Abstract
The paper endeavours to outline biographical fragments and fathom the character of Josip Vragović (1886–1965), a long-time employee and director of the Zagreb police in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and Independent State of Croatia. The paper also shows the structure of the interwar Zagreb police and Vragović’s closest associates. Particular emphasis is put on Vragović’s professional activity in the period of turbulent social and political conditions in 1918, 1941, and 1945, and some light is shed on his private life (as much as possible through available archival sources).
