Various people have quoted examples from British history.
You might also consider the Roman practice, of which a good fictional treatment is the Falco series by Lindsey Davis. Official law enforcement is in the hands of the vigiles, who started out as firemen but also have a role in dealing with crime. There are also the 'private eyes', informers, who may work either for private individuals or people in government in any given case.
