State Forestry Corps
The State Forestry Corps (Italian: Corpo forestale dello Stato or CFS) was a national police agency in Italy. It was established on 15 October 1822 by Charles Felix of Sardinia as Amministrazione forestale per la custodia e la vigilanza dei boschi. The five Italian autonomous regions have their own corps of forestry police under regional or provincial control (Corpo forestale regionale/provinciale), which have not been disbanded. CFS was dissolved on December 31, 2016, and all personnel become militarized and absorbed by the Carabinieri Command of the Forest, Environmental and Agri-food units.
