Bundespolizei is not a Gendarmerie[edit]

see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Gendarmerie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Police_(Germany) http://www.bundespolizei.de the former Bundesgrenzschutz was a Gendarmerie, Bundespolizei is NOT !!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.208.184.100 (talk) 14:32, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

United States Coast Guard[edit]

I don't believe the United States has something that could be considered a gendarmerie, and if it did, it'd be the National Guard and not the Coast Guard, I'd think. --173.104.2.37 (talk) 11:53, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Coast Guard performs law enforcement functions much more regularly than the National Guard does, though I suppose both could fit the basic idea. --75.68.220.93 (talk) 20:34, 12 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Panamanian Public Forces[edit]

do Panamanian Public Forces count? or are they a civilian police, they seem to have more of a military capability than Costa Rica, who are on the list, but I don't know what criteria this list uses.--108.5.230.165 (talk) 20:51, 2 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I came to ask the same question. Paul, in Saudi (talk) 03:30, 2 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

South Africa[edit]

South African Police was a gendarmerie and ceased to exist in 1994 . From 1994 to 2010 the South African Police Service was a fully civilian police but in 2010 it was militarized although it kept the same name, therefore South Africa should appear there too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.183.21.74 (talk) 20:38, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Finland, Poland, former german Bundesgrenzschutz[edit]

AFAIK the Finland and Poland and former (West)Germany do have a similar Type of organization for border guard duties. under control of the ministry of interior and (limited) police competences, but are combatants, do have military ranks, training and armament (e.g. RPGs) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rabauz (talkcontribs) 02:12, 9 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Stricter definition is needed[edit]

1) Civil law enforcemenent by 2) a militiarized corps (i.e. a corps subject to military disciplinary law). 3) Does border guards without other jurisdiction belong here? Creuzbourg (talk) 20:24, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In the article Gendarmerie A gendarmerie is defined as "a military force with law enforcement duties among the civilian population". Many gendarmeries here do not meet this criteria; others are excluded. Creuzbourg (talk) 20:27, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In the same article is said: "Services such as the Italian Guardia di Finanza would rarely be defined as gendarmeries since the service is of an ambiguous military status and does not have general policing duties amongst the civilian population."

Royal Thai Police[edit]

The Royal Thai Police can fully be identified as a Gendarmerie force. In the description of the Wikipedia Royal Thai Police page it does confirm the strong links that it has with the military as well as its nature as well. Sevs17 (talk) 21:47, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
