I am doing a story set in Marigund and I need a name for the city Watch. These people are the combination poilice/fire dept of the city. Just calling them the City Watch seems a little bland. Anyone have a good name I can call them? I have concidered calling them the police or the cops.

Use something that has a historical quality to it. By that I mean, a name that would have derived from Marigund's historical development. Like the Praetorian Guard of Rome.
Perhaps the city watch of Marigund began as a group of hired men to protect some class of citizens (be they nobility, or merchants, or what not, it depends on the nature of Marigund). Their name would likely be based on who it was they were protecting and to what end. Then, as time passed, they became not only protectors of this group of people, but more and more the protectors of the entire city.
That's just one thought on how such a group could organically develop. It should give you some ideas on what kind of a name to look for, I hope.
