	Royal Irish Constabulary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Royal Irish Constabulary (RIC) was one of Ireland's two police forces in the early twentieth century, alongside the Dublin Metropolitan Police.
		The Royal Irish Constabulary presided over a marked decline in crime in the country with the rural unrest of the early nineteenth century and its secret organizations and crimes such as unlawful armed assembly being succeeded by public drunkenness and minor property crimes (excluding the Land War of 1879-82).
		In January 1922 it was agreed to disband the RIC, replacing it with the Garda Síochána in the Free State and the Royal Ulster Constabulary in Northern Ireland.

	Royal Ulster Constabulary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		To Irish nationalists, the RUC was seen as the security arm of a state that lacked legitimacy and to which they refused to give their allegiance.
		Like the RIC, and in contrast to Great Britain and the rest of Ireland, all members of the new force were armed and wore a dark green uniform as opposed to the dark blue worn by the British police and the Garda Síochána.
		The chief officer of the Royal Irish Constabulary was its Inspector-General (the last of whom, Sir Thomas J. Smith served from 11 March 1920 until partition in 1922).

	Royal Irish Constabulary
		The constabulary in Ireland served as a model for the establishment of a policing system in the rest of the British Isles, and ultimately even further afield in the developing colonies of the Empire.
		One of the most significant developments in the history of the constabulary during the 19th century was its redesignation as the Royal Irish Constabulary, making it the first 'Royal' police force in the British Empire.
		Indeed the dominant image of the R.I.C. for many people often stems from its responsibility to give protection to bailiffs executing distress warrants and evicting tenants, an unpleasant duty that was greatly disliked by members of the force (most of whom were themselves from a rural background).
