The judiciary is independent of the executive and the legislature and comprises three Supreme Courts: the [[Supreme Civil and Criminal Court of Greece]], the [[Council of State (Greece)|Council of State]] and the [[Court of Audit (Greece)|Court of Audit]]. The judicial system is also composed of civil courts, which judge civil and penal cases and administrative courts, which judge disputes between citizens and the Greek administrative authorities.

The Hellenic Police is the national police force. It is a large agency with its responsibilities ranging from [[road traffic control]] to [[counter-terrorism]]. It was established in 1984, after the merge of the [[Hellenic Gendarmerie]] and the [[Cities Police]] forces.<ref>Law 1481/1 October 1984, ''Official Journal of the Hellenic Republic'', A-152</ref>
