- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Siguranţă (Romanian for “security”) was the secret political police of the Kingdom of Romania, charged mainly with suppressing opposition political parties and organisations. Siguranţă entities, in the form of special centres in cities and stations in nearby villages, were organised in Bessarabia in February 1918 upon this region’s annexation to Romania. In July 1918 they were reorganised as brigades, which in administrative terms were under the jurisdiction of prefects, and with regard to political investigations answered to the Chișinău [Kishinev] Siguranţă Inspectorate. In a reform of Romania’s police system in July 1929, these entities were merged to form county police administrations and municipal police commissariats, which were in operation until June 1940, when they were dissolved in connection with the USSR’s annexation of Bessarabia.
