The Police Grand -Ducale ( German Grand Ducal Police ) is an organ of the executive in Luxembourg. It is subordinate to the Ministry of Interior, was established in its current form on 1 January 2000 when it was merged with the gendarmerie. She is responsible for internal security, maintenance of public order and enforce the laws.

History

The roots of these two organizations date back to 1733 or to the 13th century. While the story of the gendarmerie began from the time of the French occupation in the then Department Forêts and thus was relatively young, go to the roots of the police back to the 13th century. Countess Ermesinde II was not only able to triple their lifetimes their empire, they increased by a comprehensive administrative reform and the prosperity and security. Using the law of Beaumont "liberated " them many towns and villages. After today's source location, the main tasks of the then police were:

  • Patrol for crime prevention
  • Fixing of deserters and vagabonds
  • Monitoring of Sunday and holiday rest
  • Monitoring of compulsory education

From 1531 came the following tasks for the granting of "unity and mutual understanding between the subjects and His Majesty " to:

  • Currency and customs monitoring, notaries, bankruptcy beings
  • Monopoly essence, and food and price control
  • Supervision of homeless, poor, vagrants
  • Tasks of the registry office: dedications, weddings
  • Intervention in cases of murder, drunkenness, horse theft, blasphemers

With the introduction of a unified and functioning administration after the French Revolution some tasks accounted for again. Focus of the work was now " de veiller et tenir la main dans l' étendue de chaque municipalité, à l' exécution des lois et règlements de Police " (such as: " to monitor and, in service errand for the respective community, law enforcement and police regulations set " ) until today focus of police work.

Since 1930, the Luxembourg police are nationalized. In the years 1952-1989 a total of four police reforms were carried out: Since 1952, bears the police - certainly because of the unpleasant German occupation - not the name of Local Police but Police. In addition, the police of the army was legally equivalent this year, which thus got more power. 1980, all restrictions of a territorial authority ceased to exist, so that no in-country limits hinder the prosecution. As before, part of the training and all ranks in the army and police are identical. Also find dislocations of officials between the two arms of the executive branch instead.
