The Central Directorate of the Judicial Police (DCPJ) is a directorate of the National Police of France, founded in 1907. The first national judicial police was created by Georges Clemenceau and Celestin Hennion to deal with the new large gangs acting on broader areas and using cars and railways to move (outmaneuvering the horse and bicycle-riding, and jurisdictionally-limited, local police). The 12 brigades of mobile police, numbering some 500 men, were nicknamed the "Tiger Brigades" after Clemenceau's nickname "the Tiger", and the Tiger Brigades cracked down on the Bonnot Gang and other Milieu organizations during the pre-World War I era and beyond. In reference to its early years, the DCPJ's logo features the silhouettes of both Clemenceau and a tiger.
