Why do English people call policeman bobbies?

Civilian policemen were an institution first developed by Sir Robert Peel. In his honor, policemen were slangily called Bobbies. In 1828 Sir Robert Peel, then home secretary, and later prime minister, reorganized the London police force into a modern law enforcement agency. Officers in the new department were known at first as "peelers," after their Irish counterparts in a similar reorganization when Peel was secretary for Ireland some years earlier. Then in 1829, Sir Robert Peel formed the London Metropolitan Police. It was a large, well-trained force that was much more effective than any earlier police forces. This new force was able to control the rioting in London, and this led other towns and cities in England to establish their own forces as well. The familiar nickname "bobby" was given to these English policemen in honor of Sir Robert Peel.
