Town vigilance committees were a hallmark of nineteenth century law enforcement in the west  region of USA

Explanation:

Vigilance was groups of groups that were established by citizens privately to administer the order in places they felt that the government was not doing enough. The term is more of a frontier in the west areas of America in the past centuries.
