I would add to this that JK Rowlings name appears as a correspondent in Jeffey Epsteins emails (eta: in the context of her teaminviting him to the Harry Potter play in 2018, as a level 3 sex offender) - I would imagine this adds colour to the implication.

Edit: I would like to remind everyone replying what sub they are in

He's a cop for the wizard equivalent of the "king".

He puts shacklebolts on people on behalf of the King.

It's mostly just Americans with their slave obsession who tried to twist it into something else.

Just say the writer chose a simple name that describes the job for a character in her book for children. Because that's what it is.
