"Badges Without Borders: How Global Counterinsurgency Transformed American Policing
explains how the Cold War U.S. effort to professionalize police in other countries
reverberated domestically, leading to the rise of the carceral state. The book traces
the history of the Office of Public Safety, the U.S. government's overseas police
assistance arm tasked with countering communist insurgency in over 50 countries, and
illustrates how it called upon the leading U.S. policing experts. It shows that the
Office of Public Safety was a key instrument of Cold War U.S. empire, a configuration
of geopolitical power that tried to escape the history of racism within the United
States but remained captive to it. In following the cross-border exchanges and circulations
of policing experts, Badges Without Borders reveals a hidden dimension of U.S. global
power and illustrates the bureaucratic battles that empowered police to wage the Cold
War in Third World countries. In turn, this group of policing experts shaped state
responses to political unrest and Black freedom struggles at home, instituting more
aggressive forms of racialized social control. The book reveals how central overseas
projections of U.S. power were to policing tactics and technologies that shape life
on American streets today"
