Definición

  • Policing methods and practices have evolved along with the development of modern civilization, although the fundamental precepts—maintenance of order, protection of property, keeping the peace, enforcement of statutes, and investigation of crimes—have remained essentially the same. This entry reviews the major historical developments of police departments, their executives, and their rank and file, with both an individual and citywide perspective.
