    Robert Peel established the first professional police force in London in 1829 called the Metropolitan Police in response to rising crime. The new police force employed over 3,000 officers, most of whom were former soldiers, to help catch criminals. This was different than previous policing methods using Bow Street Runners, who rode on horseback alone. Peel's new police force helped professionalize law enforcement and increase convictions, showing the need for organized, community-focused policing.
