The Cyprus Port & Marine Police (Greek: Λιμενική και Ναυτική Αστυνομία, Turkish: Liman ve Deniz Polisi) is the marine police and the civilian Coast Guard wing of the Cyprus Police. The coast guard are tasked with the primary mission of law enforcement of the waters around, and control of the sea borders of the Republic of Cyprus. Main roles are reported to include law enforcement of illicit activities such as smuggling, terrorism, piracy and illegal fishing. The Cyprus Port and Marine Police also serve a role as a search and rescue (SAR) force. This force is equipped with patrol boats and radars.
Cyprus Marine Police boats are notable by the "PV-" (Patrol Vessel) and "PL-" (Patrol Launch) prefixes on their pennant numbers, painted on the side of the hull.
