THe Metroplitan Police Force of London England.
NO - the first Police force in the UK was in Scotland 29 years earlier than London. England is not the UK, the UK is two Kingdoms, Scotland & England united as one.
Scotland Yard was the first headquarters of London's Metropolitan Police Force.
Peel helped create the modern concept of the police force, leading to officers being known as "bobbies" (in England) and "Peelers" (in Ireland).
The first real modern police (paid for by government, proactive and not just reactive) was in Glascow in 1800. It was refined greatly in London by Sir Peale the Home Secretary in 1829 with the passage of the Metropolitan Police Act

The only notable police-type force was the "Bow Street Runners" in London.
Robert Peel is credited with establishing the first police force in England in 1829 Robert Peel became the Tory Home Secretary in 1822. The Metropolitan Police Act of 1829 set up an organised police force for London, with 17 divisions, each with 4 inspectors and 144 constables. It was to be controlled from Scotland Yard, and answerable to the Home Secretary. They became known as 'Peelers' and 'Bobbies' after their founder, and wore a dark blue longcoat and a tall hat, the vestiges of which still remain to this day.
"Bobbies" is used as a colloquial term for police officers around the UK, not just London where it originated.
They were a London police force formed in 1749 of constables and former constables.
