Zaptie
Zaptié was the designation given to locally raised gendarmerie units in the Italian colonies of Tripolitania, Cyrenaica, Eritrea and Somalia between 1889 and 1942. The word "Zaptié" was derived from Turkish and the same title was given to mounted police recruited from the Turkish community in Cyprus during the period of British rule.
