Okay, I'm working on a project for a creative writing class. Story takes place in both Spain and France.
With regard to Paris, France...what do the police call themselves? I've tried to look it up and keep finding an organization called "Prefecture of Police." But is that how they actually introduce themselves?
Here in the US, a police officer will say something like "Detective Smith, New York Police Department."
If it was a cop in Paris, would they say, "Detective DuBois, Paris Prefecture of Police"?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
