History
The police force in Kuban and Yekaterinodar City was established on May 6, 1801. On 1867, Yekaterinodat was announced as a city, and the police force became a municipal police force (городское полицейское управление) under the command of Ivan Petin.
In March 1917, the police force was renamed Militsiya, under the supervision of Nikolai Simanovich. In March 1918, the municipal city was merged into the Krasnodar Krai Police. During the Russian civil war, the city was headed by several different groups including the White monarchists and finally the Red Army.
In 1920, while R. Shipulin was the Chief of Police, the municipal police was divided into five municipal departments. During the pre-World War IIyears, the city suffered from a high level of crime; and in 1936, the police was divided into three regional police departments.
