who is considered the father of american policing
August Vollmer In the ensuing years, Vollmer's reputation as the "father of modern law enforcement" grew.[1] He was the first chief to require that police officers attain college degrees, and persuaded the University of California to teach criminal justice. In 1916, UC Berkeley established a criminal justice program, headed by Vollmer.[2] At Berkeley, he taught O.W. Wilson, who went on to become a professor and continued efforts to professionalize policing, by being the first to establish the first police science degree at Municipal University of Wichita (now Wichita State University).[3][4] This is often seen as the start of criminal justice as an academic field.
David Hale (Sons of Anarchy) Deputy Chief David Hale is a fictional character on the FX television series Sons of Anarchy, played by Taylor Sheridan.[1][2] He was the Deputy Chief of Police in the small Northern Californian town of Charming. The Chief, Wayne Unser, nicknamed him "Captain America" for his black and white views, and squeaky-clean adherence to the law, and possibly because of his square jawed all-American looks.
