Law enforcement in San Marino

Law enforcement in San Marino is the responsibility of the centralized Civil Police (which is subject to the Secretary of State of Home Affairs), together with the Corps of Gendarmerie of San Marino (militarized police), and the Guardie di Rocca (border patrol), have been providing law enforcement in San Marino since a Statute in 1987, which redefined their roles, further supported by revised regulations for both the Gendarmerie and the Fortress Guards, which was approved by the Government of San Marino in 2008. Under the 2008 regulations the Gendarmerie and the Fortress Guards are responsible for policing, criminal investigation, national penitentiary, changing the guard, border patrol, customs control, personal protection, and national security, with the Civil Police being tasked with tax collection, domestic security, traffic control, and civil defence. Both the Gendarmerie and Guard of the Rock are subordinate to the Secretary of State of Home Affairs.

San Marino is also part of the international policing organization Interpol, and as such there is an Interpol office in San Marino City.
