Law enforcement in Monaco is provided by an armed national police. It  has the largest police force and police presence in the world on both a per-capita and per-area basis. Its police includes a specialist unit which operates patrol and surveillance boats. There is also a militarised bodyguard unit for the Prince and his palace called the Compagnie des Carabiniers du Prince, well-equipped with modern weapons. There is also a well-trained Corps des Sapeurs-Pompiers, which provides an extensive civil defence service in support of law enforcement, in addition to its fire and rescue services. A member of INTERPOL, Monaco enjoys the world's lowest crime rates.
