The neighbourhood policeman. At the centre of the police organization of cities in ancient France Municipal police forces have existed in French cities since the Middle Ages. The «dizeniers» in Toulouse or the «street constables» in Bordeaux were recruited from among local inhabitants, in the upper layers of the working classes. These officers, locally omnipresent, were at one and the same time informers to the government and its armed forces and, above all, arbitrators in everyday disputes. Although community police forces were phased out after the Revolution, they survived in some cities, such as the dizeniers or municipal magistrates in Toulouse up until 1934
