In this talk, Dr. Mike Casiano will provide an overview of how policing shaped urban governance in Baltimore during the post-Civil War Era. Specifically, he will focus on the institutions that emerged, including the City Jail, various police bureaus, and reform groups, to discuss how nineteenth century investments in reframing local governance resulted in the bureaucratized structures of the twentieth century that continue to define city functions. He will also foreground the various archival sources he has used to narrate this history from the perspective of everyday people's lived experiences.
