French Police Cars

Police cars are usually very visible in our society, advertising the important role of police and much loved by children. 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. The authors have made a similar book on American police cars and the styles are quite different between the two countries. We hope you will enjoy our selection of photos.
