The Civil Police (Italian: Corpo di Polizia Civile) founded on January 1, 1945, is one of the law enforcement organisations in San Marino,[3][4] who police one of the smallest,[5] but perhaps one of the safest countries in the world.[6] San Marino's low population and low crime rates combine to make it the least incarcerated country in the world - as recently as 2011, only one prisoner was incarcerated in the entire nation.[7] The Secretary of State of Home Affairs controls the Civil Police, who are responsible for tax collection, domestic security, traffic control, and civil defence.[3] Currently there are around 50 police officers and civilian employees serving in the Civil Police, according to a report by the Government of San Marino.[2][8] The Civil Police are required by statute to cooperate with two military units, the Gendarmerie and the Fortress Guard, who are responsible (from new regulations passed in 2008) for policing, criminal investigation, national penitentiary, changing the guard, border patrol, customs control, personal protection, and national security.[3]
