I'm not sure that this is a correct statement. I believe that it was either Boston or New York City that had the first established uniformed police department in the US.
The top ten largest US police departments by officer count are New York City Police Department (NYPD), Chicago Police Department (CPD), Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), Philadelphia Police Department, Houston Police Department, Miami-Dade Police Department, Dallas Police Department, Boston Police Department, Detroit Police Department, and Washington DC Metropolitan Police Department.
PD (Police Department)
The American template for modern policing is a direct decendant of Sir Robert Peele's vision of a unified Police Department. The first U.S. Police department was formed in 1844 in the State of New York by the State Legislature, the following year (1845) The New York City Police Department was born.
The motto of Seattle Police Department is 'Service, Pride, Dedication'.
1875 is when the Modesto Police Department was founded. The current Chief of Police in the department is Galen Carroll.
I'm taking a course called Crime and Community, and according to our professor the first modern police department in America was formed in New York City in 1845. Some authors refer to Boston as having the nation's oldest police department1, but it didn't officially become the Boston Police Department until 1854.1Boston Police Department by Wells and Evans.

This has nothing to do with Aviation! Selena Quintanilla was fatally shot on the perimeter of a swimming pool at a motel in Corpus Christi- the name of the town means , literally Body of Christ! Selena either died on the spot or on the way to the hospital. She was gunned down by a jealous co-manager named Yolanda who was later talked into surrendering. Selena was clad only in a peignoir a the time of the tragedy and according to one magazine was chased around the perimeter of the pool by Yolanda before Yolanda opened fire . Murder weapon was a large, police-type revolver. There is a Naval Air Station in Corpus Christi but that has no bearing on the Selena affair.
