philosophy that Sir Robert Peel developed to define an ethical police force

Shurṭa (, from Latin cohors) is the common Arabic term for police. Its literal meaning is that of a "picked" or elite force. The shurṭa or police force were established in the early days of the Caliphate, perhaps as early as the caliphate of Uthman (644–656). In the Umayyad and the Abbasid Caliphates, the shurṭa had considerable power, and its head, the ṣāḥib al-shurṭa (), was an important official, whether at the provincial level or in the central government.
