Abstract: The article examines the legal norms that make up the third section of the draft Police Charter, which since 1906 has been developed by members of the commission under the leadership of Senator A.A. Makarova. The main attention of this chapter was focused on the activities of the police of the Russian Empire to ensure public order and prevent harm to the life and health of citizens during various entertainment and entertainment events. Costly events to organize included theatrical and circus performances, folk games and festivities, concerts, balls and masquerades, fireworks, horse racing and horse racing. Procedures for the issuance by governors, mayors, and chiefs of local police of certificates authorizing their implementation. Based on the provisions of the charter and other legislative acts, the article provides a list of subjects who did not have the right to receive certificates, designates a set of rights and responsibilities of police officials for organizational and legal preparation, conduct, closure of designated events, drawing up, if necessary, police reports. Attention is focused on respecting the rights of organizers and citizens who paid money to purchase entertainment tickets. Legal measures are outlined to prohibit gambling, manufacturing, alteration, and washing of cards for the purpose of sale, as well as the sale of foreign cards, cards with counterfeit stamps, torn parcels. The text assigns the role of the police in the organization and conduct of lotteries, and in particular such a variety as the allegri lottery, in ensuring public order when playing on betting during horse racing. The author shows how the developers of the draft Charter, relying on the norms of legislation of the Russian Empire that existed at that time, observed the principle of continuity in the formation of new legal norms, and used foreign experience.
