Kazan Police

The Kazan municipal police was established in 1977, as part of the executive council of Kazan city, while the MVD remains as a supportive body. The police have been re-organised multiple times. On 1991 several departments were formed, the Economic Crimes Department and the Department against Organised Crime. In recent years the police have been criticized for brutality levels. Following the death of a detained man, the police chief was replaced; Valery Krasilnikov was appointed in place of Alexey Selivanovskiy as the Head of Kazan's Police. In July 2013 the police took part along with FSB in the security arrangements for the 2013 Summer Universiade, the biggest sports event in Russia since the 1980 Summer Olympics. ==Chief of Kazan Police==
