all british police were called bobbies i dunno the real answer but it could be when they used to have tall hats if they were on the otherside of a wall all you would see was their hat bobbing up and down as they walked:D

[Mr. Pitiful]

Hey I like your answer. not the right one though....

When Sir Robert Peel introduced his Act for Policing the Metropolis in 1829, the members of the Metropolitan Police (London's first police force) were nicknamed Bobbies after Sir Robert.
