Division 58 is the dedicated gendarmery special forces unit deployed in high-risk, high-profile situations.
Since officers are on call at all times, it is not rare to see them rolling up at a scene in civilian clothes.
The Division also encompasses specialist units trained to intervene in the most diverse situations.
Though not their primary role, the personnel can be employed for crowd control duties if the need arises.
Divers are instrumental in recovering evidence from underwater and are also employed in tactical roles*.
The Division is also deployed abroad, where it is tasked with protecting embassies and consulates.
