The Federal Police is the generalist criminal law enforcement arm and investigative agency of the Kiravian federal government. It is the default investigative authority for criminal cases that enter federal jurisdiction (e.g. by crossing provincial boundaries or involving an issue of federal authority such as banking) but are not within the remit of a more specialised agency (e.g. the Federal Forest Police). The Federal Police also provide support services to specialist federal agencies and provincial police, and provide ordinary policing services at the subnational level by statute or by contract. The agency is subordinate to the Territorial Executive, Department of the Emperor's Peace.

Mission

Criminal Investigation

Most criminal law enforcement in Kiravia is at the provincial level or below, and more specialised federal agencies provide ordinary police services on federal lands (e.g. Forest Police in Federal Forests, Military Police on military bases) and protective and investigative services to federal institutions (e.g. Diplomatic Security Service, Stanoral Guard). For all other crimes that enter federal purview, there is the Federal Police.

  • Spatial jurisdiction
    • Domestic crime traversing provincial boundaries ("provincial diversity jurisdiction")
    • Transnational crime
    • Crime in federal airspace and (theoretically) in outer space[1]
    • Crime on federal land for which no other law enforcement agency has been specified, including (but not limited to):[2]
  • Subject-matter jurisdiction
    • Bank robberies (Kiravian banks are federally-insured)
    • Major fraud against the KF Government
    • Public corruption in which federal officials are implicated

Full-service Policing

The original mission of the Federal Police was to provide ordinary municipal police services in the District of Coīnvra, the federal capital district containing Kartika. This rôle would later be extended to the second federal district, the Interlake Canal District. During the Sunderance, the Federal Police provided the same service in the now-defunct District of Sarosten surrounding the capital-in-exile, Vaśyansar (today in North Æonara). After reunification, responsibility for policing in the District of Coīnvra was devolved to a new local administration.

Today the Federal Police provide ordinary police services in the Interlake District. They may also provide the same on a transitional or long-term basis to provinces and localities unable to meet their own policing needs, most often on account of recent establishment, sparse population, and/or extreme environmental conditions. In some Kiravian mainland provinces without statehood, such as Itaho-Falkaria, local constabularies exist but the Federal Police assume the role normally played by provincial police.

Capacity Building and Specialist Support

Divisions

Organised Crime

The Organised Crime Division (Iskorvitheskra Iskorvibalvsk) is concerned with the activities of organised criminal syndicates, primarily the major ethnic crime families, prison gangs, and outlaw motorcycle clubs. Organised crime is a major problem in Kiravia, and efforts to combat it were central to the expansion of the Federal Police and its transformation from a glorified municipal police department into a sophisticated national investigative agency. The Organised Crime Division carries out intensive, often years- or even decades-long investigations of criminal groups through surveillence, infiltration, and the recruitment of informants, in order to gather evidence for mass prosecutions under the Racketeering Act and related legislation.

Counternarcotics

The Counternarcotic Division (Dutrasopovix Iskorvitheskra) exists to combat the illegal drug trade by disrupting its logistical networks and apprehending middle- and high-level participants. It has amassed an enviable inventory of confiscated psychoäctive contraband.

Armaments & Explosives

The Armaments & Explosives Division (Iskorvitheskra Dirdhūistul u Hegorstakôrsk) aims to stop things from going boom, often by making things go boom.

Counterterrorism

The Counterterrorism Division (Dutrabinladevix Iskorvitheskra) investigates terroristic threats of national significance and unlawful activities by ideological radicals and organised extremist or anti-government groups. Its work is complementary to that of the Domestic Security Agency, with which it is supposed to coöperate. The DSA invests heavily in "background intelligence" and makes extensive use of open-source methods and long-term infiltration, whereas the Counterterrorism Division is more concerned with near-term threats and relies on conventional surveillence and informants. The DSA is also focussed exclusively on organisations, whereas the Counterterrorism Division also concerns itself with "lone wolves".

Human Trafficking

The Human Trafficking Division works to dismantle human[3] trafficking networks. Its targets are often lower-profile and further down the supply chain than those of the Organised Crime and Transnational Affairs divisions.

Specialist Operations

Probably fake.

Support Capability

Does nothing important.

District Operations

The District Operations Division is responsible for detachments assigned to provide ordinary policing services to particular areas of the Federacy, such as the Interlake Canal District. It is the oldest division but among the least prestigious, and government reports have noted that officers from other divisions are commonly transferred to District Operations as a form of punishment or constructive dismissal.

Facilities

The Federal Police is headquartered in Kartika's D-District. It maintains a large campus in Spantrasar, Co. Sergion, Hanoram, that houses the agency's capital region field office, main training facility, and central ballistics and explosives laboratory, among other things. A significant number of FP personnel remain at the Sunderance-era headquarters in Vaśyansar.

Notes

  1. On the basis of the Emperor's authority as a universal monarch, the Extraplanetary Legal Foundations Act establishes a criminal code for Kiravian spaceflight, and designates the Federal Police as the competent investigative authority for violations and the default civilian police power.
  2. More specialised police forces patrolling federal lands include the Federal Forest Police (federal forests), Federal Pasture Police (federal pastures), Federal Park Police (federal parks &c.), military police (military reservations and other Defence Executive lands), Maritime Cutter Service (federally-owned offshore islands).
  3. Kikparis not included.
