Throughout Xin are the massed ranks of the Constables the police men of Xin who keep law and order both in the grand imperial cities and the far flung colonies. Even the autonomous states have Constables (As they are not allowed to collect their own taxes or have their own police force)

The Standard uniform of a constable for ceremonies is a dark blue robe with a red conical hat. When on duty they wear the same robe with white leggings, paper armor pieces, and don't wear a hat instead they have their hair in a neat bun.

Constables as well as being police and guards are tax collectors, administrators of justice and law, and can also settle minor disputes.

The Standard gear of a Constable is a pair of wooden clappers, a small club or a bo staff, and a assortment of hand cuffs and other tools.

Above a Constable is the Dibao who manages the legal affairs of a hundred (Other ranks of Dibao exist for country, prefecture,and provincial Dibaos). A Dibao is in a way a judge, tax collector, and head of the police force in his area they are also detectives (They work closely with the Jinyiwei). Dibao has a sister rank called Shoubao for military matters.

Above all of this are Prefects who are the heads of a well prefectures legal system and in most cases the final judge of a case.

Recruiting wise most Constables come from poorer families who want a good stable Imperial job but not one in the administrative or military realms. Females may also be Constables.
