My sources are far more reliable than Wikipedia
1. History of Police produced Hendon Police College
2. The Queens Peace by David Ascoli 1979
3. My own police history lessons at Hendon
Anyone can write anything they want on Wikipedia without it being challenged.
For the record I've never heard anyone refer to the London River police as the first police force.
And if you read that article on wiki about the Bow Street Runners you'll see that it supports exactly what I wrote.
