The first written reference to an armed force under the protection of the city council named Alguacil dates back to 1202.

For instance, in 1759 Charles III established the Milicia Urbana (English: urban militia), whose membership was made up of war veterans who could no longer serve in the army.

This new police force replaced the Alguacil in performing security services and fell under the jurisdiction of the city council.

[citation needed] By this time the new body began to take shape and new units were created, like the Mounted Section in 1893 and Coach Service in 1914 that regulated traffic cab drivers and the first cars circulating in the municipality.

[citation needed] In 1924 the Organic Regulations of Municipal Police were created, which set out the duties and obligations of the members of the agency.

Two years before the Spanish Civil War that ravaged the country, the municipal police force continued to grow and make the body section of Drivers in 1934.

[citation needed] A year after the civil war in 1940, the agency further expanded its forces by creating the Brigade Movement.

The police powers were regulated in Article 104, which details the protection of the free exercise of citizens' rights and freedoms and ensuring public safety.

The district units are primarily responsible for monitoring public spaces, preventing criminal acts, and carry out the duties of administrative policing and regulating the movement, with the assistance of mobility agents.

The head of the Municipal Police Force is vested in its Chief Inspector and Inspections is organized, sub-inspectorates and Units.
