Public Safety (2007) stated that throughout history almost everyone has wanted some form of protection so that they did not have to live in fear every time they left home. People generally want to live their lives knowing that they are safe. It is not known for certain where the origins of police work actually began. During the Middle Ages, fudal lords hired strongmen to ensure that everyone paid their taxes. These hired brutes attempted to maintain some sort of order among the people throughout the kingdom. Unfortunately, in most cases, these men only followed their employer's wishes and did not handle situations in an honest or civil manner (p.142). When America was first colonized, the people who lived here followed a British form of police organization. The governor appointed a sheriff, who collected taxes, enforced laws, and protected the people and their property. There was also a group of men, often called night watchmen, who stayed awake during the night and protected their cities from fire and crime. As cities began to expand in the 19th century, a larger and more organized police force was created. In 1829 a man named Sir Robert Peel established the first modern police force that was not part of the army. The New York police force was created in 1844. These men wore uniforms and carried weapons with them. This police force worked around the clock to protect its citizens within the city. An effort to create a statewide police force was made in Texas in 1835. These uniformed men protected against crime and were called Texas Rangers. Only until 1905 was the first real official department of the State Police created. This department was in Pennsylvania. Next thing you know…half of the document…at the state and federal levels. Smaller local departments often suffer from budget cuts that limit higher officer numbers. The outlook for state troopers across the state of Pennsylvania is diminishing. In 2010, Pennsylvania employed 28,140 state troopers. The expected growth from 2010 to 2020 is 0%. Pennsylvania's annual growth-related openings are 0. Annual retirement-related openings are 826. Nationally, the outlook for this occupation is currently stable. From 2010 to 2020, employment change is expected to increase by 8.2%. The national average for all U.S. jobs increased 14.3%. In the years 2010 to 2020 it is expected that there will be few job openings each year. Nationwide, 24,940 jobs are expected to be created annually between 2010 and 2010. 2020.
