| In 1857, Baltimore City's Police
Department consisted of a Chief, one Deputy, 8 Captains, 8 Lts., 24 Sgts,
and 393 men. There were also 4 Superintendents, 42 Lamplighters, and 5
Detectives. There were two shifts, day shift from 6 AM, to 8 PM,
and night shift, from 8 PM to 6 AM. There was also a small reserve force,
and if there was a vacancy, that reserve force made sure the shift went
out at full force. In the 1880's, Baltimore had four station house, First
- Eastern ( 22 day beats, 44 night beats ), Second - Middle < Central
> ( 38 day beats, 76 night beats ), Third, Western ( 23 day beats,
46 night beats ) and Fourth - Southern ( 22 day beats - 44 night beats )
. The headquarters was on North Street < Calvert Street
>, near Fayette, in a building also occupied by the Water Commission.
In 1860, the Department was reorganized. By 1912, The Baltimore Police Department had 1052 persons employed, from Commissioner to station house matrons. Police headquarters were located in the Main Courthouse downtown, and eight station houses were located around the City, each with a magistrate to dispose of minor crimes. Look below for the status of the older station house that still stand to this day. |
