Uniform ID needed, Slovenia

Kolar, Purkart
We've always referred to this man as "Uncle Frank." I believe his name was possibly Franz Purkart or Franz Kolar. Reportedly he was hit by a train and lost a leg but survived. The photo was taken in Krsko, in what is now Slovenia. This branch of my family is from Slovenia, I think from the region around Litija. I don't have a date - could be anywhere from 1890-1918 maybe?
Based on other posts here, the cap doesn't appear correct for the Austro-Hungarian military, but his collar has the stars. Any idea of where I can look to ID this uniform? Would he be a police officer or some other kind of official instead of military?

Gendarmerie. The helmet was introduced in 1899, so the photo is from that year or later.

the possibilities for present Slovenia-area:
12. Landesgendarmeriekommando
Stab: Laibach = Ljubljana
Kommandant.: Bohuslav Zirovnicky Edler von Ellibor, Obst.
Abteilungskommandos:
Nr. 1 Laibach = Ljubljana
Nr. 2 Laibach= Ljubljana
Nr. 3 Rudolfswert= Novo Mesto
Nr. 4 Gottschee = Kocevje
Nr. 5 Laibach= Ljubljana

the closest to Krško would have been then Novo Mesto, to Litija closest Ljubljana.

Ciao,
Tuo zio Frank era un gendarme austro-ungarico
La foto è sicuramente posteriore al 1902 e forse del periodo 1914-1918.
Era un vice-gendarme del comando 12 di Lubiana del 3 distaccamento di Rudolswert (...)
Lui forse si trovava al battaglione a Gurkfeld (Krsko).
Il nome che ho trovato è Franz Purkard nel 1914
La foto potrebbe essere del 1913-1914
saluti
Gianluca
Io faccio ricerche sulla gendarmeria austro-ungarica, mi piacerebbe avere la foto se possibile
