The Philadelphia State Police

In episode two of this many series, we talked about how the philadelphia state police were formed in direct imitation of the philippine constabulary. Formed to suppress the natives of a conquered land. The most influential example of such a force in american history is probably the texas rangers who were formed officially in 18 35. But since we didn't have the as as extensive an oversea empire as those european nations did, our colonial policing forces were actually deployed right here at home.
