====Sheriffs==== | ====Sheriffs==== | ||
Counties employ their own police forces called Sheriffs; however, these are employed, not elected, and do not have deputization powers. Most counties have a contracted Head Sheriff and an elected Commissioner responsible for enforcing civilian oversight of the police. Sheriffs are allowed to supply their own long guns, but otherwise are limited to the same arms available to most civilians, and are responsible for day-to-day activity and first response as well as soaking up domestic disturbances and other low-profile calls. County police respond to the Municipal Council of multi-county cities or the County Taeseac in single-county cities or rural counties. Previously, they responded to the Mayor of their counties, but the swap to Taeseac control was made in 2004 in response for civilian lobbying for police oversight and constant police complaints about jurisdiction within major metropolitan areas. | Counties employ their own police forces called Sheriffs; however, these are employed, not elected, and do not have deputization powers.

==== Municipal Offices ==== | |||
In addition to Sheriffs, towns and cities, especially citiies which span over more than one county, typically employ city policing forces. Municipal offices | |||
====National Police==== | ====National Police==== | ||
The National Police are organized into detachments by province, and take over roles usually reserved for SWAT squads in other countries, but generally pursue serial cases, major crimes or crimes that have become sensationalized, and major cases of fraud or other while-collar crime, as well as investigations into local police. They are more fitting of the paramilitarized standard of Occidental policing, and are rarely responsible for ticketing or other rote work. They respond to the Governor of their respective Province and the Provincial Taeseac in his absence. | The National Police are organized into detachments by province, and take over roles usually reserved for SWAT squads in other countries, but generally pursue serial cases, major crimes or crimes that have become sensationalized, and major cases of fraud or other while-collar crime, as well as investigations into local police.

==== Civil and National Guards ==== | |||
Civil and National Guard forces occasionally operate as gendarmes or mass policing forces during national disaster responses and other provincial and national emergencies; however, they do so in a supporting role to the National Police only and have no regular law enforcement duties. | |||
