Part 2

text a. The police force of the United States.

Innovations in early American law enforcement were based to some degree upon the British experience. Small-scale, organized law enforcement came into being quite early in America's larger cities. In 1658 paid watchmen were hired by the city of New York to replace dratted citizens. In 1731 the first precinct station was constructed.

The organization of American law enforcement has been called the most complex in the world. Three major legislative and judicial jurisdictions exist in the United States – federal, state, and local – and each has created a variety of police agencies to enforce its laws.

Federal Police are the top ones. They enforce laws based on the US Constitution, protecting national interests. Federal jurisdiction encompasses crimes of interstate and international proportion such as the illegal transporting of persons and property across state borders and crimes endangering national security or affecting the integrity of US monetary system or national borders. There are 52 departments of federal jurisdiction headed by the Director each. The most visible ones are the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration), National Borders Police, Department of the Treasury, Department of Justice, Department of Defense, etc.

State-level police. A variety of policing agencies exist at the state level. There are two models of the state police – centralized which combines the tasks of major criminal investigations with the patrol of state highways, and decentralized one, drawing a clear distinction between traffic enforcement on state highways and state level law enforcement functions. The centralized agencies of state police are responsible for operating identification bureaus, maintaining the centralized records repository, patrolling the state highways, assisting local law enforcement departments in criminal investigations. The term Local Police encompasses agencies of wide varieties: municipal departments, rural sheriffs departments, campus police, transit police etc. City police chiefs are appointed by the mayor or selected by the city council. Sheriffs are elected as public officials and responsible for serving court papers, maintaining security within state courts-rooms, running county jail system. The following departments are united under the sheriffs office: Crime Investigation Department, Department of Detention, Organized Crime Department, Department of Community Involvement, Department of Professional Standards, Department of Finance and Budget.
