The article traces the development of law-enforcement bodies, from city guards in ancient civilizations—such as the Medjay in Egypt and the *ʿasas* in Arab-Islamic history—to the modern police. In Russia, the establishment of a police service dates back to Peter the Great’s reign in 1715. A decree establishing the “Workers’ Militia” was issued on November 10, 1917, and since 1962 that date has been an official holiday for employees of the internal affairs bodies. The modern concept of policing defines its role as enforcing the law, protecting lives, rights, and property, and preventing crime, while holding the police accountable to the public. Digital technologies have broadened the tools available to police, but have also raised concerns about privacy and surveillance, alongside the challenges posed by cybercrime.
