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.

[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] The national emergency telephone number, for the police is 112, for the Fire Brigade is 115, and for the Ambulance Service is 118.

Officers typically carry the Glock 17, and occasionally the Benelli M4 when patrolling.
