The Gendarmerie is essentially a governmental armed security and law enforcement force. The Commander of the Gendarmerie reports to the Minister of the Interior. The Gendarmerie has its roots in the [[Ottoman Empire]] military law enforcement organization "Subaşı" (later known as the "Zaptiye"), which carried out security and safety services. A similar, earlier force was called "Şurta" during the medieval [[Seljuq Empire]]. ==History== ===Ottoman era=== {{main article|Ottoman Gendarmerie}} After the [[Auspicious Incident|abolition]] of the [[Janissary]] corps of the [[Ottoman Empire]] in 1826, military organizations called ''Asâkir-i Muntazâma-i Mansûre'', ''Asâkir-i Muntazâma-i Hâssa'', and, in 1834, ''Asâkir-i Redîfe'' were established to deliver security and public order services in [[Anatolia]] and in some provinces of [[Rumelia]]. [[File:British Officers in the Ottoman Gendarmerie Graphic June 25 1904.JPG|thumb|left|British officers in the Ottoman Gendarmerie, 1904]] Since the term Gendarmerie was noticed only in the Assignment Decrees published in the years following the [[Edict of Gülhane|declaration]] of [[Tanzimat]] in 1839, it is assumed that the Gendarmerie organization was founded after that year, but the exact date of foundation has not yet been determined. Therefore, taking the June 14 of "June 14, 1869", on which ''Asâkir-i Zaptiye Nizâmnâmesi'' was adopted, June 14, 1839 was accepted as the foundation date of the Turkish Gendarmerie.<ref name="History">{{cite web| url=http://www.jandarma.tsk.tr/ing/tarihce/history.htm| title=THE SHORT HISTORY OF THE GENDARMERIE GENERAL COMMAND| website=Jandarma.tsk.tr| accessdate=July 25, 2013| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120625190930/http://www.jandarma.tsk.tr/ing/tarihce/history.htm| archive-date=June 25, 2012| url-status=dead| df=mdy-all}}</ref> After the [[Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878)|1877–1878 Russo-Turkish War]], Ottoman prime minister [[Mehmed Said Pasha]] decided to bring some officers from Britain and France to establish a modern law enforcement organization. After the [[Young Turk Revolution]] in 1908, the Gendarmerie achieved great successes, particularly in Rumelia. In 1909, the Gendarmerie was affiliated with the Ministry of War, and its name was changed to the Gendarmerie General Command ({{lang-ota|Umûm Jandarma Kumandanlığı}}). Gendarmerie units continued their internal security duties as well as taking part in the conflict at various fronts as a part of the Armed Forces during [[World War I]] and the [[Turkish War of Independence]]. ===Republic of Turkey=== The Gendarmerie organization achieved its current legal status after Law No. 1706 entered into force on June 10, 1930. In 1939, the Gendarmerie organization was restructured, having three groups: Fixed Gendarmerie Units, Mobile Gendarmerie Units, and Gendarmerie Training Units and Schools. Law No. 6815, which entered into force in 1956, assigned the Gendarmerie General Command duties such as protecting borders, coasts and territorial waters, and fighting smuggling, which had been previously carried out by the ''Gümrük Umum Kumandanlığı'' that was a military organization at the level of division in affiliation to the Ministry of Customs and Monopoly. In 1957, Gendarmerie Border Units were transformed into brigades, and Gendarmerie Training Brigades were established. In 1961, Gendarmerie Regional Commands were established. In 1968, the first Gendarmerie Aviation Unit was established in [[Diyarbakır]] under the name of Light Helicopter Company Command. In 1974, Gendarmerie Commando Units and Gendarmerie Aviation Units took part in the [[Turkish invasion of Cyprus]]. Law No. 2692 which entered into force in 1982 assigned the duty of protecting the coasts and territorial waters to the Coast Guard Command. Law No. 2803 on the Organization, Duties and Responsibilities of the Gendarmerie entered into force in 1983. Law No. 3497 entering into force in 1988 assigned the duty of protecting the land borders and ensuring their security to the Land Forces Command, but Gendarmerie General Command still holds the responsibility for some parts of the Iranian and Syrian borders and the whole Iraqi border. Gendarmerie Criminal Department was founded in [[Ankara]] in 1993 and Gendarmerie Regional Criminal Laboratory Superiorities were founded respectively in 1994 in Van, in 1998 in [[Bursa]] and in 2005 in [[Aydın]]. Crime Scene Examination Teams, Explosive Material Disposal Units, Fingerprints and Palm Prints Branches and Crime Scene Examination Units were also established. In 2016, with the amendment made in the 4th article of the Gendarmerie Command, Duties and Powers Law numbered 2803 with the decree law no. 668, the Gendarmerie General Command was affiliated to the [[Ministry of Interior (Turkey)|Ministry of Interior.]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.jandarma.gov.tr/tarihce|title=Tarihçe|website=www.jandarma.gov.tr|access-date=2020-02-08}}</ref> In 2018, [[Gendarmerie Special Operations]] participated in '[[Operation Olive Branch]]' held in the north of Syria. The Gendarmerie General Command currently operates on a 24-hour basis, with a total of 3,600 units, including 3,056 Internal Security Units, 218 Commando Units, 162 Prison Units, 160 Protection Units and 4 Aviation Units, in order to ensure the security of life and property of [[Turkey]] citizens. == Duties == The duties of the gendarmerie according to the Law No. 2803 on the Organization, Duties and Powers of the Gendarmerie; It is categorized under four main titles as judicial, military, civil and other duties.<ref>{{Cite web|url=law 2803|title=https://www.mevzuat.gov.tr/MevzuatMetin/1.5.2803.pdf|last=|first=|date=|website=|url-status=live|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=}}</ref> === Judicial duties === * Revealing crime and criminals, * Catch of the criminals, * Transferring evidence of crime to judicial authorities, * To conduct a preparatory investigation on the instructions of the public prosecutor, * To send convicts and prisoners from penal institutions to the courthouse. === Civil duties === * To ensure that the services for general safety and security are carried out in accordance with the relevant legislation, * To carry out the services of informing the public about how to protect the society from public order crime, directing children and young people to crime and taking precautionary measures, * To evaluate the information and statistics about public order crimes, to conduct or have an analysis of the crime and to determine the methods of combating crime to prevent public order crimes by evaluating them, * Carrying out activities to prevent crime, * Preventing, pursuing and investigating smuggling, * External protection of [[Prisons in Turkey|penal institutions]] and detention centers. === Military duties === * To perform military services provided by law === Other duties === * These are duties other than judicial, military and civil duties, such as facility and personal protection and transport security, which must be carried out in accordance with laws and regulations, orders and decisions. ==Structure== [[File:Gendarme - Çankaya.jpg|thumb|Gendarmerie General Command Headquarters]] === Commands === Gendarmerie General Command Headquarters ([[Ankara]]) * Gendarmerie Security Corps Command ([[Van, Turkey]]) ** 23.
