Iceland is now split up between 24 sýslumenn (magistrates) that are the highest authority over the local police (except in Reykjavík where there is a special office of police commissioner) and carry out administrative functions such as declaring bankruptcy and marrying people outside of the church.
Trenutno je Island podijeljen u 26 magistrata koji upravljaju lokalnom policijom (osim u Reykjavíku, gdje postoji poseban ured komesara policije) i izvršavaju administrativne funkcije kao što su proglašavanje bankrota i vjenčavanje ljudi izvan crkava.
