It was a gang war, that occuried in the month of Febuary.  It was between the bloods of L.A and the Crips of L.A.  A peace agreement was reached after the death of various gang members.  The agreement was reached on Febuary 29th hence the name Leap Year War. Approximitly 8 gang members died that month.  The agreement held up until the rodney king riots in the early 90's.  Most of the deaths during this war, are today considered cold cases. This war was also mentioned in some of 2 pacs early music.  For more look for realesed police records.

Probably New York in 1845.  Boston makes the claim but it is disputed.  Check policeguide.com for pictures of the 1st NY and Boston police badges.  They have a search box on every page and you can search New York badges.  Hope this helps.

anthrax/public enemy was pretty much the first group to do that.

If the academy in Los Angeles you're talking about is the LAPD academy, you'd have to be hired by the Los Angeles Police Department - it's their academy, and they make the rules.\n\nIf you're talking about a "generic" police academy in California, they are almost always run by local community colleges.  You can enroll in one (as long as you're 18+) just because you want to, you do not even have to be interested in working in law enforcement.  You have to be able to pass a written test (your ability to read and write will be tested), and you must be free from any convictions that will prohibit you from being able to possess a firearm.  You also have to be able to afford the $1,000 + price tag....it's expensive because it's roughly 700 hours of full-time education.

No, they were not "sex police," at least not only that. The Bureau of Investigation, as it was originally called, was created in 1908 by Teddy Roosevelt simply as a method of investigating crimes from within the Department of Justice, which up to that time did not have any law enforcement officials and relied on the Secret Service. They investigated anything the Department of Justice had jurisdiction over, which could have included certain sexual crimes.

Police don't have the right to catch criminals, they have the responsibility within the framework of the US constitution. The US is the only democracy where the Exclusionary Rule voids evidence which was seized unlawfully. I believe that professional officers will almost always win over the actions of criminals. For the police, we have many more tools today than we did in the late 70's. DNA, in-car computers, video are but a few of the advances. Recent court decisions have continued to give more needed power to the police. To answer your question, I believe that it is balanced for the first time...

In December 1981 additional laws were enacted clarifying permissible military assistance to civilian law enforcement agencies—including the Coast Guard—especially in combating drug smuggling into the United States. Posse Comitatus clarifications emphasize supportive and technical assistance (e.g., use of facilities, vessels, aircraft, intelligence, tech aid, surveillance) while generally prohibiting direct participation of Department of Defense personnel in law enforcement (e.g., search, seizure, and arrests). For example, Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachments (LEDETS) serve aboard Navy vessels and perform the actual boardings of interdicted suspect drug smuggling vessels and, if needed, arrest their crews.\n \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act\n\nI was U.S.C.G for ten years. Four of them were spent aboard USCGC Dauntless.\n\nhttp://www.uscg.mil/lantarea/cutter/dauntless/welcome.htm\nIt was homeport Miami at that time(mid 80's)\nWe did Haitian Migration interdiction and drug interdiction as well as being first on scene and on scene commander for short time during Space Shuttle CHALLENGER explosion.\n\nBut we could not stop people on the streeet

Check out this really good article: "The Emerging Paradigm for Policing Multiethnic Societies:  Glimpses from The American Experience", available at: http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/nij/publications/specialissue/10McDonald.pdf\n\nLook through the paper's endnotes to find other sources on the topic...there seems to be a lot there.

The welfare reform movement reached its apex on August 22, 1996, when President Clinton signed a welfare reform bill, officially titled the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, is a United States federal law that was considered to be a fundamental shift in both the method and goal of federal cash assistance to the poor. PRWORA instituted Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) which became effective July 1, 1997 and replaced what was then commonly known as welfare, the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS) programs. Essentially a cash stipend to the indigent with young children, its impacts were threefold: 1) It shifted welfare from an entitlement to greater requirements for compliance by the client. 2) It placed a lifetime limit of no more than 60 months of benefits and 3) It was instituted as a block grant to states, allowing much greater freedom to the individual states to determine the rules of compliance. There is also a component that aims to encourage two-parent families and discourage out-of-wedlock births. To continue to receive federal benefits, TANF clients must work or look for work. Hence, individual state programs emphasize this shift with names for the program such as "Wisconsin Works" or "WorkFirst".

Well, in a nutshell, keeping American backyard free of communist tentacles spreading through the world. Almost all of the interventions in LA were based on some of this propaganda.\n\nInterests of the US in LA were various though, but mainly to protect US companies (especially banana producers) and to guarantee free entry to LA resources. That would be it.
