Episode 1: The History of Policing

In the very first episode of ACAB: A True Crime Podcast our host Major Riot welcomes you. As we decided to explore the history of policing in hopes it might give our listeners the ability to view cops in a way they may not have before. In the future our format will be more case to case based, with special episodes like this one happening every so often. From ancient Egypt to modern policing we cover it all in Episode 1: The History of Policing.
