With the disintegration of the Russian Empire, Romania annexed Bessarabia, a region on its eastern border, in 1918. The integration of the new region was implemented through a centralized process in which the security forces played a significant role. This article examines the beginnings of the Romanian police in Bessarabia, the main security force in its urban areas, focusing on the development of the police and its workforce. It presents a case study of one of the 14 police stations Romania opened there, focusing on the career of a former tsarist policeman and his various attempts to join the new police force. In this way, this study contributes to a better understanding of the role law enforcement played in building a homogenized Romanian nation-state, an issue that has been poorly researched. Relying on archival documents of the tsarist and Romanian administrations and building upon studies on police history which have tried to determine the degree of centralization of the new police systems, as well as using studies on post-imperial administrations that discuss the strategies the new states applied to integrate former imperial structures, I demonstrate that Romania built the police in Bessarabia from scratch and with the army's help. It selected its police workforce centrally and regarded loyalty as a key qualification. This was achieved not by selecting employees from among former tsarist civil servants or the local population, but by importing policemen from pre-1918 Romania. The beginnings of the Romanian police in Bessarabia reveal an institution in the making, conceived mostly as a career springboard for civil servants from other parts of the country, an institution that also sought to be independent from the army troops stationed there.

成为罗马尼亚人:前沙皇警察的转变 (1908–1925)
随着俄罗斯帝国的解体,罗马尼亚于 1918 年吞并了位于其东部边境的比萨拉比亚地区。新地区的整合是通过一个集中的过程实现的,安全部队在其中发挥了重要作用。本文研究了罗马尼亚警察在比萨拉比亚的起源,这是其城市地区的主要安全力量,重点关注警察及其劳动力的发展。它介绍了罗马尼亚在那里开设的 14 个警察局之一的案例研究,重点介绍了一位前沙皇警察的职业生涯以及他加入新警察部队的各种尝试。通过这种方式,这项研究有助于更好地理解执法部门在建立同质化的罗马尼亚民族国家中所发挥的作用,这是一个研究不足的问题。依靠沙皇和罗马尼亚政府的档案文件,并建立在试图确定新警察系统的集中程度的警察历史研究的基础上,以及利用对后帝国政府的研究,讨论新国家为整合前帝国结构而采用的策略,我证明了罗马尼亚在比萨拉比亚是从头开始并在军队的帮助下建立警察的。它集中选择警察工作人员,并将忠诚度视为一项关键资格。这不是通过从前沙皇公务员或当地居民中选择雇员来实现的,而是通过从 1918 年之前的罗马尼亚进口警察来实现的。罗马尼亚警察在比萨拉比亚的开端揭示了一个正在形成的机构,该机构主要被认为是该国其他地区公务员的职业跳板,该机构也寻求独立于驻扎在那里的军队。
