The Local Police (Polizia Locale, Polizia locale di Milano) was officially founded on October 4, 1860 (to 1920) as the Urban Public Surveillance (Pubblica Sorveglianza Urbana).
Over time it changed its name several times: from Traffic Police (Vigili Urbani) to Municipal Police (Polizia Municipale), up to the current Local Police (Polizia Locale).
From 1920 to 1959 Metropolitan Public Security Corps (Corpo metropolitano di pubblica sicurezza), from 1959 to 1979 Urban Surveillance Corps (Corpo di vigilanza urbana), from 1979 to 2003 Milan Local Police Corps (Corpo di polizia locale di Milano).
Their main duty is traffic control and responsibilities relating to licenses and urban regulations.
The municipal police also serve as auxiliaries to security police forces and have responsibilities for local crime prevention and community policing.
The jurisdiction of municipal police is limited to their specific municipality.
