28. French GIGN

The French GIGN (National Gendarmerie Intervention Group) is a special operations group of the national police force, National Gendarmerie, and is considered to be an elite law enforcement group. Since they were formed in 1974, the GIGN have been deployed for situations such as counter-terrorism operations, hostage rescues and surveillance of national threats. They are allowed to operate anywhere in the world but mainly stay in France and have such a good rap sheet that they are said to be one of the most experienced counter-terrorism units in the world.
