Differences in Function '

-- I would be interested if somebody could explain the functional differences between the Polizia di Stato and the Carabinieri. I understand that one is civilian and the other is military but they both patrol and investigate crime in the civil sector. Are there some things that one force does that the other doesn't? Perhaps, also, to report a crime or problem, how do you decide which agency to go to?

Carabinieri, because are military, can operate in war and in mission in another country, the Polizia di Stato can't. The rules in Carabinieri are stricter than in Polizia. Carabinieri are diffuser in village than Polizia (for example, in a big province there are thirty or fourty Carabinieri's station and only four or five Polizia's station). Carabnieri work when people call emergency number 112; Polizia work when people call the number 113. Usually Polizia work in road accident, in computer crimes, in train surveillance (there is Polizia Ferroviaria; Railway Police), in investigation about fascist or communist or another terrorism, in investigation about Mafia and in special operation (ROS Reparto Operativo Speciale, who is the special force for kidnapping, etc.). Usually Carabinieri work in homicide (because 112 in called more than 113), in illegal food or drink modification and in territory control (in the little village or province there are only Carabinieri). For scientific investigation there are the Polizia Scientifica (Scientific Police) for Polizia who work in "simple" investigation and R.I.S. (Reparto Investigazioni Scientifiche; Division for scientific investigation, litteral translation) for Carabinieri who work in "hard" investigation. For the most violent and for serial-killer there is the U.A.C.V.(Unione di Vigilanza AntiCrimine), who dipend by Polizia. For the public order there are normal men of Polizia and Carabinieri and there is a special division, the Reparto Celere (Fast Division, litteral translation), for the big event and for the very violent protests.
