1800's Police System

Throughout history detectives and police have performed amazing feats with their abilities and were involved in some historically important cases of their era throughout the 1800's till now. Historically local tribal groups were composed of kin-based communities or as villages, bands, and sometimes regions. Local groups were generally politically and economically autonomous, and often maintained kinship, political, economic, and ceremonial ties to other local groups and the collective nation.
