French national security forces are divided into four categories: civil national police, military national police, also known as gendarmerie, civil municipal police and rural police, which are subordinate to the municipal police. The army and the police are military-type national police, which can also be regarded as police work in a broad sense. But they belong to the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of National Defense, and they are soldiers. It can be said that the tasks of the French military police are similar to those of the China Armed Police Force, mainly to defend the safety of important targets and respond to emergencies, but they have no law enforcement power. But they also belong to the national security forces.

French Interior Minister Cologne instructed provincial police chiefs to take special security measures on 24th and 25th. To this end, 54,000 policemen, 36,000 gendarmes and 7,000 soldiers have been deployed throughout France, and the total number of military and police officers involved in security has reached more than 97,000, an increase of more than 6,000 over last year.

The task of the French gendarmerie is also to protect people's safety, just like the ordinary police. The difference is that they often have heavier weapons and more important responsibilities to protect people's safety, that is, different police officers of the same task.

Summary: French gendarmerie is also a kind of police, and they also have the responsibility to protect people's safety.
