...and those are two police forces that work for the same people for the same reasons. In a feudal setting, or any other with multiple power centres, things can be far worse. You could, for example, have "law enforcement" personnel working for the Church, the City, the Crown and a local noble, all in one location, none of whom share the same chain of command or agenda (except in the broadest terms) and may have long standing rivalries even if there is no conflict between their employers. And that is
before they get off duty and start drinking.
