Who was first police?

The first organized police force is generally credited to the establishment of the Metropolitan Police Service in London in 1829, founded by Sir Robert Peel. However, the concept of policing has ancient roots, with early forms of law enforcement existing in various civilizations, such as the ancient Egyptian and Roman empires. In these societies, officials known as "Watchmen" or "constables" were responsible for maintaining order. Thus, while London’s Metropolitan Police is often seen as the model for modern policing, the practice itself has a long and diverse history.
