Location of Warsaw metropolitan area in Poland
Although police garrisons coincide in principle with the division into provinces, the area defined identically to the above was exceptionally separated in 2002 from the area of the Mazowieckie police garrison and covered by the jurisdiction of the Capital Police Headquarters with provincial status, while the remaining part of the Mazowieckie Voivodeship is the area of the jurisdiction of the Provincial Police Headquarters in Radom

The Warsaw metropolitan area (known in Polish as: aglomeracja warszawska or Miejski Obszar Funkcjonalny Warszawy) is the metropolitan area of Warsaw, the capital of Poland. The metropolitan area covers ten counties in the Masovian Voivodeship, with an area of 6,100 km²[3][4] and a population of around 3.5 million in 2022.[5] The area constitutes a separate NUTS 2 unit, as well as a separate police region with a dedicated Capital Metropolitan Police Headquarters, both of them carved out from the Masovian Voivodeship as an exception, as Polish NUTS 2 areas and police regions are in general identical to the territories of voivodeships.

The largest cities or towns within the metropolitan area are Warsaw, Pruszków, Legionowo, Otwock, Mińsk Mazowiecki, Piaseczno and Wołomin.

Public transport in the metropolitan area is served by the Warsaw Public Transport Authority (Zarząd Transportu Miejskiego).
