National Headquarters of the Israel Police facts for kids
The National Headquarters of the Israel Police is the main office for the Israel Police. Think of it as the central command center for all police work in Israel. It helps keep everyone safe and organized.
This important building was first set up in Tel Aviv. That was during a time called the British Mandate of Palestine. This was when Britain helped govern the area before Israel became an independent country.
Soon after Israel became independent in 1948, the headquarters moved to Jerusalem. It found a new home in an area called the Russian Compound. Later, in 1951, a smaller office opened back in Tel Aviv. Then, in 1973, the main headquarters moved again. It went to a brand new building near Mount Scopus in Jerusalem.
