It was founded in 1929 by Sir Robert Peel and Francois-Eugene Vidocq and was originally located in the Whitehall district. When it was moved to the Victoria Embankment, the name was changed to New Scotland Yard.

Now, the headquarters is in a twenty story building on 10 Broadway, London. The traditional name of the London Metropolitan Police headquarters is Scotland Yard. It gets this name from its original location. Even though the headquarters have moved, the name has not changed.

Shortly after the formation of the police force, there were 3,300 officers. Today, Scotland Yard is London’s largest employer with over 31,000 officers and over 14,000 staff members. There is also a volunteer program that includes Special Constables , customer service and administrative staff.
