The National Gendarmerie (Εθνική Χωροφυλακή or simply Εθνική Χωροφυλακή) is the national gendarmerie of Romaia who primarily carry out domestic and foreign policing duties. It is one of Romaia's main law enforcement agencies, alongside the National Police. In contrast to the National Police, the Chorofylaki are a military force. As the sixth branch of the Romaian Armed Forces, they come under the authority of the Ministry of Defence; for activities related to inland public order and security, they functionally depend on the Ministry of the Interior. In practice, there is a significant overlap between the jurisdiction of the National Police and the Chorofylaki, although both of them are contactable through 112, the Single Emergency number. Unlike the National Police, the Chorofylaki have responsibility for policing the military, and a number of members regularly participate in military missions abroad.

It was originally founded as the police force of the Duchy of Constantinoupoli, the forerunner of Romaia. During the process of Romaian unification, the Chorofylaki was appointed as the "First Force" of the new national military organization.

Uniforms

The Gendarmerie uses uniforms that can be divided into three different "families", and hold strict rules that apply to the type of textile, colour and badge of the uniforms. These include: the Service Uniform, the Combat Uniform, and the Ceremonial Uniform (only for officers).
