In Italy, municipal police (Italian: polizia municipale) are responsible to the mayors of the various municipalities of Italy.
Some municipal police forces in Italy trace historical origins to the vigili urbani and comes stabili of ancient Rome. Italian municipal forces go by various names, such as polizia communa (comune police), policia urbana (urban police), and polizia locale (local police). Prior to the 1990s, municipal policing in Italy has a marginal role and was viewed as low-level; since that time, the strength and reputation of the municipal policy has been enhanced, particularly in central and northern Italy.
