The Gendarmerie ( French) or Rijkswacht (Dutch) was the former national Gendarmerie force of the Kingdom of Belgium.

Pre-independence In 1795, the Belgian provinces came under French rule. It was at this time that the Rijkswacht/Gendarmerie was created. This military force had been created a short time before in France itself to replace the '' Marechaussee'' (mounted corps of marshals) of the former monarchy. The legislation which organised the new gendarmerie service in Belgium was a law dated April 17, 1798, which remained in force until 1957. In 1815, the Belgian provinces ...

The current commander is General Nouredine Gouasmia, who succeeded General Abderrahmane Arar in 2020. Duties The gendarmerie is responsible for maintain ...
