.politie Domain

National police services in the Netherlands sit behind .politie, a restricted extension from ICANN's 2012 New gTLD Program and one of very few law enforcement strings in the entire round. Police forces carry an impersonation exposure unlike any commercial applicant: fraudulent sites claiming police authority are used to extract fines, personal data, and cooperation from people who have no reason to doubt them.

Use covers public information, reporting and contact destinations, regional force content, and recruitment resources. Registration is closed to the public and the extension carries no aftermarket. It stands as the round's clearest demonstration that a brand TLD can serve a purely civic function, where the return is measured in fraud prevented rather than revenue earned.
