Blogshares Industry Idea for Contest #3

Proposed Industry: Law Enforcement

It could go under Society like the Military Industry or Under the Law Industry--although that appears to be more Legal


Law Enforcement: Organizations given authority by the government to maintain law and order. Officers put their lives on the line to capture the bad guys, thereby promoting safety and security.


Info on Law Enforcement: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police

History: Before law enforment officials people enforced the law themselves or let the military handle the situation. The Romans had the first non-military police force the vigiles under Gaius Octavius. Throughout the Middle Ages law enforcement varied widely with different systems in use, the English systems had sheriffs and constables. The first professional Police group were the London Bobbies in 1829 (after Sir Robert Peel).
