 HISTORY
The early development of policing can be traced
during 1700’s in Colonial America that focuses
specifically on the northern regions of the
country while neglecting events that took place in
the southern region—specifically, the creation of
slave patrols in the South. Samuel Walker
identified slave patrols as the first publicly
funded police agencies in the American South.
Slave patrols (or “paddyrollers”) were created to
manage the race based conflict occurring in the
southern region of Colonial America; these
patrols were created with the specific intent of
maintaining control over slave populations.
Political Era of policing: The first police
department in the United States was established
in New York City in 1844 (it was officially
organized in 1845). Other cities soon followed
suit: Those early departments all used the
London Metropolitan Police as a model. At the
time, America was a political machine, meaning
local businesses and police forces reported to a
single political leader in exchange for a reward.
As Time magazine reported, this
led to corrupt politicians and corrupt police offic
ers
. For example, some politicians paid off officers
to ignore certain groups' illegal activities.
Reform Era: As the Political Era of policing ended
up being laced with corruption and brutality, it was
followed by the Reform Era. One police chief was largely
at the forefront of this new era, Chief August Vollmer. He
is considered the pioneer for police professionalism.
August Vollmer was the Chief of Police in Berkeley,
California (1905-1932).
• From the end of the political era till the
early 1970’s, policing in the United States
went through the “Professional Era”. The
professional era rejected politics as the
basis of police legitimacy. Police were no
longer seen as working for the political
leaders and seen as “law enforcement”.
However, the professional style was not
working which led to studies, research and
experiments to try to understand what
works. It was concluded that police-
community collaboration was essential. In
the late 1970’s the “Community Policing
era” was developed.
• Community Policing is generally
defined as a law enforcement
philosophy that allows officers to
continuously operate in the same
area in order to create a stronger
bond with the citizens living and
working in that area. This allows
public safety officers to engage
with local residents and prevent
crime from happening instead of
responding to incidents after they
occur.
 TYPES OF U.S. POLICE SYSTEM
1. MUNICIPAL POLICE . These include village, township, city, and country
police department, sheriff departments, and a variety of special
purpose agencies like transit authority and housing authority police.

There are two subtypes of local police, namely:

A. COUNTY SHERIFF OFFICE - Has jurisdiction over large areas and in
charged with the operation of a county jail, civil functions such as service
of eviction notices and other court orders and police responsibility.
B. CITY POLICE – Most common local police organization.
The Varieties of local policing:
A. Legislative - rely upon the formal criminal law as a definition of not
only what situations merit their attention but what manner they should
intervene.
B. Service style - treat every citizen complaint as requiring police
response. It is characterized by many police citizen contacts but relatively
few citation and arrest
C. Watchman Style - exercise considerable discretion in defining whether
a situation requires police response and what that response should be it
characterized by fewer officer initiated contacts with citizen. It emphasize
the peacekeeping function of policing.
2. State Police. Highway patrols who are typically given the test
of regulating traffic and maintaining order and safety on state
federals highway.

3. Federal Police. Police agencies supervised by federal

government at the national level which most of these have
limited responsibilities and do not provide general police service
citizens.

are located in the Southwest than any other area of the Unites States, and
the largest of these is the Navajo Nation in Arizona, Native American tribes

 HISTORY
Early forms of policing in England were localized and unsystematic rather than
centralized or systematic.

• The offices of Constables were established and these were seen as local representatives
of central government.
• In 1285, the Statute of Winchester rationalized the system of "Watch and Ward" in
towns. * The Justices of the Peace Act of 1361 made new magistrates responsible to
the crown for local law enforcement.
• 17th century society, self-policing was common in the local people tended to hire their
own street patrols and prosecuted those who had offended against them.
• The Fielding brothers (Henry and John) were key advocates of reform in terms of their
establishment of an early police force, the Bow Street Runners.
• In 1829, home Secretary Robert Peel introduced the Metropolitan Police Act.
