Law enforcement in Tyreseia

Law enforcement in Tyreseia functions on a mixture of traditional policing and community policing. Tyreseia's laws are based on civil law; all enforceable statutes are written in law codes and must not violate the Constitution of Tyreseia in their aims. Laws passed by the federal government and local governments alike are usually enforced by part-time communal constables on a day-to-day basis; more serious offenses, like financial crime, treason, espionage and the like are under the purview of the Republican Guard.

Policing Agencies

Communes in Tyreseia are expected to provide their own law enforcement on most matters. In addition to outfitting a constabulary, communes also outfit unarmed public safety departments that deal with traffic violations, mental health emergencies, substance abuse problems, and the like. Occasionally, public safety officers and constables will work together, such as in an unstable public safety call that risks devolving into violence.

Smaller communes in geographically isolated places often resort to contracting with the Republican Guard to fulfill constabulary duties.

Judicial Proceedings

Much like its neighbor Talahara, Tyreseia's court proceedings function via an inquisitorial system.

Criticism

The practice of contracting Republican Guards to serve as rural constabulary is a frequent topic of criticism. The legality of such a practice is actually dubious, as the Tyreseian Constitution makes no provisions for communes to do so.
