The earliest form of policing in the South was known as slave patrols. These patrols were established in the 1700s and were responsible for enforcing slave codes and maintaining control over enslaved populations. Slave patrols had the authority to apprehend, punish, and return enslaved individuals who were deemed to be running away or engaging in rebellious acts.
