| | In May 2003, a police assessment team from the Justice Department's International Criminal Investigative Training Assistance Program (ICITAP) concluded that the Iraqi police were incapable of maintaining public order and required international assistance to accomplish this task. | | | Police stations and vehicles became targets of mob violence, and police personnel were reluctant to maintain public order or remain on duty. | | | U.S. police advisers believed the military did not understand either the ethos or the practical requirements for training law enforcement officers and was intent on simply "putting Iraqi guns on the street"; in order to reduce pressure on coalition forces. |

| | 227 States secure this role by reserving sovereign power over “all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties and properties of the people; and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the state.”228 States delegate police power to municipalities, in place of specific statutory provisions. | | | The sovereign power itself, therefore, cannot consistently with the principles of the law of nature and the constitution of a well ordered society, make a direct and absolute grant of the waters of the state divesting all the citizens of their common right. | | | 346 Police powers do erode private property rights, but states can limit that erosion by compelling municipalities to act in the public interest by defining their police power in part through comprehensive plans. |

| | Someone once observed that the "criminologist's definition of 'public order crimes' comes perilously close to the historian's description of working class leisure time activity. Under public order provisions, the Toronto Police were responsible for the licensing and regulation of dance halls, pool halls, theaters, and later movie houses. | | | A series of commercial bylaws and license regulations were introduced by City Council and the Police Commission to be enforced by the Toronto Police. | | | [6] It was done so the next year: for "improved sanitary conditions, less danger from infection, prevention of gambling, opium smoking, etc," the licensing of laundries was delegated to the Toronto Police in 1902. |

| | International Policing in 19th-Century Europe (by Mathieu Deflem) |
| | Whereas the Prussian Landrecht Law had delineated the police function more clearly in terms of order maintenance, the functions of police were later, particularly after the unrests of 1848, again defined in terms of both the care for welfare and the protection from dangers (Fallati 1844; Foucault 1975:280-285; Rau 1853). | | | In the case of the Police Union, this partial independence is most clearly reflected in the fact that the Union, while silently approved of by the heads of state of the participating nations, was never legally sanctioned and operated secretly. | | | Within a year, police of these four states negotiated with police officials from Bavaria, Württemberg, and Baden, and the seven-member "Police Union (Polizeiverein) of the more important German States", as it was referred to in bureaucratic circles, was formed (Siemann 1983a:2). |
