The Principality of Monaco is a recognised haven of peace. To guarantee this quality of life, almost 600 officers of the Police Department and more than 1000 video surveillance cameras contribute to this essential facet of common life. A constant presence on the ground, and close contact with the population, enable optimum security levels to be maintained which are never intrusive, guaranteeing respect for persons and property.
The police officers, recognised for their availibility and effectiveness, carry out various duties:
- Maintain a high level of security in the territory thanks to an appropriate and effective presence on the ground: see the role of the Urban Policing Division
