With this classification they had to be awarded the title of municipal police station. Until then there was only one city police station as a guard station manager at the corps as a result of the transport ban; moreover, as the second guard room manager there was still a staff guard. After the classification of the gendarmerie guards and their appointment as municipal police officers, they requested that they be appointed as guards of maximum rank also as guards' officers, on the grounds that they cannot be subordinated as ensigns to a staff guard. Of these four guards assigned by the Ministry of the Interior, a Ruthene with approximately one year of gendarmerie service, absolutely without knowledge of the regulations and unable to prepare the simplest criminal charges independently.
