Constables were and are police officers. In Shakespeare's time they were unpaid officers of the parish (sort of a volunteer police force) with powers to investigate crime, to arrest those found committing crimes and to bring them before a justice to have charges laid and, in most cases, disposed of. Because these officers were unpaid and, for the most part, untrained, they were not the cream of the crop. The constables Dogberry in Much Ado About Nothing and Elbow in Measure for Measure are humourously dimwitted, but that probably has a basis in fact. England would not see a full-time, paid police force until the early nineteenth century.
