what was the first police department created in the united states
Police In 1789 the U.S. Marshals Service was established, followed by other federal services such as the U.S. Parks Police (1791)[37] and U.S. Mint Police (1792).[38] The first city police services were established in Philadelphia in 1751,[39] Richmond, Virginia in 1807,[40] Boston in 1838,[41] and New York in 1845.[42] The U.S. Secret Service was founded in 1865 and was for some time the main investigative body for the federal government.[43]
Interpol In 1923, a new initiative was taken at the International Criminal Police Congress in Vienna, where the International Criminal Police Commission (ICPC) was successfully founded as the direct forerunner of Interpol. Founding members included police officials from Austria, Germany, Belgium, Poland, China, Egypt, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Romania, Sweden, Switzerland, and Yugoslavia.[9] The United Kingdom joined in 1928.[10] The United States did not join Interpol until 1938, although a US police officer unofficially attended the 1923 congress.[11]
