Law enforcement in Italy is provided by multiple police forces, five of which are national, Italian agencies. == General Considerations == Italy divides police enforcement in Military and Civil guards, distinguishing each "corps" for duties and jurisdictions. All law enforcement officers are considered "Pubblico Ufficiale" (''Public Functionary'') but not all officers are "Agente di Pubblica Sicurezza" (''Public Safety officer'') as the latter gives the authority to arrest, investigate and patroll in the whole national territory and in all situations. All police are under the Ministero dell'Interno, the highest police and public safety authority, which - through the Department of Public Safety - coordinates the enforcements. Locally, Polizia di Stato is under the Authority of the Prefetto, who collaborates with the Questore (the local chief of Polizia di Stato, with technical jurisdiction on all forces.) to organise the enforcements. Polizia Locale is under the authority of the mayor, but the officers' mandate is valid only during duty time, while Carabinieri, Polizia di Stato and Guardia di Finanza (which are public safety agents) are always "on duty", even during leave and vacations. During 2005 in Italy, the number of active police officers from all agencies totaled 324,339, the highest number in the European Union both overall and per capita, twice the number of agents in the similarly sized United Kingdom.〔(Crime and Criminal Justice - Issue number 19/2008 (KS-SF-08-019) )〕 However, in this numbers are included the members of the Arma dei Carabinieri, one of the four Italian Armed Forces, that does not have the unique role of police enforcement. 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「Law enforcement in Italy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
