==History==

The history of the police as a job function dates back beyond the Roman and Greek eras. Prior to this, the function of law and order was left to the particular nobles to protect their own lands. During the Roman Empire, law and order was more organized, as the military performed this function. In ancient [[Rome]], the [[Praetorian Guard]] acted as the police force.  In America, the police force is a primarily socialist system.  This is because it is a service, payed for by the community, and givin out free to any citizen in need.<ref>http://www.encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761574058/Police.html</ref>
