Serbian term or phrase: Narodna milicija
Nakon Drugog svetskog rata, odredbama Zakona o Narodnoj miliciji iz 1946. godine, definisana je narodna milicija kao izvršni organ državne uprave u narodnim republikama i administrativno-teritorijalnim jedinicama sa zadatkom očuvanja javnog reda i mira, državne, društvene i privatne imovine i bezbednosti građana, kao i za pomoć organima radi obezbeđenja pravnog poretka. Pored toga, Ministar unutrašnjih poslova imao je ovlašćenja da pravilnikom propiše osnivanje posebnih grana narodne milicije za izvršenje zadataka iz nadležnosti FNRJ, te je tako u industrijskim preduzećima, zavodima i ustanovama, obrazovana industrijsko-zavodska narodna milicija.

disagree  Daryo: Police (Force/Service)? you are transplanting another system into a country and time where and when the system in place was something entirely else.

  -> Obzirom da se radi o običnoj državnoj policijskoj službi, mislim da bi upotrebom reči militia samo nepotrebno zbunili engleskog čitaoca i opteretili tekst traženjem logike kojom su se vodili Staljin i Tito prilikom imenovanja institucije.

After further consideration, I think that "People's Militia" is better. I was misled by Google.

disagree  Daryo: you are relying on a translation by someone who hasn't got a clue about Yugoslavia - using "national" when it comes to ex-Yugoslavia was and is like walking straight into a minefield of misleading "shifted meanings"
