Policía Nacional (actually Cuerpo Nacional de Policía, National Police Corps) is the countrywide police agency of Spain. These forces are under the sole authority of Spain's central government. They handle criminal, judicial, terrorism and immigration matters mostly. However, these forces have limited deployment and competencies in the Basque Country (autonomous community) and Catalonia territories, where Ertzaintza (Basque autonomous police) and Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan autonomous police) respectively, handle most matters.
