Police of the Stavropol Province of the Russian Empire in the Second Half of the XIX Century

In 2018, the 300th anniversary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia will be celebrated. This date was the reason for the presented small historical and legal research on the role and importance of the Ministry of Internal Affairs as one of the fundamental ground of the system of state power in Russia, which it was in the pre-revolutionary period. The authors tried not only to fix names, dates, achievements and successes. This is not only history and chronicle, it is also an expression of our gratitude to people who lived to ensure that Russians feel safe in their country. The main discovery for authors in working with archival documents and periodical publications was that fundamental, core values, goals and tasks of law enforcement service remained unchanged for three centuries.
