September 29th 1829: Metropolitan Police founded

On this day in 1829 the Metropolitan Police of London was founded as part of the Metropolitan Police Act. The institution was pushed for by Home Secretary Robert Peel who wanted an official and accountable police force, as opposed to the shambolic and ineffective law enforcement of the day. His involvement gave police officers the nicknames ‘peelers’ and ‘bobbies’. The police took some time to come into its own, as it was initially regarded with suspicion by many Londoners as an intrusive and aggressive force. However it has since become a respected and effective British institution which is highly valued by Londoners.
