Today, residents of the Borough of Queens are fortunate enough to be protected by the New York City Police Department - but that wasn't always the case. There was a time when Queens County was not a part of New York City, and the towns and villages provided their own law enforcement through an assortment of constables, marshals, special officers, and watchmen. What happened to these Queens lawmen when the county was pulled into the Greater City of New York? This is the story of the policemen of the independent county of Queens and their fight to keep their jobs when Queens became a Borough in the City of New York.
