The municipal police of Switzerland are a series of separate forces maintained by the municipalities of each canton. There are between 100[1] and 300[2] municipal police forces. Most of these forces are responsible for general law and order and parking enforcement only.[3] In some larger cities, the municipal police also carry out traffic control and in Zurich, Winterthur and Lausanne they provide a full policing service.[3] Municipal police forces send their recruits to the same regional police academies as the cantons do.[3] For advanced training, the municipalities send their officers to the courses of the Swiss Police Institute.[3]
