| National Security - Panama | | | | | |
The Government has converted the former PDF into the Panamanian Public Force (PPF), a "law enforcement focused" force that is subordinate to civilian authority, composed of four independent organizations: the Panamanian National Police (Policia Nacional de Panam· or PNP), National Maritime Service (Servicio Maritimo Nacional or SMN), the National Air Service (Servicio AÈreo Nacional or SAN), and the Institutional Protectional Service (Servicio de ProtecciÛn Institucional or SPI). A constitutional amendment passed in 1994 permanently abolished the military.
Law enforcement units that are separated from the PPF, such as the Technical Judicial Police, also are directly subordinate to civilian authorities. The PPF budget, in contrast to the former PDF, is on public record and under the control of the executive.
