Document Summary
The origins and evolution of police work in canada. Usa, being a british colony and neighbour of canada, these nations helped shape practices and institutions of canadian policing. We can identify a blend of the administrative control achieved over policing by the british, and the more forceful and technology-driven policing of the united. Contributing historical forces: the nightwatch, urban, modern police forces and legacy of robert peel, british policing of ireland, the frontier, american policing styles and technologies, the nightwatch. Multiple forms of organization, but often a reflection of community self- organization, not necessarily codified by large. Specific designated authorities with some responsibilities and powers: urban, modern police forces and legacy of robert peel. In 1829, the metropolitan police act was enacted, establishing a full-time, unarmed police force one of thousand men in london. Recruits were mostly working class to mitigate concerns; established a strict code of conduct for officers.
