National Gendarmerie (Kanjor)

The Gendarmerie Nationale is the main police force of Kanjor. It is in fact a branch of the military, and control is held through the Minister of Defence, with close collaboration from the Minister of the Interior.

History
The Gendarmerie Nationale was formed from the Police Force Unification Act of 2341, from the five provincial police forces, which ranged from proper police forces, through to local vigilante militias under the control of local governments. Following the Talenfort troubles, the Unification Act was announced to prevent another Talenfort from occuring. The Gendarmie de Sovalt performed well in Talenfort, but fears were that lesser-able police forces in Vagderra and Yewao would not be able to deal with such an uprising.
