As established by the Law on Police and Social Coexistence (''Ley de Policía y Convivencia Social''), municipalities can fund their own municipal police (''Policía Municipal'') and the Central District operates a Municipal Police force of 160 officers.  The Municipal Department of Justice (''Departamento Municipal de Justicia'') through its Municipal Police Court (''Juzgado de Policía Municipal'') enforces and prosecutes local law offenses.
