Constable to Patrolman – 1880 to 1920 – DATE CHANGED

Travel back with Tom Heath and the Enfield Historical Society to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to learn about life in Enfield at that time of change and how politics influenced the enforcers of laws and the impact those men’s actions had on everyday life. Learn how events during that time led to changes in policing, the end of the political era of law enforcement, and the beginning of the reform era of law enforcement. Equipment used by those early police officers will be on display.

This presentation is open to the public.  Anyone with an interest in history is welcome to attend.
