The Political Era of policing was started in 1829. The first police agency that was started opened in London, called London Metropolitan. When first opening the London Metropolitan, police were supposed to make the people feel safe and secure. During that Era, the rise of crime was at an all-time high. The policing during this time was to protect the community and make sure that the Political candidates were safe. They mainly conducted a patrol of the streets by walking and riding a bicycle.
