02.01.2022 On this day in London in 1829, the Metropolitan Police Service was founded by Robert Peel. Before this, law enforcement was carried out either by unpaid parish ...constables and watchmen or not at all. This system was ineffective both in detecting and preventing crime. The Metropolitan Police Act 1829 created a professional and trained police force with 895 constables patrolling the streets within a 7-mile radius of Charing Cross. The original standard wage for a constable was one guinea (1.05) a week. Applicants had to be at least 5ft 7in, under 35 years of age and in good health. Working shifts lasted 12 hours, 6 days a week, with Sunday as a rest day. Until 1897, Metropolitan Police officers did not receive a boot allowance. Information on how to trace policemen ancestors can be found here: http://www.historybytheyard.co.uk/family_history.htm See more
