Just because they found a whistle does not mean it was purely a battlefield piece. Perhaps whistles were used by soldiers on 'police duty' within a city ~ just like our 'modern' concept of police.
Although at the moment I do not recall any surviving written evidence for whistles being used specifically by soldiers in such a role..?
