With the transition from a government led by the military-administrative ruling class to that managed by the civil-servant sector during the Tanzimat reforms, the socioeconomic nature of the Ottoman bureaucracy changed dramatically. Studies have tended to focus on the new civil servants educated in the rusdiye (state secondary schools), but poor, unskilled Ottomans seeking to improve their socioeconomic status found the newly established Ottoman police a vehicle to social mobility. A job as a policeman was one of the few these men could qualify for, allowing them to earn a steady income and receive social benefits. Gradually, service in the police force entailed becoming part of an evolving civil-servant sector.

公务员追求者：十九世纪下半叶的奥斯曼帝国社会流动性

在坦济马特改革期间，由军事行政统治阶级领导的政府过渡到由公务员部门管理的政府，奥斯曼官僚机构的社会经济性质发生了巨大变化。研究倾向于集中于在rusdiye（国立中学）中受过教育的新公务员，但是试图改善其社会经济地位的贫穷，缺乏技能的奥斯曼人发现了新成立的奥斯曼警察是促进社会流动的工具。这些人中只有少数几个可以从事警察工作，从而使他们获得稳定的收入并获得社会福利。逐渐地，在警察部队中服役已成为不断发展的公务员部门的一部分。
