A city spanning band of officers plucked from other precincts on a strictly volunteer basis willing and able to provide on call security for events, for bar close, for the winter market, and similar high profile engagements. He tends to be pretty picky, selecting officers less for their clean records and good conduct as for their ability to keep their mouths shut and follow orders. | It was his idea to create the Dogwatch.
