Law enforcement in Tyreseia functions on a mixture of traditional policing and community policing. Tyreseia's laws are based on {{wp|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 (Tyreseia)|Republican Guard]].

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. Constabulary services typically consist of largely part-time patrol officers and full-time detectives. These detectives are often law enforcement veterans that go through extensive re-schooling to prepare them for investigatory work. They are quick to arrive at scenes of crimes following identification and closure by constables, and are trained to investigate the matter and bring evidence before the courts, if enough is found to make a trial possible. In some areas of minor infractions, constables and public safety officers alike are empowered to let off offenders with a non-binding citation. Though these citations in and of themselves do not compel court appearances or payment of fines, they may still be appealed and struck from appellants' records in court.
 
Constables are typically part-time to allow them both to contribute to their previous careers and to engender a sense of community responsibility and connection. Such practices are often lauded for allowing the mediation of legal disputes and troubles that might have otherwise gone to court. Smaller communes in geographically isolated places often resort to contracting with the Republican Guard to fulfill constabulary duties. The most common motivation is a lack of able-bodied people to work such a force, perhaps due to a labor shortage or a sheer lack of population in general. In such cases, Republican Guards constables are re-rolled into the Guards Local Constabluary Service. While in the community, they will work as full-time law enforcement to lower the number of personnel needed. Many communes will compensate the Guard financially in lieu of putting up tax revenue for their own constabulary service. This practice is rather common, and some rural locales will even share Republican Guard units between them to save on cost.

==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.
