correct, it's not in constitution or bill of rights. however, on, colonists did have constabulary. kept order of day. crime low, there still had order. then, in 19th century, there became increasingly more police types: town marshall, sheriff, etc. , @ once. because of town corruption, not need more policing. politicians paid create these different forces. changed j edgar hoover. deshaney decision means citizen protection not solely lay state. state can not provide individual protection. self defense basic human right.

the constitution not impose duty on state , local governments protect citizens criminal harm. -- deshaney vs. winnebago county 1989 supreme court decision
