General inspection of the national police force
the IGS/IGPN
The “police force of the police forces” is current name for I.G.P.N. (General inspection of the National police force) and I.G.S. (General inspection of the Services), these two services were officially amalgamated by Charles Pasqua, Minister of Interior Department, by a decree dated October 31st, 1986. But they function in fact in an independent way. The inspectors of these services are also called in the police jargon the " oxen-carottes".
These two services with different territorial competences (police headquarter of Paris, for the I.G.S and all the remainder of the territory for I.G.P.N) are in charge of the administrative control and disciplinary of the activity of the services of the national police force (RG and excluded DST). One can say however that the director of the I.G.S, named by the prefect of police of Paris, which itself is named by the Minister of Interior Department, is the most important station of both, since it takes over temporarily the duties of the direction of the I.G.P.N, in the event of vacancy of this station, whereas the reverse is not true.
The IGS/IGPN has a role of audit of the police activity, as well as a role of investigation within the framework of the disciplinary businesses which concern the national police force. A long time, I.G.S.A. perceived like more disciplinary that the I.G.P.N, which tended to specialize in the audits. But, these last years, the activity of the two organizations was equalized, in particular with the creation of two regional delegations of discipline in Marseilles and Lyon, for the I.G.P.N, and the centring of the I.G.S towards activities of administrative control.
One and the other of these inspections is attached to the direction of the general inspection of the national police force, itself attached to the ministry for the Interior. There exists also I.T.G.N. (Technical Inspection of the National police) which fulfills an identical role for the Gendarmerie and which is attached to the ministry for Defense.
They are called by the other police officers as being the ox-carrots , nickname given for their reputation “to cook” a long time the people questioned by their services.
