Call the Police!

When was Chicago without a police force?

In 1861, John Wentworth fired the entire Chicago Police Department when his term as mayor came to an end. Those terminated included sixty patrolmen, three sergeants, three lieutenants, and one captain. The city of Chicago was entirely without police protection for twelve hours until the Board of Commissioners swore in new officers.
