I just listened to this podcast yesterday. Such great information!! I was wondering if you can point me into any resources about historical law enforcement, homicide investigation, etc. My story is set in 1865... Thanks!

Jodie,

It may largely depend on where your story is set. I would contact the police agencies in those areas to see if they have a Department Historian. Often, these are volunteers or retirees that have taken on the role of Historian as a hobby. You might also look into the local Historical Societies as well.

The mid-1800s were really the beginning of organized police forces in the United States, particularly in major cities. The West Coast would have still been relatively new land. California would have become a state just 15 years prior to your story, so the Wild West tales of Sheriffs and Marshals riding horseback with six-shooters wouldn't be too far off track.
