THE HISTORY OF THE LONDON POLICE

Today there are policemen everywhere; but in 1700 London had no policemen

at all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night and they were not

paid very much. About 300 years ago, London was starting to get bigger. The city

was very dirty and many people were poor. There were so many thieves who stole

money in the streets that people stayed in their homes as much as possible.

In 1750, Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They

were like policemen and were called "Bow Street Runners' because they worked

near Bow Street. Fifty years later, there were 120 Bow Street Runners but London

had become Very bid and needed more policemen. So in 1892, the first

Metropolitan (or London) Police Force was started with 3000 officers. Most of men

worked on foot but a few rode horses. Until 1920 all the police in London were men.

Today London police are quite well paid and for the few police officers who still ride

horses, the pay is even better than for the others.
