Maradaine Constabulary

The Maradaine Constabulary is the name of the Maradaine city police force. (It is also the name of the second trilogy in Marshall Ryan Maresca's Maradaine saga, featuring Satrine Rainey and Minox Welling.) The Constabulary is one of several key branches of Maradaine civil service. They are colloquially known as "the Green and Red" for their uniform colors, or "Sticks" for their blunt weapons. Inspectors are distinguished from patrol by their vests, and are nicknamed "specs." Many families in the civil service branches serve across generations (like the Wellings in the Constabulary), and are known as "the Devoted Families." Many of them live in the neighborhood of Keller Cove.

The Constabulary is organized in neighborhood Stationhouses. The roles within the Constabulary are specialized, including inspectors, footpatrol, horsepatrol, examinarium, ... A normal career path for an officer is from cadet to patrol (foot or horse) and then either promotion within patrol, or into the ranks of inspector.

The head of the Constabulary is Commissioner Wendt Enbrain.

Uniforms
Inspectors's vests are "a rich, deep green, accented with the dignified dark red." They wear a belt with a crossbow holster. (There should also be a place to attach their handsticks.) (Minox wears a leather overcoat - is this standard for specs?) Boots are standard.

Constables have coats of green and red. Women in the Constabulary usually wear skirts.

Whistles
The Constabulary make heavy use of whistles in their work. They are used to summon nearby officers to a disturbance, signal Riot Calls (an all-hands call), summon pages to deliver messages across the city, and like sirens to clear a path through the streets such as on a Whistle Gallop when mounted.
