Sir Edward Richard Henry, 1st Baronet GCVO KCB CSI (26 July, 1850 – 19 February, 1931) was the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis (head of the Metropolitan Police of London) from 1903 to 1918.
His commission saw the introduction of police dogs to the force (a development which he regarded with good will), but he is best remembered today for his championship of the method of fingerprinting to identify criminals.
Early life
Henry was born at Shadwell, London, UK to Irish parents; his father was a doctor. He studied at St Edmund's College, Ware, Hertfordshire, and at sixteen he joined Lloyds of London as a clerk. More on [ Edward Henry ]
