The Civil Guard Primer was published in December 1845, during the reign of Isabel II. Drafted by the founder of the corps, the Duke of Ahumada, it has served as a service guide and deontological code for all its members. Originally known as the “road booklet”, a copy is delivered to every civil guard, who is obliged to know all its articles by heart and to comply with them.
The articles include aspects such as the moral and behavioral principles that a civil guard must respect, as well as more specific questions of services related to fishing, hunting, weapons, gambling, driving prisoners, caring for the mountains. and groves, among many other aspects.
The Booklet also includes models of the action forms as a procedural practicum, which is why it is considered the first systematized guide to police actions.
