Grand Ducal Police
The Grand Ducal Police (Luxembourgish: Groussherzoglech Police, German: Großherzogliche Polizei) is the national police force of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The police is under the control of the Minister for the Interior of Luxembourg, although they operate in the name, and under the ultimate control, of the Grand Duke of Luxembourg. Day-to-day executive control is exercised by the Director-General of the Grand Ducal Police. The Grand Ducal Police has existed in its current form since 1 January 2000, when the Grand Ducal Gendarmerie was merged with the police service.

The Grand Ducal Police is responsible for ensuring the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg's internal security, maintaining law and order, border control and enforcing all laws and Grand Ducal decrees. It is also responsible for assisting the Military of Luxembourg in its internal operations, as prescribed by the Grand Duke of Luxembourg.
Emergencies[edit]
It is either the CISs or the CIPs that one would contact in the event of an emergency, as they are the only police stations which are continuously open. The emergency telephone number for the police is 113, instead of 112, like the other emergency services.
