	The shurta was headed by the sahib al-shurta, a man whose authority paralleled that of the [[muhtasib]] (market inspector) or the {{Wiki\|qadi}} (judge). This position was particularly prominent in the seventh and eighth centuries, when the Umayyad dynasty ruled over the empire. However, as the bureaucracy of the Aobasid Empire expanded, bringing the central state to increasingly distant locations, responsibilities initially given to the shurta began to fall to the army. By the 11th century, the shurta no longer acted as caliphal bodyguards, executioners, or suppressors as they once had.
