Alright, let's say that a small town that is usually covered by the state police, or an unincorporated area that recently incorporated into a town, borough, city, etc, was going to start their own department. How is a new police department born? Who do they usually hire first, and how is hierarchy (sergeants, lieutenants, chief) established right away?

I have a little experience in this matter,as the department I currently work for was just started in January. I was hired as a chief of police for a village of about 400 people. I am currently the only officer working for this department. Once the village was incorporated they were recognized by the Secretary or State as an incorporated village. Then they had to establish ordinances, including an ordinance to establish a police department. They had to send a copy of the ordinance to the law enforcement training board. And hire, in my case a chief of police. I was responsible for getting the department set up and up and running.Defend us in battle.

Originally posted by chiefmpd View PostThat's what I've been doing. I've only wrote two locals since I've been here in January.

I just figured it would be a matter of time before they started complaining. Who cares though, rightGovernment is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. - Ronald Reagan

The Bowie Police Dept. in MD, just stood up their dept in 2006. For the first year or so, they were definetly a PD on paper only, then they started having officers on patrol only during certain hours, now they are 24/7.....
They started by hiring the Chief, and she basically hireed a senior staff, and they worked their way down to LT, SGT, and then officers ..... see 2 links below.
