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

The Real Police: Stories from the Crescent City
James S. Prine  More Info

Tales from the Id
James S. Prine  More Info

James S. Prine, a veteran of the New Orleans Police Department has written “Real Police: Stories from the Crescent City” a compilation of stories about police work from a police officer’s point of view.  The term “Crescent City” is one of the nicknames given to New Orleans and refers to the course of the Mississippi River around the city.  According to a review from the New Orleans Gambit, “I wouldn't suggest it to the squeamish, the politically correct or anyone who prefers not to know too much about their neighbors or our protectors.  It is suggested reading, however, for those with morbid curiosities, those who empathize with our police force and anyone planning a career in law enforcement.” James’ second work is a collection of short stories brought together under the title “Tales from the Id.”
