One thing to note about some gendarmerie units is that they actually are military units that also have civilian policing duties. The are not a federal police force but an army unit that takes on federal policing roles. The French Gendarmerie Nationale and the Portuguese Guarda Nacional Republicana are examples of such military units whereas the Swiss Gendarmerie is purely police.
