The European Gendarmerie Force
@Eurogendfor
EUROGENDFOR is a Multinational Police Force, born to participate to the stabilisation of crisis and conflict areas outside the European Union.
The European Gendarmerie Force, composed of Gendarmeries and not of Police forces, was and is engaged only outside the borders of the European Union. This is our official LOGO

The entire #EUROGENDFOR family wants to extend heartfelt thanks to Colonel Hans VROEGH for his exceptional leadership, dedication, and unwavering commitment. Working under your leadership has been an incredibly enriching experience. Wishing you continued success and happiness.




The Commander of #EUROGENDFOR Col. Pawel Grajek warmly welcomed Lieutenant Col. Bruno Baracas from @GNRepublicana. We wish you all the best in your new position as Intelligence Head of Division. Congratulations and good luck on this exciting chapter of your career! #LexPaciferat

🇹🇷 15 July marks Democracy and National Unity Day in #Türkiye. #EUROGENDFOR acknowledges this National Day, which serves as a reminder of the enduring importance of unity and democratic principles. #15Temmuz #Lexpaciferat @jandarma

On 14 July 1789, the Bastille fell and with it, the idea that power stands above the people. Today, 🇫🇷 National Day reminds us that liberty and justice must be defended, not presumed. #EUROGENDFOR stands for those values. Bonne Fête Nationale. #14juillet #Lexpaciferat
