The Vatican Security Forces (Vatican Police) are called, in Italian, Corpo della Gendarmeria dello Stato della Città del Vaticano. They are not to be confused with the Swiss Guard who act as body guards for the Pope.
The Vatican Police are responsible for the general security of the Vatican. The Swiss Guard protects the pope.
The security of the pope is the responsibility of the Swiss Guard. For other matters of security the Vatican has its own police force.
They are called Security Forces personnel, but are commonly referred to as Security Police or SPs.
In the past the Vatican did have an army. In 1970 Pope Paul VI abolished all the military bodies at his service except the Swiss Guards, the Gendarmerie was transformed into a Central Security Office, with the duties of protecting the Pope, defending Vatican City, and providing police and security services within its territory. Its name was changed in 1991 to Security Corps of Vatican City State and in 2002 to Gendarmerie Corps of Vatican City State.
The motto of Internal Security Forces is 'Security for the Nation and Civilians'.
The Vatican uses the Euro.
Data security refers to the process of guarding data such as database from damaging forces and unwanted activities of unauthorized users. This is also called as information security.
The Swiss Guard defends the Vatican. They are not simply a bunch of guys dressed up in medieval costumes for the benefit of tourists---they are a highly trained security force. Among their duties are guarding Vatican personnel and guarding the treasures in the Vatican museums. The electronic security and the humidity control in the museums are their responsibility.
The Vatican Police - Corpo della Gendarmeria dello Stato della CittÃ? del Vaticano - are charged with maintaining security and law and order in the Vatican.
