He (the constable) will be civil and obliging to all people of every class and rank. He must be particularly cautious not to interfere idly or unnecessarily in order to make a display of his authority. … if he does his duty in a quiet and determined manner such conduct will probably excite the well‐disposed of the bystanders to assist him if he requires them…particular care is to be taken that the constables of the police do not form false notions of their powers and duties. Initial regulations of the Metropolitan Police, 1829.
