police:
I. The entire regulations for maintaining order, etc., in a city: *securitatis urbanae cura, custodia, tutela: cf. Vell. 2, 98, init.
II. The officials: no term exactly corresponding to Eng., the duties of our police being distributed: night p., vĭgĭles, Suet. Aug. 30: their controlling officer, praefectus vigilum, Dig. 1, 15: by day, the lictors and apparitors of the magistrates acted as a kind of police (v. Smith's Dict. Ant. s. vv.): also the vigiles had certain day duties, as for example, to keep watch over the clothes of bathers, Paul. Dig. 1, 15, 3 § 5: the care of the markets under the emperors was assigned to the Praefectus urbis, Ulp. Dig. 1, 12, 1 § 11 (originally under the aediles and their officials): the infliction of punishments devolved upon the triumviri capitales (v. Dict. Ant. s. v.): and all these terms may serve in their place. N.B.--Perhaps the best word for gen. use is vigiles.
