when was the police force established
The Metropolitan Police how it all began. In 1829, when Sir Robert Peel was Home Secretary, the first Metropolitan Police Act was passed and the Metropolitan Police Force was established.This new force superseded the local Watch in the London area but the City of London was not covered.y 1839 all these establishments had been absorbed by the Metropolitan Police Force. The City of London Police, which was set up in 1839, remains an independent force to this day. Until 1829, law enforcement had been lacking in organisation.
