Law enforcement in Italy

Law enforcement in Italy is centralized on a national level, with multiple national forces, assisted by some local law enforcement agencies. The two main police forces are the Carabinieri, the national gendarmerie, and the Polizia di Stato, the civil national police. The Guardia di Finanza is a militarized police force responsible for dealing with financial crime, smuggling, and illegal drug trade. Border and maritime patrolling are undertaken by the Polizia di Frontiera, a division of the Polizia di Stato, and the Guardia Costiera . The Polizia Penitenziaria is the national prison police agency, controlling penitentiaries and inmate transfers. The Corpo Forestale dello Stato formerly existed as a separate national park ranger agency, but was merged into the Carabinieri in 2016. Alongside national police forces,Polizia Locale are also concerned with policing at a local level.
