It is for a UK audience. It is a letter from "Oddelenia dokladov" of "Odboru poriadkovej polície" of "Okresného riaditeľstva policajného zboru SR" to DVLA in the UK regarding an exchange of a British driving licence for a Slovak driving licence or thereabouts.

Can I just say this is why some of the stuff I have to proof is so just bad. When you make the English version sound just like the Slovak version, the point sometimes is just not there. We need to make the target text UNDERSTANDABLE for the English reader, and so no, Kristian is not right and frankly saying "civil police" is just like Stuart said, it is as opposed to military police, There's a huge difference.
Vladimír Hoffman Mar 2, 2017:
Frankly, I do not understand, why no one looked at definition of the term in Slovakia:
http://www.minv.sk/?informacie-1
Of course, it is always difficult to translate into different cultural environment, but description of tasks of "poriadkovej polície" reminded me Ed McBain's frequent distinguishing among detectives (who does not wear uniform) and constables (who perform all the dirty work and usually wear uniform).
So, in this case I would go for Police Contable Corps, POlice Constabulary or something similar. Paradoxically, Kristian is quite close.
Hannah Geiger (X) Mar 1, 2017:
@Kristian As you wish, but there is no such animal re the Czech (or Slovak) Police, IMO
Kristian Madar (asker) Mar 1, 2017:
Thanks guys, I think I will go with Department of Civil Police as this seems to fit my context
Roni_S Mar 1, 2017:
@Hannah Agreed, that seems right. I don't know if the asker is translating for a UK or US audience, but I think a good compromise might be "Public Order Division (or Department, as preferred)".
Hannah Geiger (X) Mar 1, 2017:
I looked this up in Chromá, who has beat for the UK and patrol for the USA under pořádková policie. Some instances also have "order maintenance" i.e. public order maintenance. Here is a Czech description http://www.policie.cz/clanek/sprava-zapadoceskeho-kraje-voln...
Roni_S Mar 1, 2017:
I dealt with this about 2 years ago and in my context I was able to get away with using "patrol" in the sentence because it made complete sense. Is this designation a remnant of communism maybe? The Slovaks I asked about it said riot police might be too narrow of a definition as Stuart said, because their duties encompass a much greater range, but "civil police" sounds odd too, and maybe fitting for China but not Slovakia? An Americanism would probably be "beat cop" - the police that patrol the streets and encroach where necessary, but do not, say, investigate crimes.
Stuart Hoskins Mar 1, 2017:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_enforcement_by_country : civil police seems to be in contrast to military police (in Brazil, where – strangely to my ears – “the Military Police are public order police, and the Civil Police investigative police”). This Article also uses civil uniformed police for China and civilian police. Either of these might work.
Kristian Madar (asker) Mar 1, 2017:
Maybe civil police? As opposed to 'Criminal Police' etc..

agree Rad Graban (X) : Možno by som pridal "department".
2 hrs
Vďaka. Áno, ale hore je len - poriadková polícia. Odbor poriadkovej polície je - Public Order Police Department alebo Section - lebo pod tým je ešte - Oddelenie dokumentov, čo tiež môže byť alebo skôr je department.

riot police

judging by Google images, I’d agree with the dictionary suggestion of “riot police”, although poriadková polícia duties may be more far-reaching
Note from asker:
I came across this term riot police, however in a different context, This is a header of a document sent from Slovakia to the UK police just notifying that they are returning a driving licence. This does not fit in here. Sorry if i wasnt clear in the question
