Police in Lisbon
The police maintain a fairly visible presence in Lisbon, with officers present at many local events and patrolling in cars. The Polícia de Segurança Pública (PSP) is Portugal's main urban police force.

Crime
Drug-related petty crime may be a problem after dark in some areas of the city and the Intendente area of the capital is often cited as a place to be wary. On the whole, Lisbon is very safe compared with other European capitals.
Some of the Portuguese police patrol cars could do with an update as the rust bucket above demonstrates. And low and behold a few years later.
