Police History
|
| |
|
| |
Police are agents or
agencies empowered to enforce the law and to effect public and social
order through the legitimate use of force. The word Police comes via French from the
Latin politia (“civil administration”), which itself derives from the
Ancient Greek, for polis ("city"). The first police force comparable to present-day police was established
in 1667 under King Louis XIV in France, although modern police usually
trace their origins to the 1800 establishment of the Marine Police in
London, the Glasgow Police, and the Napoleonic police of Paris.
The modern police force in Malaya and Malaysia started in 25 March 1807
when a police force was established in Penang. Most of the officers were
of British origin. Soon, several similar organizations were introduced
to the Straits Settlements and other Malay states, particularly to the
Federated Malay States. These organizations, however, were not
integrated and were independent of each other. This changed after World
War II; police forces all across Malaya were streamlined and placed
under a single administration.
