Robert Peel is accredited with the development of principles of policing that are now widely applied by police chiefs, particularly during training of juniors and new recruits in police academies. Now known as the Peelian principles or the nine commandments of policing, two of these principles include training on a perfect command of temper and securing and training of proper persons.
