The Police Band Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia is the official police band service of the Police of Russia, a directly reporting agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The PBS-MIA-RF serves as the primary ceremonial music component of the Russian Police, which provides bands for each of the regional and city police departments that compose this institution, together with its educational and training establishments.
History and activities
[edit]The present-day Police Band Service is the heir and successor of the bands of the Imperial Police Department of Russia and traces its origins to 1918 when the bands of the Militsiya were founded by order of the then People's Commissar for Internal Affairs of the Russian SFSR, Grigory Petrovsky, who envisioned the Militsiya as a paramilitary people's national police mandated to protect the law and public security in the young republic and the bands stated to be the primary musical unit for ceremonial activities involving the service and thus were to be modeled primarily on the military bands of the then Red Army and the Soviet Navy. In January 2009, Minister Rashid Nurgaliyev approved an order which allowed pupils of music schools to join military band in the MVD.[3] The present form of the bands was assumed in 2011 as part of the Russian police reform, which brought the police services in line with those of other countries in the world.[4]
Currently, the police bands of the MVD take part in similar events that are conducted by the bands of the armed forces. The municipal bands commonly take part in the funeral ceremonies of police officers at the police departments.[5] Its personnel are made up of sworn officers and agents who are trained in both military and civil music schools and conservatories.
