Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the most frequent disciplinary problems of Czechoslovak gendarmerie officers and the ways of their solution. The research focuses on the period of twenties when it is possible to frequently meet the cases of officers’ unbecoming behaviour, primarily in the relationship towards subordinates. The political and national thoughts of concrete individuals as well as their behaviour have often become the subject of investigation before 1918; however accusations in such cases have appeared to be proofless or inconclusive. Economic activities of officers have belonged to the less common phenomena. Punishments have been usually quite low and ordinarily have not had considerable influence on a future career of an offender.
