Besides building a stockade (a log wall) around the settlement at Jamestown, in the year 1618, the Royal Governor decreed the creation of the Public Guard, to "Protect ye General Assembly from ye Indians". (The General Assembly is the Virginia Legislature) This was the first law enforcement agency is what is now the US, and it is still in existence, in the form of the Virginia State Capitol Police.
