# The 1667 lieutenant-general of police (La Reynie) creates a dated urban lighting-and-order office under the king

Date: 1667

## The fact

In 1667 Louis XIV created the lieutenant-general of police, first held by La Reynie, including a dated lighting-and-order programme for Paris. The instrument is that urban office, not the black chamber as a duplicate. Louis XIV of France's documented role is: He created the office. La Reynie held it. Lighting and street order are the public goods; lettres de cachet remain the justice cost twin, not mixed here.

## Context

La Reynie is the named first lieutenant. Sharing unnamed watchmen is required. The setting of The 1667 lieutenant-general of police (La Reynie) creates a dated urban lighting-and-order office under the king is the public file around 1667-03-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [social-cohesion](/drivers/social-cohesion) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Shared responsibility is part of The 1667 lieutenant-general of police (La Reynie) creates a dated urban lighting-and-order office under the king. Naming Louis XIV of France does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1667-03-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
