departments had their beginning early american police departments were under the control of local politicians the local political leaders who were mostly the owners of neighborhood taverns or purveyors of gambling and prostitution were the ones who appoint the police executive in charge of their local neighborhood with the police being on these scrupulous merchants and political leaders payrolls it s no wonder that there was massive distrust with the police force with these known and rampant corruption and police brutality in 1929 president hoover appointed the wickersham commission to examine the perceived ineffectiveness of the police department to reduce crime rate despite the commission s findings published in 1931 and 1932 that shocked the nation with its report on police brutality corruption wiretapping bribery coercion of witnesses and fabrication of evidence the police department continued as a bureaucratic entity defiant to both outside influence and reform there were other attempts to reform the police department oftentimes from the police commissioners and chiefs as well who were appointed as a replacement from the previous one terminated due to scandals the goal of these reforms was to loosen the grip of politicians and corporations on the department by the 1960s due to massive social and political changes happening in the country they were many mass uproars on police brutality and oppression it was now hard to ignore scandals created on how police handled large demonstrations and used its force to suppress the civil rights movement in an attempt to improve the police image the drive to professionalize the police and criminal justice system followed in the 1970s and early 1980s the police came again to a massive reorganization dubbed as taylorization of the police force police departments reduced the number of their personnel they also increased the division of labor within departments another change was breaking down the police tasks into more specific and specialized tasks the taylorization aims to isolate the police from the neighborhood they were located and the social work aspect of policing discouraged instead of being too involved with the neighborhood they wanted the police force to be efficient and focused on crime fighting and crime solving in the late 1980s many police departments across the nation had started a new strategy to improve police image their strategy community policing if earlier they were discouraging community involvement with the new program the police department wanted to have close relations with them they aim to alleviate a wide variety of community problems many of which were social in nature the community policing program is an effort to decentralize the police improve relations with the community and to make citizens more comfortable with police presence currently there are 17 985 u s police agencies in the u s they include the city police departments state police or highway patrol county sheriff s offices and federal law enforcement agencies city police also known as municipal police can be a one person agency sometimes called town marshal to a huge one like the new york police department which employs 40 000 police officers state police or highway patrol provides statewide law enforcement duties such as investigations and state patrols county police have countywide jurisdiction and in case the place has both county police and county sheriff county police duties are to patrol and investigate whereas county sheriff can serve papers and provide security to the courts federal law enforcement agencies typical responsibilities include immigration and border management countering fraud against the federation national security giving protection to the country s head of state or other designated important persons post written by lawrence harrick lawrence can also be found writing for credit glory posted in blogging comments off on how police departments had their beginning posted by hilda rogers on april 29 2020 a history of police in america before what we know now as the modern police ancient policing differs between different civilizations the ancient chinese have prefects who did the policing for thousands of years under each prefect were subprefects who will be responsible for law enforcement in their area the ancient greeks used slaves to guard public meetings and do crowd control during roman times it was the army not the police that provided the security the early modern policing was created in paris the largest city in europe during that time king louis xiv created the office of lieutenant general of police who was the head of the new paris police force after the french revolution in 1829 the first uniformed police in france was established known as city sergeants the term police was originally a french word and was borrowed into the english language one might think that the united states police existed since the beginning of the nation s civilization however it s far from the case in the united states policing was earlier conducted by watchers these are community volunteers whose primary duty was to warn others of impending dangers the first known watch system was established in boston in 1636 followed by new york in 1658 and philadelphia in 1700 the biggest disadvantage of the watch system was its unsuccessful attempt to control the crime many of the watchers were not enthusiastic about being one some only signed up to evade military service others are forced into service or just performing the watch duties as a community punishment many of these watchers spent their time sleeping or drank on duty in the southern states the policing was done not to avoid crimes and maintain peace but rather to ensure that runaway black slaves were chased apprehended and returned to their owners the vigilante style organization was called slave patrol the use of slave patrol came to its end when the civil war ended with urbanization happening quickly was the modern organized police force established due to increased crimes or was there another reason the united states was not anymore a collection of small cities and rural towns the population was growing and anecdotal reports suggest that urbanized cities experience more mob violence prostitution and violence against african americans by white youths public disorder was more evident in urban centers rather than in rural towns it emerged then that the main task of the police force during that time was not to combat crimes but instill public order in 1838 the first established american police force was created in boston soon after cities like new york chicago albany new orleans and philadelphia followed suit in the 1880s all major u s cities had set up their own municipal police force the modern police across these cities shared similar characteristics 1 the police are not any more volunteers and are full time employees 2 they are bureaucratic and publicly supported 3 police follow rules and procedures 4 they are accountable to a central government authority the main purpose of the police force during this time was not really to avoid or solve crimes in the post civil war era police tasks were more to break the strikes organized by labor unions these strikes were considered as riots hence police intervention was requested by local economic elites the use of the police force to break these strikes was considered cost effective and politically useful today this kind of police intervention will be considered anti labor and won t be tolerated but during those times policing was pushed by local merchants and businesses to forcibly disperse demonstrating workers many businessmen were given keys to alarm boxes so they could call out police force at a moment s notice by the end of the 19th century the police department was highly connected to politicians and businesses and police officers were regarded as corrupt and known to use brute force the communities had a total distrust of the police department and they can t be faulted because it was true merchants were known to support the development of bureaucratic policing institutions by hiring the police force rather than someone from a private sector to protect their enterprises police were also known to target dangerous classes this underclass was easily identifiable because they were mostly poor foreign immigrants and black people depending on what the elite required the police will be there to do the tasks for example police might be called in to disperse labor union protests or harass opponents of particular political parties they can be paid to turn a blind eye to allow drinking prostitution and gambling posted
