National Police Intervention Groups

National Police Intervention Groups (GIPN) (French: Groupes d'Intervention de la Police Nationale) are regional tactical units of the French National Police located in the French overseas departments and territories. Their motto is "La cohésion fait la force" or "Cohesion brings strength." From 1972 to 2015, the designation was also used for units based in large cities in metropolitan France. In 2015, the metropolitan GIPNs were integrated into RAID, the National Police's crisis response unit and officially became known as "Regional RAID branches" (French: antennes RAID).
