The Peelian Principles

(The approach expressed in these principles is commonly known as "policing by consent" in the United Kingdom and other countries including Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. They were formulated under British Prime Minister Robert Peel when he established his police force in 1829, and they have worked well ever since.)

The Peelian Principles are also part of the "Community Policing" guidelines in many US Police Departments.
