EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures Roger Eykyn, MP for Windsor, in the role he was best known for during his distinguished political career: as an ardent advocate for law enforcement and criminal justice reform. Taken by renowned photographers at Vanity Fair in 1895, the image showcases Eykyn's unwavering commitment to the police force and his status as a champion for their cause. Born in 1825, Eykyn began his political journey in the Conservative Party, representing the constituency of Windsor. However, it was his work in the Home Office, where he served as Under-Secretary from 1886 to 1892, that solidified his reputation as a champion for the police. During his tenure, he spearheaded several significant reforms, including the establishment of the Metropolitan Police Act in 1888, which reorganized the London Metropolitan Police Force, and the introduction of the Police Pensions Act in 1890, which improved the living conditions and benefits for police officers and their families. Eykyn's dedication to the police extended beyond his political role. He was an active member of the Metropolitan Police Force Sub-Committee and the Royal Commission on the Metropolitan Police, further demonstrating his unwavering commitment to the force and its officers. This photograph, taken towards the end of Eykyn's political career, encapsulates his legacy as a champion for the police and his significant contributions to criminal justice reform during the late 19th century. The image serves as a testament to his enduring impact on British history and the importance of effective law enforcement in ensuring the safety and security of the public.
