| Summary: | After the abolition of the Janissary Corps, a police order consisting of 17 articles was accepted on March 20, 1845 to ensure public order and security in the capital and the provinces, and a police agency affiliated with the Tophane-i Amire Consultancy was established on April 10, 1845. In addition, a Zaptieh organization was established on February 15, 1846, independent of Bâb-ı Seraskerî. Until 1879, the period of “unity of Zaptieh” which was independent of the police and gendarmerie army, but controlled from the same center, occurred. During the reign of Abdulhamit II considerable improvements were made in both the number and education of the police, and the Police Ordinance was published in 1907. During the Second Constitutional period, the police organization wasrestructured, and a new Police Ordinance was published in 1913. In Urfa, which was originally connected to Aleppo, the police was part of the Aleppo police force. After Urfa became an independent sanjak on April 13, 1910, the Urfa Police Service was connected directly to the capital. |
