Sûreté (French for "surety" but is usually translated as "safety" or "security"[1]) is a term used in French speaking countries or regions in the organizational title of a civil police force, especially the detective branch thereof.
France
The former title of the French National Police was La Sûreté Nationale. It served initially as the criminal investigative bureau of the Paris police and did not function as the national command and control organization until much later by which time it no longer had any detectives on its staff.
Both the PP of Paris's own Brigade Criminelle and the Direction centrale de la police judiciaire directly trace their history to the Sûreté.
