Question

select the correct answer.
whom does history regard as the \father
a. august vollmer
b. herbert hoover
c. o. w. wilson
d. sir robert peel

Explanation:

To determine the "father" (likely of modern policing or a related field), historical knowledge shows Sir Robert Peel is regarded as the father of modern policing (founder of the Metropolitan Police in London). August Vollmer is a key figure in American policing reform, Herbert Hoover was a US president, and O.W. Wilson was a policing scholar, but the classic "father" reference here is Sir Robert Peel.

Answer:

D. Sir Robert Peel
