I was wondering why this would still be a current term when I remembered the first real modern police force in London being called "bobbies" or "peelers" after Sir Robert Peel. That was nearly 200 years ago, and "bobbies" at least is still used here in Scotland, although I remember it being a lot more common in the 1960s/70s. Surprising how some terms just won't go away.
