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.
3
 Fifty years later, there were 120 Bow Street Runners, but London had become very big and
needed more policemen. So, in 1829, the first Metropolitan (or London) Police Force was started
with 3000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses. Until 1920 all the
