The architect of the modern police force in India is Sir Robert Peel, a British politician, who established the Metropolitan Police Service in London in 1829. His principles of policing laid the groundwork for police organizations worldwide, including India. However, in India, the British colonial government formalized the police structure with the Indian Police Act of 1861, which established the framework for policing in the country. This act has influenced the structure and functioning of police in India to this day.
