Formally known as the "Home Guard," most call them by this less ostentatious sobriquet. They are responsible for maintaining law and order in Paridon, and enforcing the will of the City Council?.

Individual constables are identifiable by their tall, slightly-domed black caps, knee-length black jackets, high, stiff collars and truncheons. When on patrol constables wear an "alarm whistle" around their necks, although patrolmen are rarely found wandering Paridon's streets, except in more posh neighborhoods like Lorings Grid and Adel Square?. There, if they cannot be seen, they can be heard shouting the hours, accompanied by "ALL'S WELL!"

Presuming that all is well, of course.
