Hello again people!!!
After the Armed Forces, is time for the Department of Homeland Security (Ministero degli Interni - Dipartimento Sicurezza Interna).
We will start with the Gendarmerie (Corpo della Gendarmeria) that is the Police service of the Kingdom of Caribia. The Gendarmeria is responsible for the public security and many other roles that are provided by the national polices.
In the law enforcement sector the Gendarmeria cover all the duties in the cities to the smallest villages of Caribia, with the "self accomplished" duties the Gendarmeria cooperate with the other Corps of the DHS to provide a better cover of the Country, for example the Coast Guard (Guardia Costiera) cooperate with the Gendarmeria for the border Protection on the sea side, and each ship of the CG carry at least one Gendarme (Gendarmerie policeman).
As said, except for the law enforcement, the Gendarmeria provide the Embassy security in the Caribia homalnd to the foreign delegations as well as the Caribia delegations in foreign countries.
More descriptions will be found in the papers, and some additional papers will come out soon, including one withe the policemen and their duties and equipment.
Enjoy!!!
The Alfa Romeo 159 is one of he main car of the Gendarmeria, other than the Standard Pursuit Car you can find also the K9 unit and a Highway Patrol Car, the Station Wagon is used as Standard Pursuit Car and to transport max 1 prisoner.
The engine is a Gasoline Dodge engine, common with the Charger.
The Dodge Charger is the second main car of the Gendarmeria, is present in the same versions of the Alfa but instead of the Station Wagon, is present an SRT-8 "Super Pursuit" for the Highway Patrol.
The main pick up truck used is the Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab, this version use a Diesel engine from the Italian VM Motori.
The FIAT Ducato is the main "light" van used in an huge variety of roles, from the simple van to high value and sofisticated Communication Relays for the command posts in mass emergencies.
The FIAT Scudo is used used as mini-van by the Gendarmeria, mostly to carry around the agents and some light equipment for the various needs.
The IVECO Crossway is used in 2 very different versions, the first is a regular 55 seat bus, the other on is sophisticate Interforce Command Center for use in very delicate situations.
The IVECO Daily is real backbone of the Gendarmeria, this vehicle absolve at most of the critics duties, even if some of the "hard worker" are shown in a separate paper.
The IVECO EuroCargo is the big brother of the Daily, this vehicle is used principally as mobile command post for various departments of the Gendarmeria and for carry heavy stuff. The 4x4 versions are provided only at Special Units and in very few numbers.
The IVECO Massif of the Gendarmeria is not so different from the Massif of the National Guard, those vehicles are used in the country side of Caribia, mostly out of the cities, the rural environment is the natural habitat of this 4x4.
The Land Rover Discovery 4 is used as main SUV by the Gendarmeria, at the momente they are evaluating other SUV to add togheter like the FIAT Freemont/Dodge Journey as cheapest solution to replace the old Discovery 3.
The Detective section of the Gendarmeria use undercover cars (here shown black) that can be hide in the traffic of the city, the Detectives are all Special Agents, and their duty go from the major crimes, to drug dealing affair till Anti-Mafia.
The Anti-Riot units (Reparti Mobili Anti Sommossa) are present in most of the cities and their duty is quite obvious...
Last ONE is the SWAT, the SWAT in Caribia is used as less as possible, as "extrema ratio" (wich is also the motto of the unit) and is present in every big city and some country stations. Their duties goes from the HRT (Hostage Rescue Team) to the Counter-Terrorist.
Enjoy!!!
PS some more additions will arrive during the week, so stay tuned!!!
