Soluzione
- Metropolitan Police officers have become a symbol of London.
- The Metropolitan Police was founded by Sir Robert Peel in 1829.
- The objectives were to prevent and investigate crimes, as well as arrest criminals.
- The first officers, or "peelers," worked tirelessly, with minimal time off and no voting rights.
- The initial uniform was chosen to distinguish officers from soldiers, with dark blue coats and trousers to look like ordinary citizens.
- Modern police officers, or "bobbies," wear formal jackets, carry radios, Tasers, and protective gear.
- The Met moved to New Scotland Yard in November 2016.
- Scotland Yard's name originates from the Met's original location on Great Scotland Yard street.
