Watchmen were groups of men, usually authorised by a state, government, or society, to deter criminal activity and provide law enforcement. Watchmen have existed in various guises throughout the world and were generally succeeded by the emergence of formally organised policing. An early reference to a watch can be found in the Bible where the Prophet Ezekiel) states that it was the duty of the watch to blow the horn and sound the alarm. (Ezekiel 33:1-6) The existence of watchmen have also been found[specify] in the Ottoman, Greek and Egyptian Empires[citation needed]. The Roman Empire turned the role of a watchman into a profession by creating two organizations: the Praetorian Guard thus establishing a rank and file system with a Captain of the Guard. Vigiles, literally the watch.
