When the Royal Air Force left Hendon in the 1960s , the Metropolitan Police decided to rebuild the college , and the new Peel Centre , named after Sir Robert Peel , was opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 31 May 1974 , forty years to the day after her uncle opened the original Metropolitan Police College . The Queen has returned twice since then , on the 21 October 2001 when she dedicated the memorial to Metropolitan Police officers and staff who have lost their lives on duty , and on 3 January 2005 when she went to visit the Casualty Bureau dealing with British nationals missing after the Asian tsunami
