      Sadašnja katalonska policija kreirana je zakonom od 14. 07. 1983. godine. Ustvari je prijašnja policija pretvorena u novu modernu policijsku snagu. Prestali su biti vojna i postali civilna organizacija. Od tada Mossos rastu ne samo brojčano već i po odgovornostima i obučenosti. Preuzeli su uloge Nacionalne policije i Civilne Garde na teritoriji Katalonije. Proces preuzimanja odgovornosti počeo je 1994. a završio 2008. godine. Članak u El Paisu navodi da će broj Mossosa biti 18.267  pripadnika te da će taj broj pripadnika dostići 2015. godine. Očekuje se da će tada u Kataloniji biti između 7,7 i 8,1 milion stanovnika.

      The current incarnation of the Mossos d'Esquadra was created by a law of the Generalitat of July 14, 1983, basically re-founding the previous corps into a modern police force. They are no longer a military force, but a civilian one. Since then, the Mossos have gradually grown in both number, skills and responsibilities. The Mossos d'Esquadra have now replaced Spain's Policia Nacional and Guardia Civil within the territory of Catalonia. This process of substitution began in 1994 and was completed in 2008. According to an article in the El Pais newspaper, the total and final number of Mossos is scheduled to be 18,267, a number which will be reached in the year 2015.  The Catalan population is by then expected to have reached between 7,7 and 8,1 million.

      Krajem 2005. godine, Mossos su preuzeli sve policijske dužnosti u Barceloni. U stvari su španjolske državne policijske snage stavljene pod upravu Katalonskog Generaliteta, sa ovlastima za djelovanje na teritoriji pod autonomne oblasti Katalonije u skladu sa španjolskim zakonima te Statutom Autonomne oblasti Katalonije. Nacionalna policija i Civilna Garda su pod direktnom upravom španjolskog Ministarstva unutranjih poslova. Ove dvije službe su zadržale neke odjele u Kataloniji radi borbe protiv terorizma, izdavanja osobnih dokumenata, imigracionih pitanja te nekih drugih ovlasti koje nisu u nadležnosti lokalnih vlasti. Obuku svojih pripadnika vrše u Institutu za javnu sigurnost u kojem se obučavaju i pripadnici katalonskih lokalnih policija.

      In November 2005, the Mossos took full duties in the city of Barcelona. The Mossos d'Esquadra are a police force of the Spanish state placed under the authority of the Generalitat de Catalunya, within the territory of the autonomous community of Catalonia, and in accordance with the principles of the Spanish constitution and all legal provisions therefrom derived, such as the Statute of Autonomy of Catalonia and the laws therefrom derived. The Policia Nacional and the Guardia Civil, on the other hand, are commanded directly by the Spanish ministry of the interior. They keep some officers in Catalonia to handle terrorism, identity documents, immigration and other limited responsibilities of the central government.  The Mossos are trained in the Institut de Seguretat Pública de Catalunya (Public Safety Institute of Catalonia), which also trains local police officers.

      The Mossos d'Esquadra, doslovno prevedeno kao "Dečki iz odjela" su najstarija, još postojeća, policijska snaga u Evropi. Osnovani su u 18. vijeku kao Esquadres de Catalunya sa zadaćom zaštite javnog reda i mira. Prvi su pripadnici bili neregularni borci, učesnici ratova za Španjolsko naslijeđe, koje je okupio  gradonačelnik grada Vallis de Tarragona između 1719-1721. godine. Bili su organizirani po principu milicije, sa namjerom osiguranja sigurnosti na sajmovima i trgovačkim rutama koji su bili podvgnuti stalnim opasnostima. Tokom vijekova nadležnosti nad njim su prelazile nekoliko puta sa Katalonske na centralnu vojnu vlast i obratno. Raspušta ih 1868. godine general Prim nakon pada kraljice Izabele II Španjolske, jer su pripadnici Mossosa uvijek bili rojalisti. 

      The Mossos d'Esquadra ("Troopers", literally "Squad Lads") are the police force of Catalonia, one of the autonomous communities of Spain. It is the oldest civil police force in Europe, founded in the 18th century as the Esquadres de Catalunya to protect the people of Catalonia.They were originally men-at-arms who had fought as irregulars in the War for the Spanish Succession, and were brought together by the mayor of the town of Valls near Tarragona between 1719–1721. The corps became institutionalised and constituted a militia, which intended to provide security to trade routes and fairs, exposed to constant dangers. Throughout the centuries it has passed back and forth from Catalan authority to Spanish military command several times. They were dissolved in 1868 by General Prim after the fall of Queen Isabella II of Spain, since the Mossos had always been royalists.

      Osam godina kasnije, 1876. dolazi do obnavljanja ove službe, pod upravom Izabelinog sina Alfonsa XII, ali samo u provinciji Barcelona. Procvjetali su pod vlašću Prima de Rivere, ali izbijanjem Španjolskog građanskog rata staju uz Katalonski Generalitat. Nakon rata zadnji pripadnici Mossosa napuštaju Španjolsku s predsjednikom Generalitata te frankove vlasti raspuštaju ovu službu. 21. 07. 1950. delegacije Barcelone dobija dozvolu za ponovno osnivanje odjela Mossos d'Esquadra. Povratkom demokracije u Španjolsku, broj pripadnika raste, a uvećavaju se i njihove ovlasti. Od 25. 10. 1980. godine snagama zapovijeda Generalitat Katalonije (regionalna vlada Katalonije).

      They were reinstated in 1876 under the reign of Isabella's son king Alfonso XII  of Spain, but only in the province of Barcelona. They flourished, though, under Primo de River's dictatorship. When the Second Spanish Republic was proclaimed, however, the Mossos sided with the Generalitat de Catalunya.  After the Spanish Civil War, the last Mossos left Catalonia with the President of the Generalitat and the corps was dissolved by the Francoist authorities. On July 21, 1950 the Deputation of Barcelona was authorised to create a section of Mossos d'Esquadra. With the return of democracy to Spain, the Mossos d'Esquadra grew in number and attributions. Since October 25, 1980 the force has been under the authority of the Generalitat de Catalunya (regional Government of Catalonia).

      Guardia urbana (gradska straža) je općinska policija grada Barcelone. Formirani su krajem daleke 1843. godine kao Općinska straža (Guardia municipal). Preimenovani su 1907. godine. Bili su naoružani sabljom, pištoljem i puškom. Nakon „Tragične nedjelje“ 1909.godine,  ove snage su demilitarizirane i sada službenici nose samo lako naoružanje za vlastiti odbranu. Početkom 20-tog vijeka uniforma im je kreirana po uzoru na one Britanske policije.
