Best Answer

The first police force in England, the Metropolitan Police, was created by a Victorian called Robert Peel in 1829.

However, the first UK police force (i.e. wearing a uniform displaying "police" and undertaking preventive policing as a formal objective) was the City of Glasgow Police, set up by an Act of Parliament in 1800, i.e. 29 years before the Metropolitan Police.

The first true "police" force was established on the 30th of June 1800 in Glasgow Scotland. The City Of Glasgow police is the first police service in the United Kingdom.

The Metropolitan Police was officially created as a "police" force in 1829, and following a complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority in 2008, it gave a written undertaking to the ASA never to repeat any claim to be the "oldest police force in the world" to avoid enforcement action by the Authority.

I think that the first police force was created before countries were even accepted as a seperation of land. Rome may have had something like that.

If you are looking for the very first country to have a "Police Forse", there was one founded in London by Robert Peel, the person who came up with the "Metropolitan Police Act of 1829", with 17 divisions, 4 inspectors, and 144 "Cops".
