Why was the police station called the patrol room during the Republic of China?

The police patrol room is an office set up by the imperialists in Shanghai and other concessions to suppress the people of China in the old society, but the police station in the Republic of China was not called the police patrol room.

1905, the Qing government set up a patrol inspection department in imitation of the western system, and there was a formal patrol inspection department within the jurisdiction of the Qing government. During the Republic of China, it was renamed the police, but the police in the concession area were still called patrol officers. It was not until the concession was recovered after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War that the title of Governor officially disappeared in the history of China.

For example, during the Nanjing National Government, the Ministry of Internal Affairs was changed to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the police department was in charge of police affairs. Shi Jing Police Department was reorganized into Beiping Special City Public Security Bureau. Later, with the change of Beijing's identity name, the name of the Public Security Bureau was changed to Beiping Public Security Bureau. To 1937, changed its name to Beiping Special City Police Station.

Development of patrol:

Strictly speaking, there was no special police system in ancient China. The first time China people saw the image of modern police was patrolling the concession in the late Qing Dynasty. At the beginning of the establishment of Gong * * Concession, only a few China bellmen were hired, playing bamboo newspapers every night and patrolling the police.

1In July, 854, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology immediately decided to "maintain the order and cleanliness of the concession", set up an inspection room, openly recruited inspectors, and hired Clifton, a senior Hong Kong police officer, as an inspector to lead this new organization. The first patrol of the concession has 32 people, including Clifton, deputy inspector Masigen and 29 ordinary policemen. The monthly salary varies from 30 yuan to 150 yuan according to the grade.

With the continuous expansion of the concession, the number of patrols is also increasing. By 1935, there were 13 patrol stations, including the Central Police Office (now located in Shanghai Public Security Bureau) and the Old Gate Police Office (now located in Shanghai Commercial Vocational School), with more than 6,000 patrol personnel. In the early days, all patrols were carried out by the British in the west. After 1865, people from China, Indians, Japanese and Russians caught it, with China catching the most.
