Hi,
No, not many. Their job was to stop fights between diggers and enforce the law. They weren't liked by the diggers because if the diggers did not have their licence they would be sent to gaol (Jail), hanged or given the cat-o-nine tails and their gold was taken.
The diggers called them Joes, Traps or Trappers.
Hope this helps. Let me know if I can help anymore.
