- Administrative/biographical history:
- The office of captain of the Admiralty precinct first became part of the staff of the Nikolaev Municipal Police in 1806. A staff list of 1846 metions captains of the Admiralty, Odessa, and Moscow police precincts. The Admiralty precinct was divided into first and second precincts in 1854. The Port police precinct and the office of captain thereof were presumably established in the mid-1860s in connection with the opening of the Nikolaev port to foreign trade. Police precinct captains were appointed by the Nikolaev police chief, to whom they answered directly; and their appointment was subject to the approval of the military governor (from 1900, of the city prefect) and Ministry of Internal Affairs. Precinct captains had jurisdiction over lower police ranks (neighbourhood wardens, constables, and policemen). The institution of police precinct captain was liquidated in March 1917.
