Prohibition, enacted in 1920, significantly transformed American policing by increasing the demand for law enforcement to combat illegal activities such as bootlegging and speakeasies. Police forces expanded and adapted their tactics to address organized crime and corruption, often leading to strained relationships between law enforcement and the communities they served. The era also highlighted issues of police corruption, as some officers accepted bribes from criminals, which spurred calls for reforms in policing practices and accountability. Ultimately, Prohibition reshaped the role of police in society, emphasizing their involvement in regulating moral behavior and public order.

How is policing in Native American communities different from policing in the US -?
If by "Native American communities" you are referring to only those communities actually located on Native American lands (i.e.: reservations) - the policing there is under the jurisdiction of the Tribe itself. The efficacy of the policing is only as good as it woujld be in any smaller community within any of the rest of the US, which is to say, some of it can be very good, and some not quite so good. Since they are self-governing nations they receive the type of law enforcement (on the reservation) that they wish to enforce.
