Sharrow's Hold Constabulary

Sharrow's Hold is the kind of place where the authorities generally let people get on with their affairs provided they don't cause any harm to the local inhabitants and (more especially) to the merchants and traders in the town.   The Constabulary mostly exists just to make sure visitors don't overstep the mark. They monitor who comes and goes to a certain extent, but don't make a fuss about it. Constables on gate guard duty tend to mostly just tell strangers "Behave yerself in town" and "Don't use weapons or magic in town, there's always someone tougher than you !"   In total, there are around 250 uniformed constables, commanded by Captain Yar Vasha . They are mostly seen in pairs, but if there is trouble, they can easily call up squads up to a dozen strong, which will generally include at least a couple of competent spellcasters.   In addition to the uniformed constables there is a less well known group, the Vigilant Investigators. This branch are led by Commander Bernhad Rask , a half elf who is clearly a high level caster of some kind. The Vigilant Investigators are all specialists of one kind of another, and includes some very powerful Diviners. No-one is really sure how many of them there are; they wear no uniform, and are distinguished only by a silver badge showing the emblem of the Hold (which they rarely display anyway, it is usually kept in an inside pocket).  

Composition

Equipment

The Constabulary are very well uniformed, and generally smartly turned-out.  The actual uniform is a grass-green surcoat bearing the emblem of the force, quartered (from top left) red, light blue, black and royal blue, surrounded by a golden ring.   Most constables are equipped with masterwork studded leather armour, nasal cap helmets, shortswords, and truncheons. They also carry handcuffs and (personalised and attuned to each constable) wands of stunning - DC20 Fort save or stunned for 3d4 rounds. This is an electrical effect.
