Summary/Abstract: The article presents some data about the tendency to appoint district police officers not of local origin, which was exhibited by the Russian imperial authorities in the first years after the annexation of Bessarabia. These appointees were not aware of any local customs or the Romanian language, which worsened the relations between them and the appropriate Romanian officials and limited opportunities for contact with the local population.
