Trivia for 11/13
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Answer for 11/12:
 
British Home Secretary Sir Robert Peel introduced the legislation establishing the new police force, and in 1829 London's reorganized police force went on duty. What other unofficial long-lasting contribution did he make to the history of the London Police?
 
I was simply looking for the fact that they are called "bobbies" as a nickname for Sir ROBERT Peel. Early on, they were called "Peelers," as well. His Peelian Principles called for the accountability of each officer (all officers were given individual badge numbers) and for a focus on ethical standards in crime-fighting. Peel was quoted as saying, "The police are the public and the public are the police." 
 
Accepted anything in regards to Peel's contributions in any form.
 
38 players answered correctly.
