Description

The dissolution file of the Cos d’Esquadres de Barcelona and its reorganization according to the Royal Decree of 14 August 1930 is a key document to understand the institutional evolution of the Cos de Mossos d’Esquadra. At a time of political transition, this document reflects the will to reform and modernize the security forces, adapting them to the new needs of governance. The documentary fund to which it belongs is essential for reconstructing the history of public security in Catalonia and its relationship with state structures. It is part of the themes of politics, governance and collective services, and shows how Catalonia participated in the European debates on the professionalization and reorganization of police forces.
