Definition
Aliens Police is an official or semi-official English label used in some Central and Eastern European countries for police departments that administer foreigner residence matters. Depending on the country, the office may handle registration, biometrics, residence-card collection, address reporting, or in-country permit steps. The label sounds unusual in plain English, but applicants often see it directly on government portals and appointment systems.
