History
The history of Peru's Police dates back to the time of the Incas, but it is in the Republican era in which the police began to define itself as an institution with a mission and functions.
The first police force appear to be part of the Armed Forces, in the period 1825 to 1839. The watchmen and guards are at this stage in charge of police functions.
