The [[Office of the Courts (Faneria)|Office of the Courts]] manages trials and provides its own bailiffs except when additional security is requested from the National Police. Provincial governments locally command detachments of the National Police for dedicated emergency response, with municipalities having their own local police departments to handle day-to-day affairs and county jails. | ||

====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. | |||
====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. | |||
