Abstract

The article discusses the activities of the chief bailiffs, a special significant group of police officers in the counties of the Russian Empire, including its northern outskirts. The main tasks of the bailiffs' professional activities were to maintain public order, comprehensive control over local residents subordinate to them, monitor the condition of roads and prevent epidemic diseases. As the socio-political life in the country became more complicated, the bailiffs were entrusted with the duty of monitoring the mood prevailing in the territories entrusted to them.
