Biografia twórcy
Police forces had been operating under the supervision of the municipal authorities before 1920, when the Hungarian Royal State Police was established (Act I of 1920, Governmental Decree no. 5047/1919). Police was the law enforcement agency to maintain order and persecute crime in the urban areas (cities and towns) of Hungary. Police Department of Vác was created in 1920 and was supervised by the Budapest District Superintendent of Police until 1932 and the Provincial Superintendent of Police between 1932 and 1944.
Dzieje zespołu
The records of the Police Department were evacuated from Vác in October-November 1944, when the front was approaching. The pre-1944 parts of the collection were most likely destroyed deliberately before evacuation. Only the index of 1942 survived, which went missing later in the archives. After the war, the records were taken back to Vác and in the early 1950s they were taken to the Pest County State Archives. The fond reached its present form in 1981.
