MODERATORS
french police are a part of the french military, in a colonial context like this they are 100% an army of occupation
Gendarmes are the police branch of the military (they're mostly present in rural areas and in elite teams like GIGN), we also have Police Nationale which is your standard popo and the Police Municipale which is local police for towns and city centers.
