In ancient Rome they didn't have a police force. What they had was essentially muscle for hire, mercenary bands paid by rich and powerful folks to do their bidding. As a regular person, the only thing that could have protected you from one of these groups was another such group.

Same today with the licensing system.

They had cohortes vigilum and cohortes urbanae in Ancient Rome. Why don’t they count as police?
