The Yard was started in the 1800’s it is one of the oldest national agencies still in existence. The Scotland Yard is best known for its flying squad (a unit if quick dispatch cars), and the development of the 999 phone call (much like 911 in America). The Yard is also known for thorough investigation of crimes and it’s long (and unsuccessful) attempt at catching Jack the Ripper. Nowadays the Scotland Yard is known as The Metropolitan Police or MET.
