HEAT and BLUES would also be terms for the cops.

RAPID SPRING FALL and DRAW are all to do with water.

I could have a stab if JAZZ was either a term for the police or a sports team

All righty:
The rozzers: HEAT, FUZZ, FILTH, JAZZ
Precede with night: LIGHT, FALL, WATCH, VISION
Bodies of water: SPRING, RAPID, DRAW, SOUND
Sports teams: MAGIC, SPURS, BABYLON, BLUES

Mu Beta Posted Sep 5, 2009
...and one of the categories isn't quite right, either, actually.

Mu Beta Posted Sep 7, 2009
Yup, can't fault that.
I think we'll go for 5 points for Beatrice, 2 for Ekky, and one each for not-so-bald-eagle and Clive.

Nice one, B, the juxtaposition of SPRING-FALL and JAZZ-BLUES were clever distractors
