New Spain became Mexico in 1822. In both the Spanish and the Mexican periods the responsibility for law enforcement in the Pueblo de Los Angeles was given to the alcalde, a combination mayor and judge who also sat on the ayuntamiento, or town council. The alcalde was responsible only to the Governors comisionado, military representative. The authority for these positions was contained in the Regalmento de 1779.

Citizens were governed by both church and civil law. Penalties for violations included; jail time, forced labor, fines in gold and product, head shaving, stocks, beating, whipping and exile. Executions required a legal ruling from the high court in Mexico.

On January 8, 1847 American Colonel Fremont and Mexican General Pico signed the Cahuenga Treaty that ended the Los Angeles Californio Rebellion. This began the American military administration of law enforcement in Los Angeles. In the vast wilderness of the California frontier the law was as you made it.

Weak Government in Los Angeles Leaves Citizens Unprotected

In 1848 the Sutter’s Mill gold find happened. The first on the scene made fantastic gold strikes, finding eons of placer gold to be scooped up. Fortunes were made supplying food to the gold seekers.

Citizens with anything lived in fear of those who had nothing. A fluid population of unemployed war veterans; luckless, desperate, flat broke prospectors; de-territorialized Californios and an endless stream of drifters working their way to and from the little pueblo produced the crime and debauchery that were so prevalent.

With no law enforcement; grudges and feuds built. For many Los Angeles was a city of sunny days and fearful nights.
