 In 1776, "Kungliga Poliskammaren" (literally "The Royal Police Chamber)" was established with its headquarters located within the Tessin Palace.The Police Chamber was to be overseen by the Governor of Stockholm and was tasked with issuing city regulations and laws regarding public order, as well as handling petty crime court cases.At the end of the 1700s, cases of deadly violence were considered rare in Stockholm, and the ratio of murder and manslaughter cases per citizen was just 2 per 100 000 annually.
