Tasks

The Carabinieri developed as a branch of service of the Italian army, to which they belonged up to the year 2000. Today they are their own armed service, but their tasks hardly changed in the last two centuries. The Carabinieri places the military police of the Italian armed forces and differs in this connection only insignificantly from the military police of the German German Federal Armed Forces, to the field hunters. Beyond that they have the task in the case of defense to participate with own, predominantly infantry federations and other units in the bordering and national defense. In this connection they represent a territorial army in the broadest sense. Besides they provide general and special police service after instruction of the ministry of the Interior and within special ranges (among other things consumer protection, health service, environmental protection, cultural property protection) also after instruction of other Ministries. Here they hardly differ from the Polizia di Stato and other state and national police of other states. The reason for the existence of two national police body with general tasks lies desiring to prevent an excessive concentration of power in a hand and/or in a Ministry. In Italy, in addition, in France (Gendarmerie national one), Spain (Guardia civil) and other states military and civil police watch out one on the other not only for humans, but also. The loss in efficiency by redundancies, resulting sometimes from it, is counterbalanced in opinion of many by the fact that by the allocation into two different police bodies can be prevented to possible making and office abuse of a only one national police organization. Beyond that improve the competition relationship between the police the motivation of its respective members, relatively minted in Italy. The duality of military Gendarmerie and civilian police developed (also in Germany, see land hunters) because of the differences between city and country, minted in former times. For the cities the civil civil police was responsible, the rural coined/shaped country left one to the military and/or the for this purpose set up military police troops like the Carabinieri. This police organization grown historically is to be recognized today still by the close network of Carabinieri stations on the country.

Regarding Germany these police structures went down because of the many historical breaks. But as in other states one tries here to prevent by an allocation of the police on federation and (above all) countries a concentration of power in a hand. Sometimes in Italy and other states, which have a binary national police structure, one considers these overcomes seeming organization form already for some time. Reforms (like e.g. a misalignment of the military police troops into the division of the ministries of the Interior as preliminary stage of a fusion) failed always possession condition thinking and Traditionalismus. Austria succeeded it in the year 2005, its civil police with the Bundesgendarmerie and the tariff guard to a only one national police body to seize the federal police together. There were similar fusions also in the Benelux states. These reforms could become on a long-term basis at least partial central until (without Guardia di Finanza) the model for Italy and other states.
