The Judicial police (Police judiciaire; abbreviated PJ), is the criminal investigation division of the Police nationale.
36 quai des Orfèvres is often erroneously believed to be the address of the Central Directorate of the Judicial Police, the national authority of the criminal police, which is actually located at 11 rue des Saussaies, in the buildings of the Ministry of the Interior.
