Organization
To perform various duties, the Royal Gendarmerie is organised as follows :
- Headquarter which conducts the classic duties of the organisation;
- 22 Regional Gendarmeries,
- 64 Companies of Gendarmerie and
- 322 posts of Gendarmerie where they are deployed to divided small security areas.
There is a Mobile Gendarmerie specifically in charge of maintaining public order and helping the regional gendarmerie occasionally. They are ; Air Gendarmerie, Maritime Gendarmerie, Beside these major units, specialised units have been founded with the commitment to perform the duties to meet special needs which requires special capabilities. But it is worth indicating that the regional posts have a special place among these units. They are rightly accepted as a main pole of the army. The base of the services is performed according to their levels. The remaining Headquarter and specialised units are available to provide needed supports to these posts. Within the hierarchical organisation posts become more autonomous which allows them to co-operate with the local authorities and public prosecutors office. The most recent units are the environment posts. They are specifically assigned to the protection of nature. Their activities are co-ordinated by the central unit for environment founded for this aim. Commanding on top of the organisation is a chief of staff gathering all the central units together. Today the Moroccan Royal Gendarmerie is commanded by a Lieutenant General. They have been acused of taking bribes to allow for the delivery of contraband, including gasoline smuggled in from Algeria and Hashish smuggled out through Tangiers.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:

Bad for every detective everywhere.”
—John Huston (1906–1987)
