Police History
Police history plays a big role in today’s police stations today. When we think about policing we think about what we see on TV and all the police shows and movies that are all out now. But in reality it is not really like that. Policing dates all the way back to the early times with Great Britain and their soldiers they had to protect the queens and kings and protect society from thieves.

He didn’t want the police officers to be seen as a joke and have people think that they worked for nothing. The main principle that is key is for the police officer to have a relationship with the public and society. This is so that people can see and get to know the police officer so they will get to know the officer that will be working in their area.
There are two types of policing in the US there is federal and state. When we look at the federal level it has to do with the top notch agencies like the Federal Bureau of Investigations, Drug Enforcements, Immigration and Border Patrol. These organizations deal with the hard crime that takes a long time to get rid of.
When we look at state this all includes state trooper, country sheriff and your local or city police officer. These officers are here to protect our borders from people crossing illegally and to help keep our community and cities safe from whatever danger
