Summary
Law enforcement has changed over time. Students learn about its history in England and the United States.
Early English Law Enforcement
The history of law enforcement starts with the Norman invasion of England. William the Conqueror and his son Henry I set up early policing systems. They divided England into areas with officers to keep the peace.
Modern Police Departments
The first metropolitan police departments were created in the 19th century. London got one in 1829. Boston followed in 1838. Many cities had night watchers and volunteers before then.
State and Federal Agencies
State police agencies began in the 20th century. The Texas Rangers were the first. Federal agencies have jurisdiction nationwide. They include the U.S. Marshals Service, the FBI, the Secret Service, the DEA and the Department of Homeland Security.
Differences Between State Agencies
State agencies include highway patrolmen, state troopers, and state police. Their roles and responsibilities vary by state. Highway patrolmen often handle traffic violations. State troopers and state police have broader responsibilities.
