Direction centrale des renseignements généraux

The Direction centrale des renseignements généraux (French pronunciation: [diʁɛksjɔ̃ sɑ̃tʁal de ʁɑ̃sɛɲmɑ̃ ʒeneʁo], lit. 'Central Directorate of General Intelligence'), often called Renseignements généraux (RG), was the intelligence service of the French National Police, answerable to the Direction générale de la Police nationale (DGPN), and, ultimately, the Ministry of the Interior. It was also in charge of the monitoring of gambling places and horse racing ranges.

On 1 July 2008, it was merged with the Direction de la surveillance du territoire into the new Direction centrale du renseignement intérieur.
