Mervyn Mitton Posted October 3, 2014 Author Posted October 3, 2014 We get blase very quickly. I would have thought 185 years of the Metropolitan Police would have extracted a few comments. They set the example for Forces all around the World - let alone in Britain - and wiithout their being formed Heaven alone knows what would exist today. Mervyn QUESTION FOR TODAY : What form of Policing do you think would have evolved had the Met. not been created ? Consider this on a World basis AND for your own Country.
Megan Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 The key concept they introduced from the outset was 'policing by consent' - this was not imposed on citizens, but done for and by them.
