Oh, of course, my friend. During Shakespeare's time, there were constables and Watchmen who helped maintain order in the streets. They may not have looked exactly like the police officers we have today, but they were there to ensure the safety of the community. It's fascinating to see how things have evolved over time, isn't it?

What was the job of a constable in Shakespeare's time?
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.
