Very dull answer - the force as we know it was started by Robert Peel - Robert = Bobby
It was Sir Robert Peel, who was Home Secretary in ooh the 1820s, I think (later Prime Minister). He founded the Metropolitan Police, the first 'modern' city-wide police force.
In my day it was called coppers nob.
