  • English 1950s
  • Classic of British Policemen or 'Bobbies' of this era

The concept of modern policing has its roots in pre-Victorian England, when the British home minister, Sir Robert Peel (1778-1850), oversaw the creation of London’s first organized police force. The term “Bobby” is a slang term for a member of London’s Metropolitan Police. It is derived from the name of Sir Robert Peel, who established the force in 1829.
