The Direction Centrale de la Police Judiciaire (DCPJ) is the national authority of the criminal division of the French National Police. Its function is to lead and coordinate the action of the law enforcement forces (Police Nationale and Gendarmerie Nationale) against organised crime (either criminal or financial activities) with the collaboration of other institutions (Customs, Revenue Service).
The DCPJ is often erroneously called "36 quai des Orfèvres", which is the address of the Direction Régionale de Police Judiciaire de Paris ; the DCPJ is actually located at 11, rue des Saussaies, in Paris.
