1. POLICE HISTORY
Chapter 1

2. Early History
In the 8th and 9th centuries, kings went to war with other kingdoms. While at war, they had to assure stability at home, so King Alfred the Great established a system of MUTUAL PLEDGE
MUTUAL PLEDGE- A form of community self protection developed by King Alfred the Great in 9th century England

3. MUTUAL PLEDGE
The lowest level of self protection was the TITHING (a group of 10 families)
10 TITHINGS (100 families) were grouped into a HUNDRED
Large groups of families (hundreds) in a geographic location was known as a SHIRE (or county)

4. shire-reeve - early English official placed in charge of shires as part of the system of mutual pledge. This position evolved into our concept of sheriff.
Sheriff – Lead law enforcer in a rural area or county

5. What is a Constable?
Constable – Considered the first form of English police officer. Constables were responsible for dealing with serious breaches of the law.
The office of constable dates back at least to 1066 and the Norman Conquest of England. William the Conqueror appointed constables to supervise individual communities, or boroughs. A constable's duties varied considerably in different circumstances and times. They were often similar to those of a sheriff, who supervised a shire (the equivalent of a county). Over time, however, as sheriffs were given increasing administrative duties, constables assumed primary responsibility for local law enforcement.

6. The Constable
The office of constable had been transplanted to the British colonies in North America by the mid-seventeenth century, and with it continued the divergence between constable and sheriff.
In America as in England, the main qualification for the office of sheriff was "that he be of sufficient estate." This limited the choices for sheriff to a relatively small and elite group of planters in each county. As a result, few sheriffs had either the ability or desire to serve warrants or bring offenders to justice. Consequently, the constable and justice of the peace were about the only law and order most rural American settlers ever saw.

7. 1285 - The Winchester Statute in England formed the first Criminal Justice system which had 4 parts:
The Watch and Ward – a primitive form of policing which required all men to serve as night watch in their towns
Hue & Cry – yells to summons assistance

Required all males to keep weapons in their homes for the use of maintaining public peace
