The United States has multiple nicknames since its origin, including the land of the free, the home of the brave, Uncle Sam, and the great melting pot. The “great melting pot” suggests that there are a multitude of people from around the world that make up the culture in the United States. With a variety of ethnically diverse people comes a multitude of habits, customs, rituals, mannerisms, attitudes, and behaviors. The tasks of keeping people safe, protecting property, and maintaining law and order in the United States has become increasingly challenging to say the least. The landscape of policing in United States has steadily evolved from the profession’s earliest form as southern slave patrols to today’s increasingly diverse police force.
