Yes, especially the part where it states that private police organizations were formed in multiple Northeastern colonies in the 1630s...or more than 70 years before the first slave patrols. (See also https://time.com/4779112/police-history-origins/ https://time.com/4779112/police-history-origins/ which does a better job with its terminology.)
Unlike slave patrols, the Northeastern police organizations were the model for the formal police organizations formed in the 1800s.
If you're going to make an argument about timing, you need to get a better grasp on how time flows. (Hint: 1704 is a bigger number than 1630, so it comes later in the progression of time.)
