Police service

Formerly managed by the communes, the police service was restructured in January 2001. Belgium was split into 196 police zones, also known as inter-police zones or by the French acronym ZIP. There are six police zones in the Brussels-Capital Region. Each one covers several communes and has its own police regulations:
