The Police Grand-Ducale , also called Police Lëtzebuerg  , ( German  Grand Ducal Police ; Luxembourgish Groussherzoglech Police ) is an executive body in Luxembourg . It is subordinate to the Minister for Public Security and was created in its current form on January 1, 2000, when the former Grand Ducal Gendarmerie and the decentralized state police merged. It is responsible for internal security , maintaining public order and enforcing the law .

history

The roots of these two organizations go back to the year 1733 and the 13th century. While the history of the gendarmerie from the time of the French occupation began in what was then the Forêts department and was therefore comparatively young, the roots of the police go back to the 13th century. Countess Ermesinde II was not only able to triple her territory during her lifetime, she also increased prosperity and security through a comprehensive administrative reform. Applying Beaumont law , she “liberated” many towns and villages. According to today's sources, the main tasks of the police at the time were:

  • Crime Prevention Patrol
  • Arrest of deserters and vagabonds
  • Monitoring of the Sunday and public holiday rest
  • Monitoring of compulsory education

from 1531 the following tasks were added to ensure "unity and mutual understanding between the subjects and His Majesty":

  • Monetary and customs surveillance, notaries, bankruptcy
  • Monopoly and food and price control
  • Supervision of the homeless, poor, vagrants
  • Duties of the registry office: dedications, weddings
  • Intervene in murder, drunkenness, horse theft, blasphemers

With the introduction of a uniform and functional administration after the French Revolution , some tasks were dropped again. The 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" (for example: "to monitor and, in service for the respective municipality, the prosecution and to establish police regulations ”), the focus of police work to this day.

The Luxembourg police have been nationalized since 1930; H. the police officers, previously subordinated exclusively to the respective municipal authorities, came under national authority. Between 1952 and 1989, a total of four police reforms were carried out: Since 1952, the police no longer bears the designation local police , but police - certainly also because of the unpleasant German occupation . In addition, this year the police of the army (and thus also the gendarmerie) were legally equated, which meant an expansion of powers. In 1980, all restrictions on territorial jurisdiction no longer existed, so that there were no longer any national borders to hinder criminal prosecution. As before, most parts of the training and the ranks in the army and police were identical. There were also transfers of officials between the two branches of the executive branch . The former military ranks have been replaced by more civil designations in today's Grand Ducal Police (created in 2000 through the merger of police and gendarmerie) (e.g. inspector, commissioner).
