> A bit of trivia, which makes the title actually wrong: it's "Gendarmerie Nationale" (which is a military corps, handled by "Ministère de la Défense" ~ DoD), not "Police Nationale" (which is not a military corps, under "Ministère de l'Intérieur" ~ DoHS).
Well, since 2009, the Gendarmerie receives its budget and orders from the Ministère de l'Intérieur. It's not a police force stricto sensu, but their missions are those of a police force.
