The origin of the British police lies in early tribal history and is based on customs for securing order through the medium of appointed representatives. In effect, the people were the police. The Saxons brought this system to England and improved and developed the organisation. This entailed the division of the people into groups of ten, called "tythings", with a tything-man as representative of each; and into larger groups, each of ten tythings, under a "hundred-man" who was responsible to the Shire-reeve

The task
                              of organising and designing the "New Police" was placed in the hands of Colonel Charles Rowan and Richard Mayne
                              (later Sir Richard Mayne}. These two Commissioners occupied a private house at 4, Whitehall Place, the back of which opened
                              on to a courtyard. The back premises of 4 Whitehall Place were used as a police station. It was this address that led to the
                              headquarters of the Metropolitan Police being known as Scotland Yard. The exact origin of the name is not clear and the following
                              two stories have both gained credence at various times

Thicker'n thieves
Charles Stoker  More Info

Former Los Angeles Police Department police officer Charles Stoker blasted 1940s corruption in the LAPD.  In 1951, Charles Stoker published “Thicker’n Thieves.”  According to the book cover, “where corrupt police officers, venal politicians and office-holders claimed to have been fighting the underworld, Stocker fought it personally, furiously and with everything at his command to the point where he was framed and fired for “CONDUCT UNBECOMING A POLICE OFFICER” because he testified to the fact before the 1949 Los Angeles Grand Jury.  Aside from being a cold steel account of what transpired during his tenure as an officer, this is the highly human story of young Texan, Stoker.”  Stoker’s 1951 bombshell is now a 2006 collectable, selling for as much as $500.
