It was reorganized on March 1, 2011, under the Russian Federation, except for existing structures not related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In 1504, defensive obstacles called cheval de frise were installed in Moscow, under which guards drawn from the local population were stationed.

By this decree, in the White City (now known as Belgorod), a team was to be created under the leadership of Ivan Novikov and podyachy Vikula Panov.

[4] To aid him in completing work, the Chief Police Office was created and one army regiment was transferred to the authority of the General Polizeimeister.

On April 23, 1733, Empress Anna signed a decree that gave the police legal powers, and allowed them the right to impose penalties in criminal cases.

In 1866, St. Petersburg Chief of Police Fyodor Trepov sent a note to Alexander II, which said: "A significant gap in the institution of the metropolitan police was the absence of a special part with the special purpose of conducting research for solving crimes, finding general measures to prevent and suppress crimes.

For the first time in the Russian police, specialized units for solving crimes and conducting inquiries were created in St. Petersburg.

On August 9, 1910, the Minister of Internal Affairs Pyotr Stolypin issued an instruction to the officers of the detective departments, which determined their tasks and structure.

Each detective department consisted of four structural divisional desks: personal detention, searches, observations, and the information registration office.

At the International Congress of Criminalists, held in Switzerland in 1913, the Russian detective police were recognized as the best in the world in solving crimes.

[citation needed] The then 3,500-strong police force of Petrograd provided the main opposition to the rioting, which marked the initial outbreak of the February Revolution.

The Police of the Russian Empire was dissolved on March 10, 1917, and on April 17, the Provisional Government established the People's Militia (Militsiya) as a new law enforcement body.

Following decisions of the Provisional Government "On the approval of the militsiya" and "Temporary regulations on the police", issued on April 17, 1917, the "people's militia" was established.

The people's militia was declared to be the executive body of state power at the local level, directly under the jurisdiction of the zemstvo and city public administrations.

The principle of self-organization of the forces of law and order was implemented by the Bolshevik Party for some time after October 1917.

The workers' militsiya bore the character of mass amateur organizations, and was formed on the basis of voluntary squads, so it could not stop the rampant crime.

Under the reform, the name of Russian law enforcers was changed from the Soviet-era term "militsiya" (militia) to the more universal "politsiya" (police) on March 1, 2011.

As a result of the reform, the Russian police was centralized as a federal-level institution, with funding fully sourced from the federal budget.

As a result, the draft law, in comparison with the initial form, underwent significant changes related to the powers of the new structure.

[9] Despite criticism from certain segments of society and a number of opposition political parties, the draft law was adopted in the first reading on December 10, 2010.

The State Duma on Friday, January 28, 2011, adopted the draft law "On police" in the final third reading.

[10] It was originally planned that the new law would come into force in January 2011, but the police in Russia officially revived on March 1, 2011.

The insignia of special distinction of the officers of the operational regiments of the Russian police is a black beret.

Russian police use a number of different models of automobiles which range greatly in age and technical specification.
