The General Inspectorate of the Romanian Police (Inspectoratul General al Poliției Române) is the central unit of the police in Romania, a subordinate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Its headquarters is located in the former Palace of the Postal Customs (Palatul Vama Poștei) on Strada Mihai Vodă in central Bucharest.
The Post Office Customs Palace was designed by the architect Statie Ciortan who also designed several houses in Bucharest and its construction started in 1914. Due to the First World War, the construction was delayed and the building was finally completed in 1926. The Neo-Romanian building resembles similarities in style with the Bucharest City Hall.
Between 1948 and 1989 the building was used by the General Directorate of State Security, the repressive secret service of the communist regime. At the beginning of the 1990s, the Ministry of Internal Affairs used the building until they moved to the current building on Revolution Square in 2006.
Since the late 2000s the General Inspectorate of the Romanian Police has been located in the building. In 2009 the Holocaust Memorial was erected in front of the building.
