Sažetak
The article discusses the activities, the restructuring and the functionality of territorial forces in Dalmatia during the period of the French administration between 1806–1809. Their role in maintaining peace and order was very significant and one of a kind. Maintaining certain traditional frameworks, Dandolo as the general of Dalmatia restructured them creating a very effective police force which was equally assigned throughout all the districts, counties and villages both on land and on the islands. On their patrols and doing the rounds of the villages they prevented various misdeeds such as robberies, murder, revenge and they broke up bands of highwaymen. Acting in such a manner they contributed to thwarting all kinds of criminal activity. This is why we can characterize the restructuring and the activities of the territorial forces as a positive and civilizing breakthrough which accompanied the French administration of Dalmatia.
