gendarmerie

The National Gendarmerie is a French armed force responsible for police missions, particularly in rural and peri-urban areas. It made the news following operations coordinated with the police, such as surprise checks on public transport in Flers leading to drug seizures. A conference at the Montluçon gendarmerie school also contributes to its recent visibility. Its role is essential for public security and maintaining order across a large part of French territory.
