Hey! I know how to copy and paste!Scotland Yard (officially New Scotland Yard) is a metonym for the headquarters of the Metropolitan Police Service, the territorial police force responsible for policing most of London.
The name derives from the location of the original Metropolitan Police headquarters at 4 Whitehall Place, which had a rear entrance on a street called Great Scotland Yard.
The Scotland Yard entrance became the public entrance to the police station, and over time the street and the Metropolitan Police became synonymous. The New York Times wrote in 1964 that just as Wall Street gave its name to New York's financial district, Scotland Yard became the name for police activity in London.
The force moved away from Great Scotland Yard in 1890, and the name New Scotland Yard was adopted for subsequent headquarters. The current New Scotland Yard is located on Broadway (51.49861°N 0.13305°WCoordinates: 51.49861°N 0.13305°W) in Victoria and has been the Metropolitan Police's headquarters since 1967.
In 2013, it was announced that the force will move to a smaller building on the Victoria Embankment in 2015, which will be renamed Scotland Yard

Thank you! Interesting history.
pedalguy59: Thanks.
hopefully what was there on the internet..... was true.....

A reason why I don't like wikipedia.

I think there is a 4% inaccuracy, but I appreciate your playfulness.
bungallow55: A reason why I don't like wikipedia.
See I don't have feelings about wikipedia -
When dealing with the internet, I simply read and think - is it possible? does it have a reasonable basis as a source?, is it informative?
Don't you think we humans have the ability to think about what we read and decide if it rings true, or not. We may not like what we read, or who writes the message, but we have the ability to read, think and decide.

I find on reading books on a certain subject, I will read a lot of
them to piece together an element of truth.

Well could be true. But not for college students, I used to live by USF area, I was in that student circle, I didn't find a single student using wikipedia as a source for getting info, they just hated this site.

Yes, and especially to read from different writers. I read somewhere that there is always 3 sides to any story. The two side and then somewhere in there, the truth.

I think Humphrey Bogart said in the "Caine Mutiny"...."There is the
right way, the wrong way, the Navy way, and my way."
BTW...NBC nightly news had a report
about wikipedia...the news-woman found out
that people there were writing their own
things with no based to historical origins.

One of my friends tried to correct some of the errors written on a friend of theirs who they knew and it did not allow the corrections.
when it is done by humans, there are bound to be flaws!

Well I appreciate your information about Scotland Yard.
I digress a bit - on the point abut Finding the truth on the Internet.
So in the City of Miami right now, our government center has a "Fallen Officer Tribute"
It is a very emotionally moving display - mannequins are wearing a black t-shirt inscribed on the back with the fallen officer's name and date of death, on the front "I died for You".
There are row upon row of black T-shirt mannequins, the number of them is staggering. So I asked who and when was the first fallen? The first was an officer named Rhett McGregor August 12, 1895.
So back to my point - I googled to find more information about his death. A FIU education library source - a story supposedly written in 1956 by a lady grew up here in Miami and remembers the incident - in a report. I am wondering how much of it is true? She wrote a lot of things that are in our history here - she has a street named after her. ......
But it takes a lot of time to answer just one random question I had, about how was the first here and how and why he was killed.
I read, in her account, that he went out to arrest a man who murdered some men a few days earlier. He was shot, wounded, and the suspect surrendered, and he died of the wound a few days later. the second officer died because a lynch mob broke into the jail to hang the suspected murderer and they killed the jailer in the desire to exact justice. So that is how law and order comes to Miami back in 1895.
So was the paper I read the truth? or was it a paper written by some FIU student on historical fiction? or what?
