Abstract: This article examines policing in Malta before 1814, when law enforcement powers were fragmented among various officials, often leading toconflicts. Proclamation XXII of 1814, promulgated by Governor Thomas Maitland, introduced a structured police force, addressing these inefficiencies and laying the foundation for modern policing in Malta. Beyond law enforcement, the Proclamation also served as a catalyst for broader legal reforms, reinforcing judicial independence and the presumption of innocence - principles that would later shape the Maltese Criminal Code.
