520    Offers a theorization of the quintessential incarnation of
       state power: the police. Foregrounding the interdependence
       of policing, the state, and global capital, the author 
       redefines policing as "violence work," showing how it is 
       shaped by its role of channeling state violence. The 
       author traces this dynamic by examining the formation, 
       demise, and aftermath of the U.S. State Department's 
       Office of Public Safety (OPS), which between 1962 and 1974
       specialized in training police forces internationally. 
       Officially a civilian agency, the OPS grew and operated in
       military and counterinsurgency realms in ways that 
       transgressed the borders that are meant to contain the 
       police within civilian, public, and local spheres. Tracing
       the career paths of OPS agents after their agency closed, 
       the author shows how police practices writ large are 
       rooted in violence - especially against people of color, 
       the poor, and working people - and how understanding 
       police as a civilian, public, and local institution 
       legitimizes state violence while preserving the myth of 
       state benevolence.
