Centre de Recherche de la Gendarmerie Nationale (CRGN)

Abstract

The Research Centre of the Gendarmerie Nationale (CRGN) is connected with the Gendarmerie Nationale Officers College and headed by a director, who is a senior university professor. The centre was set up as a political initiative to provide major educational establishments, dedicated to the training of high military and civilian servants, including the funding of research facilities. Benefiting from these “think tank” potentials, the Gendarmerie Nationale Officers College deals with issues linked to homeland security and especially regarding the career of Gendarmes. The work undertaken at the centre aims at including the cadets in each and every part of their academic studies. The former documentation center of the Academy has been the touchstone of the Research center of the Gendarmerie Nationale (CRGN), hence at the origin of its creation in September 2008. It is now supervised by both military and civilian staff.
