Discuss the reasons that some argue that the Boston Police Department was considered the first official police department in the United States.
What will be an ideal response?
The Boston Police did not wear uniforms and were not issued identifying badges. Their presence was felt less than their counterparts in England and they were not very successful in reducing crime, and in fact, they were not officially created until 1854 when both the watch and the ward were disbanded. This is why many argue that the New York City Police Department was the first official police department in the United States as it formed in 1845.
