The Compagnies Républicaines de Sécurité (CRS) ((英語:Republican Security Companies)) are the riot control forces and general reserve of the French National Police. The CRS were created on 8 December 1944 and the first units were organised by 31 January 1945. The CRS were reorganized in 1948. The task for which they are best known is crowd and riot control and re-establishment of order. The expression ''les CRS'' refers to the whole force. It would be understood in the feminine plural insofar as the noun ''compagnie'' is feminine, but is typically used in the masculine to refer to the troops, most of whom are male (thus, masc.pl.). In French slang ''un CRS'' (masc.sg.) may mean "a CRS man". ==History== After the Groupes mobiles de réserve (GMR) (created by the Vichy régime) were dissolved, the CRS were created on 8 December 1944. The CRS is a civilian corps (unlike the gendarmes, who are military), trained in anti-insurrection and antiriot techniques. The CRS had their first serious action in combatting the 1947 strikes in France. Communist sympathisers were highly present among their ranks (which explains their history of engagement in the French Resistance, and according to some due to a desire to practice entryism). The French Communist Party (PCF) took on the role of opposition to postwar governments. On 12 November 1947, there was a demonstration in Marseilles called by the CGT union and the PCF; the CRS (a majority of whom were Communists at the time), refused to act against it. After this, several component companies of the CRS were dissolved and reorganized in 1948 to remove Communist influence among their ranks. ==Role== Each company is specialized in one field: * Motorway police in urban areas * Security of public buildings and crowd control. Some of these officers are cross trained and are used in summer as lifeguard team supervisors (they also enforce applicable laws in the beach). * Mountain Rescue : one company and several sections administratively attached to a local company. The CRS are grouped in units living in barracks. They generally operate away from their base town. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Compagnies Républicaines de Sécurité」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
