Scotland yard, canadian police, the fbi, that sort of thing. They have been around longer than any state Law Enforcement organization in the United States. And they have this worldwide image. That is what i am going to explore a little bit tonight. How they got this image, what this image is, but i think we all have some idea of what a texas ranger is. Maybe from tvs and movies, if nothing else. That was my first exposure to the rangers. Growing up in florida, i watched this disney show called texas john slaughter. Some of you may have seen that.
