EVOLUTION OF POLICING
Police officers as such,
were known in ancient Egypt
and China, as far back as 4000
B.C.
Praetorian guards (2nd century
B.C.)
- military bodies who serve
as guardians of peace in
ancient Rome in which
the idea of policing said
to have originated
ANGLO-SAXON PERIOD OF POLICING

A. Tun Policing System

- A system of policing emerged during the
Anglo-Saxon period whereby all male residents were
required to guard the town (tun) to preserve peace
and protect the lives and properties of the people.
ANGLO-SAXON PERIOD OF POLICING

B. Hue and Cry

- A village law started in Britain which provided
methods of apprehending a criminal by an act of the
complainant to shout to call all male residents to
assemble and arrest the suspect.
ANGLO-SAXON PERIOD OF POLICING

C. Trial by Ordeal (1300-1600 approx.)

- refers to the oldest form of crime detection done by
subjecting a subject to an obstacle or trial and
sometimes even involving third degree.
ANGLO-SAXON PERIOD OF POLICING
- It is a judicial practice by which the guilt or innocence
of the accused is determined by subjecting them to an
unpleasant, usually dangerous experience or in the
present term would mean an employment of “3rd
degree”.

● “Third degree” is a euphemism for torture

(inflicting of pain, physical or mental, to extract
confessions or statements).
ANGLO-SAXON PERIOD OF POLICING
NOTE: The word “Ordeal” was derived from the
Medieval Latin word “Dei Indicum” which means “a
miraculous decision”.

➔ If the wound or injury made by such an ordeal heals,

a person is considered innocent, otherwise, the
accused is said to be guilty.

➔ It relies on the belief that a person is declared guilty

or not through a “Divine Providence”
ANGLO-SAXON PERIOD OF POLICING
Methods of Ordeal (Early methods of Detecting Deception):

➔ Trial by Combat - the two parties who are in

dispute will fight in a duel or combat and whoever
won the fight will be considered innocent and the
loser will be judged as guilty. It is a practice done
in ancient England.

➔ Trial By Ordeal - a person is being subjected to an

unpleasant situation in order to determine his
guilt.
NORMAN PERIOD OF POLICING
- This system of policing existed
during the time of Norman
William The Conqueror (King
of France).

- When he invaded and

conquered England, a military
regime of conquers and
dictators began and changed
the concept of crime being
committed against the state.
NORMAN PERIOD OF POLICING
A. Shire-Rieve
- Shire-Rieve was a policing
system during the Norman
Period when England was
divided into fifty-five (55)
military areas which are called
“shires”, each headed by a ruler
called the Rieve (head-man or
lieutenant of the army). The
shire-rieve had absolute powers
that no one could question his
or her actions.
NORMAN PERIOD OF POLICING
- Two “Constabuli” or “The
Keeper of the Horse” were
appointed to each village to aid
the Rieve in his duties. It
became the source of the word
Constable.

said to be the origin of
the word “Sheriff”
NORMAN PERIOD OF POLICING

“Trial by Ordeal System”
NORMAN PERIOD OF POLICING
C. Frankpledge System
- a system of policing whereby a group of ten neighboring
male residents over twelve years of age were required to
guard the town to preserve peace and protect the lives and
properties of the people.

- the people living in England in small rural towns used the

Anglo-Saxon System. Ten families in a town (tun) equaled a
tithing. Each tithing elected a leader who was known as the
Tithingman. Since 10 tithings amounted to 100, the leader
of the 100 families was named the reeve. Both the
tithingman and reeve were elected officials. They possessed
judicial power as well as police authority.
NORMAN PERIOD OF POLICING
D. Travelling Judge or Circuit Judge
- introduced during the reign of Henry II through the
declaration, called the Assize of Clarendon;

- judges were selected to hear cases which were

formerly being judged by the Shire-Rieve and tasked
to travel through and hear criminal cases. This was
the first instance of the division of the police and
judicial powers.
KEEPERS OF THE PEACE

A proclamation issued by King Richard of England

sometime in 1195 that required the appointment of knights
to keep the King’s peace by standing as guards on bridges
and gates while checking the people entering and leaving

regulations aimed at keeping the peace.
● guards were appointed and the duties of the
constables at night (watch) and in daytime
(ward) were defined

hours, which demanded the closing of the gates
of London during sundown.
WESTMINSTER PERIOD OF POLICING

Justice of the Peace (About 1361)

- Three or four men who learned the law of the land were given
