The Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Lang), often called the Шаблон:Lang or simply the Шаблон:Lang (trente-six) by the address of its headquarters, is the seat of the Paris regional division of the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police. Its 2,200 officers investigate about 15,000 crimes and offences a year.[1]
The Judicial police (Шаблон:Lang; abbreviated Шаблон:Lang), is the criminal investigation division of the Шаблон:Lang.
Шаблон:Lang is often erroneously believed to be the address of the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police, the national authority of the criminal police, which is actually located at Шаблон:Lang, in the buildings of the Ministry of the Interior.
Since September 2017, DRPJ have their new headquarters at Шаблон:Lang. This new building concentrated all services (before they were in different places). Only the Research and Intervention Brigade stay at Шаблон:Lang.[2]
History
The Шаблон:Lang is the direct successor of the Шаблон:Lang, which was founded in 1812 by Eugène François Vidocq as the criminal investigative bureau of the Paris police. The Шаблон:Lang served later as an inspiration for Scotland Yard, the FBI and other departments of criminal investigation throughout the world.
In 1907, Georges Clemenceau, who was nicknamed Шаблон:Lang ('the Tiger'), created the twelve "brigades régionales de police mobile", as per the suggestion of Célestin Hennion, then head of The Шаблон:Lang as follows: Paris ("1ère"), Lille ("2ème"), Caen ("3ème"), Nantes ("4ème"), Tours ("5ème"), Limoges ("6ème"), Bordeaux ("7ème"), Toulouse ("8ème"), Marseille ("9ème"), Lyon ("10ème"), Dijon ("11ème") et Châlons-sur-Marne ("12ème").
In 1913, the newly appointed Préfet de Police Célestin Hennion, continued the reforms of his predecessor by dividing the police force into three main departments, judicial, intelligence and policy agenda, hence giving the Parisian PJ its current form.
Most of the Parisian Шаблон:Lang moved to the Batignolles neighbourhood, in a new building shared with the Шаблон:Lang, Paris's main tribunal. This project was criticized because of its cost and the historic status of the Шаблон:Lang.[3]
Mandate
The Paris PJ comes under the control of the Paris Police Prefecture and operates over its territorial jurisdiction, which includes the city of Paris but also the three adjacent departments of Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-Saint-Denis and Val-de-Marne.
Under the direction and supervision of the judiciary, it is responsible for the fight against criminality and delinquency and for the implementation of all technical, scientific and operational police resources needed for the inquiries. It investigates cases which involve a large scale of crimes and infractions like drug trafficking, prostitution, racketeering, kidnapping, organised crime (either criminal or financial activities), hostage taking, bomb attacks, sexual assaults, or homicides.
Organization
The Paris PJ services and units are:
- the état-major with the director and its collaborators;
- the division of the six brigades centrales (central brigades):
- the Brigade criminelle (criminal brigade – BC aka "la Crim'"), the oldest and perhaps most famous, especially in charge of homicides, kidnapping, bomb attacks and investigations involving personalities;
- the Brigade de recherche et d'intervention (research and intervention brigade – BRI aka "l'Antigang"), an elite special intervention unit specialized in hostage taking, very serious cases of armed robbery and catching dangerous gangsters;
- the Brigade de répression du banditisme (banditry repression brigade – BRB), mainly in charge of serious street infractions (bag snatching, burglary...), hold-ups and armed mugging but also of art trafficking and car robbery and trafficking;
- the Brigade des stupéfiants (drugs brigade – BS aka "les Stups"), specialized in drug trafficking;
- the Brigade de protection des mineurs (underages protection brigade – BPM aka "les Mineurs"), in charge of all infractions with victims under 18;
- the Brigade de répression du proxénétisme (procuring repression brigade – BRP aka "la Mondaine") specialized in the surveillance of prostitution and the fight against procuring;
- the division of the territorial districts (Divisions de police judiciaire or DPJ):
- 1ère DPJ (1st DPJ) with jurisdiction over the Center and West of Paris (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 8th, 9th, 16th, 17th arrondissements);
- 2ème DPJ (2nd DPJ) with jurisdiction over the North and East of Paris (10th, 11th, 12th, 18th, 19th, 20th arrondissements);
- 3ème DPJ (3rd DPJ) with jurisdiction over the South of Paris (5th, 6th, 7th, 13th, 14th, 15th arrondissements);
- SDPJ (Service départemental de police judiciaire) of Hauts-de-Seine (SDPJ 92);[4]
- SDPJ of Seine-Saint-Denis (SDPJ 93);
- SDPJ of Val-de-Marne (SDPJ 94);[5]
- the economic and financial affairs division:
- the Brigade financière (financial brigade), in charge of financial criminality;
- the Brigade de répression de la délinquance astucieuse (fraud repression brigade);
- the Brigade des fraudes aux moyens de paiement (method of payment frauds brigade);
- the Brigade de répression de la délinquance économique (economic delinquency repression brigade);
- the Brigade d'enquête sur les fraudes aux technologies de l'information (IT frauds inquiry brigade);
- the Brigade de recherches et d'investigations financières (financial researches and investigations brigade);
- the investigation support division, which includes notably the Identité judiciaire (judicial identity) in charge of all the technical and scientific analyses.
The DPJ have the qualifications to investigate every kind of crime and infraction committed over their territory, while the central brigades take the most complex cases in their area of qualification and can operate anywhere.
Due to the lack of space, only a few services are still located in the historic building of the 36, quai des Orfèvres. Located there are the état-major, the Brigade criminelle, the Brigade des stupéfiants and the BRI. The other brigades and services are spread in several buildings throughout Paris.
In fiction and films
Because of its history and its iconic status within the French police, the 36 and its services have often been described in novels, films and TV series.
