Police in Brussels

The police zones

In the past, the police were managed by the municipalities. However, since its reformation in January 2001, Belgium is now divided into 196 police zones, also known as inter-police zones or IPZ.

The Brussels-Capital Region has a total of six police zones. Each of these zones covers several municipalities and has its own police regulations:

·        Police zone Brussels City Ixelles 5339: Brussels-City and Ixelles

·        Police zone Brussels-West 5340: Molenbeek-Saint-Jean, Koekelberg, Jette, Ganshoren and Berchem-Sainte-Agathe

·        Police zone Midi 5341: Anderlecht, Saint-Gilles and Forest

·        Police zone Uccle/Watermael-Boitsfort/Auderghem 5342: Uccle, Watermael-Boitsfort and Auderghem

·        Police zone Montgomery 5343: Etterbeek, Woluwe-Saint-Pierre and Woluwe-Saint-Lambert
