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.
