In "Police and the Empire City", Matthew Guariglia delves into the complex and often fraught history of the New York Police Department, revealing the intricate web of racial dynamics that shaped its origins. From the 1840s to the Interwar Period, Guariglia chronicles the creation of the NYPD, which replaced the former night watch system and was modeled after London's Metropolitan Police. Focusing on the experiences of Irish immigrant officers, Guariglia sheds light on the ways in which race influenced policing and social mobility in the city. This thought-provoking book exposes the deep-seated anti-Irish and anti-Catholic sentiment that pervaded the early years of the department, and how it continues to impact policing today. Through a nuanced and detailed examination of the NYPD's history, Guariglia offers a compelling analysis of the entwined histories of race and policing in New York City.
