  • ADMINISTRATIVE/ BIOGRAPHICAL HISTORY

    Sir Robert Peel, 2nd Baronet (5 February 1788 – 2 July 1850) was a British Conservative statesman who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 10 December 1834 to 8 April 1835, and again from 30 August 1841 to 29 June 1846. He entered politics at the young age of 21 as MP for the Irish borough of Cashel, Tipperary.
    While Home Secretary, Peel helped create the modern concept of the police force, leading to officers being known as "bobbies" (in England) and "Peelers" (in Ireland).
