FOR AREAS OR CASES UNDER FEDERAL JURISIDCTION, POLICE FUNCTIONS ARE DIVIDED BETWEEN THE FEDERAL POLICE DIRECTORATE (BUNDESPOLIZEIDIREKTION), WHICH OPERATES IN LARGE CITIES, AND THE GENDARMERIE, WHICH OPERATES IN ALL OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. BOTH ORGANIZATIONS ARE UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF THE INTERIOR. --IN GERMAN SEE NCJ-34250 FOR ENGLISH TRANSLATION.
