Sir Robert Peel 
Sir Robert Peel is best known for the Peelian Principles. He did not create the twelve principles but used 
a combination of previous codes that he expected police to follow. The exact historical origins of the twelve 
listed principles below are unknown, but it has been theorized that the principles were slowly created over 
the years by academics studying Peel. 
1- The police must be stable efficient, and organized along military lines; 
2- The police must be under government control; 
3- The absence of crime will best prove the efficiency of police;
