Summary edit

Description

Insignia from my collection of SWITZERLAND Law Enforcement Agencies.

Switzerland is a Federation of 26 "States"(Carton; Kanton; Cantone - dependant upon whether French, German or Italian language predominates). Each "State" has a Police force, as do some municipalities within the "State".

The municipal police of Switzerland are a series of separate forces maintained by the municipalities of each canton. There are between 100 and 300 municipal police forces. Most of these forces are responsible for general law and order and parking enforcement only. In some larger cities, the municipal police also carry out traffic control and in Zurich, Winterthur and Lausanne they provide a full policing service. Municipal police forces send their recruits to the same regional police academies as the cantons do.
