The '''Federal Reserve Police''' is the law enforcement arm of the [[Federal Reserve System]], the [[central bank|central banking system]] of the [[Economy of the United States|United States]].
The Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System derives the authority to authorize "personnel as law enforcement officers to protect and safeguard the premises, grounds, property, personnel, including members of the Board, of the Board, or any Federal Reserve Bank, and operations conducted by or on behalf of the Board or a reserve bank" from Section 11(q) of the [[Federal Reserve Act]], codified at {{usc|12|248(q)}}.
To be a Federal Reserve Law Enforcement Officer one must attend a district Federal Reserve Police Academy and be sworn in as a Federal Law Enforcement Officer. The Federal Reserve Police is nationally accredited by the Federal Law Enforcement Training Accreditation (FLETA). Additionally, all Federal Reserve Police Instructors are [[FLETC]] certified.
