History

Following Taiwan’s retrocession, the Taitung County Police Bureau took over the Police Affairs Section of Taitung Precinct after the Japanese Colonial Period, and renamed it the Police Affairs Section of Taitung County Government. It was not until 1947 that the Police Affairs Section of Taitung County was officially renamed Taitung County Police Bureau which is currently still in use.
As a first-level agency of Taitung County Government, Taitung County Police Bureau is under the command and supervision of the National Police Agency of the Ministry of Interior. The General-Director of the Bureau is mandated by the county magistrate to administer and command the county’s police, along with two deputy director-generals and one chief secretary, in promoting police tasks.

In terms of field tasks, there are four precincts: Taitung Police Precinct, Guan-Shan Police Precinct, Cheng-Gong Police Precinct and Da-wu Police Precinct; 12 station offices, 63 police substations and 331 police service zones.
