Gendarme: Choosing the right equipment

Like all security professions, gendarmerie professions are not ordinary jobs. And exceptional profession means exceptional equipment! Whether it's equipment, clothing, accessories or intervention equipment, gendarmes deserve the best to be able to ensure security under ideal conditions!

Summary:

• DGGN Approval
• The gendarmerie: an essential security force

For security reasons, the sale of equipment and clothing intended for active gendarmes is regulated. All gendarmerie professions are concerned: dog handler, motorcycle gendarme, mobile gendarme, high mountain gendarme and even underwater investigator. VET SÉCURITÉ has received DGGN approval, which guarantees the authenticity and reliability of gendarmerie items sold on the site. Thus, you can buy online your intervention clothing or your gendarme uniform with complete confidence.  Our products are subject to conditions, which means that delivery is carried out only to barracks or upon presentation of a mandatory professional card copy.

The gendarmerie is one of our oldest institutions! It is indeed the heir to the constabularies created during the Hundred Years' War (1337-1450) to control the armies. We had to wait until the 16th century for its missions to be extended to civil protection. The "National Gendarmerie" entity was born in the midst of the Revolution, following a law enacted on February 16, 1791. Today, the National Gendarmerie is attached to the Ministry of the Interior, but retains its status as an Armed Forces unit, and its members are military personnel. Traditionally deployed in rural and peri-urban areas, the National Gendarmerie acts in complementarity with Police forces, generally concentrated in urban areas. In the field, the Gendarmerie consists of departmental gendarmerie units, mobile gendarmerie, republican guard and special units.

Like any security activity, each gendarmerie mission requires specialized and perfectly adapted equipment. For example, members of the mobile gendarmerie intervene in crisis situations, such as maintaining public order, or for delicate missions, such as nuclear transport security. They must be able to rely, for example, on high-quality boots or intervention gloves that provide them with maximum protection.

Like all law enforcement officers, gendarmes are in high demand to protect public places against the terrorist threat. To remain on duty for several hours, gendarmes must rely on comfortable and practical warm clothing. As law enforcement officers, gendarmes sometimes resort to arrests for which the quality of their equipment is decisive: handcuffs, defense baton... They may also be required to provide first aid or assist a seriously injured victim.

As in all institutional bodies, gendarmerie clothing follows very strict codes. VET SÉCURITÉ offers, for example, polo shirts "Gendarmerie Blue" as well as all official badges, stripes, ranks, medals or decorations of the gendarmerie.
