Definición

  • The development of professional standards for American policing, as well as the advancement of the concept of policing as a profession, developed during the early decades of the 20th century in reaction to various problems and challenges encountered by early municipal-level police agencies during that time. Police professionalism remains an evolving, and to a certain extent subjective, concept.
