MARIA I] POLÍCIA E ORDEM PÚBLICA — Intendente Geral, Vadiagem e Cadeias . 5 diplomas régios; Portugal, 1755–c. 1780; Lisboa. A collection of five decrees concerning the creation and operation of the public police system in Lisbon and the Kingdom. The creation of the General Superintendent of Police of the Court and Kingdom in 1760 was one of the most significant institutional innovations of the Pombaline period, establishing for the first time a national police force with jurisdiction over public order, vagrancy, prisons, and road safety. 4 Nov 1755 (D. José I) — Two decrees on idleness and vagrancy in Lisbon: orders verbal proceedings and immediate execution by the Duke Regent of the Court of Appeals; emergency response to urban disorder in the aftermath of the earthquake. June 25, 1760 (King Joseph I) — Establishes the Police and Public Peace of the Court and the Kingdom; creation of the General Superintendent with exclusive and broad jurisdiction; founding decree of the modern police force in Portugal. February 8, 1758 (King José I) — He decrees that, given the break-in at the Limoeiro Prison by convicts who commit crimes on the roads and in the wilderness of Alentejo, all Ministers should take steps to capture them; a public security measure in the context of a crisis. February 22, 1771 (King Joseph I) — Transfers the responsibility for monthly prison visits, previously held by the Regent of the Court of Appeals, to the General Superintendent of Police of the Court and Kingdom; consolidation of the Superintendent's powers. c. 1780 (D. Maria I) — New form for the Kingdoms' Police for the benefit of public tranquility; revokes the decree of February 5, 1771; the Regent of the Court of Appeals resumes some of his previous functions. The collection documents the creation and early development of the police institution in Portugal: the establishment of the General Superintendent as the central figure of public security, the transfer of powers between magistracies, and the adjustments to the system in the years following its creation. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
