The role of the police is to enforce the law, to ensure the safety, health, and possessions of citizens, and to prevent crime and civil disorder.
French police is organised in two national bodies - Police nationale for cities with 5.000 inhabitants and up and the Gendarmerie for the smaller communities and assisting the Police national when required. The pictures are organized according to region, with Paris as a separate entry.
