Caphiria utilizes the [[Urban Cohort]] (CU) as its principal law enforcement agency and domestic security service. Operating under the jurisdiction of the military and receiving oversight from the Office of Judiciary Enforcement within the Ministry of Justice, the CU's main goal is to protect and defend Caphiria, uphold and enforce the criminal laws of the Judiciary, and to provide leadership and criminal justice services to central, provincial, regional, and international agencies and partners.
Caphiria utilizes the [[Urban Cohort]] (CU) as its principal law enforcement agency and domestic security service. Operating under the jurisdiction of the military and receiving oversight from the Office of Judiciary Enforcement within the Ministry of Justice, the Urban Cohort is active in every major city and province throughout Caphiria with over 2 million personnel. The primary function of the Urban Cohort is to protect and defend Caphiria, ensure law and order, investigate major crimes, uphold and enforce the [[Criminal justice system of Caphiria|criminal laws of the Judiciary]], and provide leadership and criminal justice services at various levels.


The CU maintains field offices across the entirety of the Imperium and utilizes its main field agents (''vigiles'') at the provincial and local levels to conduct both major and minor criminal investigations, and hold arrest authority. The fluidity of officer jurisdictions is such that any police group can be quickly assigned elsewhere in the empire or make arrests outside their usual patrol routes. ''Vigilum'' is a relatively unreliable job for a citizen as they are hired and fired to meet present needs, with only the most natural vigiles retaining their posts.
The Urban Cohort is organized into 4 specialized divisions: the Cybercrime Cohort, the Narcotics & Organized Crime Division, the Intelligence Wing, and the Special Operations Cohort. Additionally, the Lictor Protection Division (LPD) is responsible for guarding [[Magistrates of Caphiria|Caphirian magistrates]] based on their political rank. ''Lictors'' serve dual functions: offering physical security and symbolizing civil authority. Their role is both practical, in providing protection, and symbolic, emphasizing Caphirian governance. The CU's ground operations involve two key roles: the ''oesitior'' and the ''vigilum''. ''Oesitior'', or public security officers, engage with the community, address minor infractions, and maintain daily safety. They act as the immediate point of contact for local concerns. The ''vigilum'', as field agents, investigate serious crimes and possess extended enforcement capabilities to handle intricate cases.


Magistrates are afforded personal ''Lictors ''(imperial bodyguards) from a special department of the CU according to the degree of political power possessed by their office. For example, an Imperator has 24 lictors and a Censor has 18 but a city prefect has 2. Wielding the fasces to indicate their civil authority, lictors have the power to arrest suspected criminals and kill anyone they deem a threat to their assigned magistrate.
