French law enforcement.
 
Line 9:
** Also includes the ''Compagnies Républicaines de Sécurité'' (CRS), essentially France's riot police. Both the CRS and Gendarmerie Mobile have cool Robocop-dubbed suits to better withstand the various projectiles thrown at them by demonstrators.
** A lot of people considers the Gendarmes Mobiles to be [[Elite Mook|the upgraded, more violent version of the CRS]].
** The GIGN (''Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale'', National Gendarmerie Intervention Group) is considered the most elite group, and is only dispatched in extreme cases (assault with hostages, terrorism... Their most well-known operation is the [[wikipedia:Air France Flight 8969|Air France Flight 8969 hostage situation]], where a group planning a 9/11-like terrorist attack was wiped out without losing any hostages during the assault). They also have a strict [[Faceless Goons|concealment of identity]] policy. While the GIGN is part of the Army, the police have their own [[SWAT Team|SWAT Teams]]s: the GIPN (''Groupe d'Intervention de la Police Nationale'', National Police Intervention Group) has teams in every large city. When things go [[Oh Crap|really south]] (for example, the Neuilly hostage situation of 1993, where a man known as "Human Bomb" took a whole preschool class hostage), the police resort to the [[Up to Eleven]] version of the GIPN, the RAID (''Recherche, Assistance, Intervention, Dissuasion'', Research, Assistance, Intervention, Deterrence).
