Shakespeare used the stereotype of the bumbling policeman in a number of plays, especially Dogberry and Elbow in Measure for Measure. In Shakespeare's day constables were underpaid and undertrained and so there was more truth in the stereotype back then than there is now.
Comic relief are the stereotypes represented by the characters Dogberry, night watch constable, and Verges, Dogberry's partner, in the play Much Ado about Nothing by William Shakespeare (Baptized April 26, 1564 - April 23, 1616). The characterization is supposed to heighten comedic effects through the actions and dialogues of two bumbling law enforcers even though in reality such a depiction is inaccurate, insulting, unappreciative, and unnecessary.
