The Metropolitan Police of London, later also known as the Met, is founded

The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), often referred to simply as the Metropolitan Police or Met Police, is the territorial police force responsible for law enforcement in Greater London, excluding the City of London, which has its own police force (the City of London Police). It was established in 1829 by then Home Secretary Sir Robert Peel, making it the oldest modern police service in the world. Its creation was a significant step in the development of professional law enforcement, and it set the standard for police services worldwide.
