Ankh-Morpork City Watch

The Ankh-Morpork City Watch is the police force of the fictional city of Ankh-Morpork in the Discworld series of fantasy novels by the English writer Terry Pratchett. Eight of the Discworld novels are concerned with the adventures of the City Watch and its commander Sam Vimes. In order of publication, they are Guards! Guards!, Men at Arms, Feet of Clay, Jingo, The Fifth Elephant, Night Watch, Thud! and Snuff. The Watch is also to be the subject of a police procedural television series in development as of 2013, entitled The Watch. Pratchett's Watch has been described as part of a longstanding fantasy tradition where the characters of the city watch would "rush in and die, or run away", with Pratchett's approach to that tradition ranging from parody in the earlier novels to "deeper satire" in the later ones.
