The Ministry of the Interior is responsible for law enforcement and public safety in Bahrain. The headquarters of the ministry is the Diwan Fort (also known as Manama Fort) in Manama, colloquially referred to as "al-gal'aa".

The current interior minister Lieutenant General Rashid bin Abdullah Al Khalifa has been in office since 2004.[1] He is a member of the Al Khalifa royal family and a cousin of King Hamad.

According to official figures, forty percent of the employees of the Interior Ministry are non-Bahraini citizens,[2] while a larger portion is believed to be made up of newly naturalized citizens.[citation needed]
