the First 100 Years
History in the Making
“Ever since society was first organized into settled communities it has been necessary to have a class of persons whose duty it was to ensure that the peace be kept and to secure the safety of person and property.
The modern system of well-organized and well-disciplined police forces which now safeguard the internal peace of our country, slowly evolved from those primitive peace officers with the advance of civilization and the expansion of the rural village into the commercial cities and towns of the present day. Upon the efficiency of those forces the public primarily relied for the preservation of law and order and protection of person and property.”
