In Britain today all policemen are commonly referred to as 'Bobbies', short for the first name of Sir Robert Peel Originally though, they were known as 'Peelers' as they were Peel's concept.
The Peelers, or Bobbies,are the London Metropolitan Police Force, which Sir Robert founded in 1829 when he was Home Secretary in Lord Liverpool's Tory Cabinet.
Sir Robert Peel had already established the Royal Irish Constabulary in 1812, and it had proved to be a great success, so the Metropolitan Police Act was passed which provided permanently appointed and paid Constables.
