Description

Historical Context:




The National Gendarmerie is one of the oldest French institutions. Indeed, it is the heir to the Maréchaussée, a military corps that, responsible for policing and justice for the armed forces since the Middle Ages, gradually became a competent police force for the entire population across almost the entire French territory. It retained its powers of extraordinary justice (known as "provost justice") until the Revolution.



In 1720, the Maréchaussée was symbolically placed under the administrative authority of the Gendarmerie de France, a heavy cavalry corps assimilated to the King's military household. This corps was dissolved on April 1, 1788. In 1791, the National Assembly, which did not wish to retain the name Maréchaussée, which was too closely linked to the Ancien Régime, renamed it the "National Gendarmerie."




A police force with military status, primarily responsible for security in rural and peri-urban areas, it is deployed throughout mainland France and overseas. In the 21st century, its area of responsibility covered 95% of the national territory and 55% of the French population. It also served alongside the French armed forces from the Revolutionary Wars through the crises of the 21st century.



In 1941, a national monument was erected in Versailles, Place de la Loi, to pay tribute to the National Gendarmerie.
