Полиция Темзы Патрика Колкухуна — предтеча современной полицейской системы

Abstract

The article examines the features of the formation of the police system of our time. In the 18th century, the British law enforcement system was on the verge of grandiose reforms. Rapid economic growth and social shifts have revealed the need to ensure public order and security, suppress riots, protect goods and goods in a new format, which required the creation of specialized law enforcement units. The modern form of police law enforcement was implemented in 1829 by Robert Peel, who created the Police Service, the territorial police force responsible for ensuring law and order in Greater London (Metropolitan Police Service).
