The term for the English police referencing Robert Peel is "bobbies." This nickname originated from Sir Robert Peel, who established the Metropolitan Police Service in London in 1829. The police officers were informally called "bobbies" as a nod to their founder's name, reflecting the public's familiarity with the police force he created.
