Italy
The Italian State Police, the Polizia di Stato, is one of three national police forces in Italy. They are the civilian force and perform general police duties alongside the Carabinieri and Guardia di Finanza, which are both military.
The Polizia Provinciale (Provincial Police) operate in only some of the 109 provinces of Italy. Their main duties are to enforce regional and national hunting and fishing laws but they have also expanded into wildlife management and environmental protection.
