The Guàrdia Urbana (English: "Urban Guard") is the municipal police force for the city of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
History.
Originally it was formed in November 1843 as the "Municipal Guard". Although in 1907 it became the "Urban Guard".
Originally their police officers were armed with a sabre, pistol, and a rifle. Following Tragic Week events in 1909 the force was demilitarized, and officers are now armed with sidearms for personal defence.
During the early 20th century the force based their uniform types around that of the British Police uniform. The emergency contact number is 092.
