What we do

What we do

The Australian Federal Police (AFP) is Australia’s national policing agency. Our role is to protect Australians and Australia's interests from serious criminal threats.

We take a 21st century approach to law enforcement, working in Australia and internationally with our partners to outsmart crime through intelligent action.

In 2020-21, we disrupted 411 major criminal operations, including terrorism, drug trafficking and child exploitation

We also provide specialist protective services, international police assistance and community policing in the Australian Capital Territory and external Australian territories, including Norfolk Island and Christmas Island.

In a time of rapidly evolving criminal activity, our global networks and world-leading expertise across multiple areas – from forensics and intelligence to investigations – help us stay a step ahead.
