Francuska ima dvije policijske agencije sa nadležnošću na cijeloj državnoj teritoriji: Policiju (Police Nationale) i Žandarmeriju (Gendarmerie National) Policija je uglavnom zadužena za održavanje reda u gradovima i nalazi se pod upravom Ministarstva unutarnjih poslova, dok je žandarmerija, kao sastavni dio vojske, zadužena (opet uglavnom) za red u ruralnim područjima i u Ministarstvu unutarnjih poslova. Uz njih još jedna agencija ima ovlasti privođenja i pretraživanja, a to je Carinska služba (Douanes).

 

France has two national general-purpose law enforcement agencies: the Police Nationale (civilian force; primary responsibility in urban areas; run under the Ministry of the Interior) and the Gendarmerie Nationale (military force; primary responsibility in rural areas and military installations; run under the Ministry of Defence and under operational control, for most purposes, of the Ministry of the Interior). The national government also has a Customs service (Direction générale des Douanes et Droits indi-rects). Those three agencies are the only ones legally capable of making full arrests or serving search warrants. A similar diffusion exists, or has existed, in several other countries following the French system.
