Russian police

Здравствуйте!
When reading the news in Russian I've noticed that now the police is called полиция and not милиция like before. Do you know when the name was changed and why?
До свидания! Спасибо за ответ!

Hi,
in Imprerial Russia we had police. The bolsheviks renamed it as militsia. Now the original name is restored))
