The Tarsan Quasitores is the national police service of the nation of Tarsas. It is an organization of significant size and has duties ranging from road traffic control to anti-terrorism. The organization is one of four branches of the Imperial Tarsan Armed Forces. The Imperial Cultural Preservation Division, the Municipal Police Board, and the Border Patrol and Security Division are all under the umbrella of the Gendarme. The force takes direction from the Minister of Interior, who in turn takes direction from the Magistros, and the Lieutenant General, who answers to the Megas Domestikos. Both officials provide oversight in different aspects of the force with the Minister handling the civilian component of the force's operations while the military handles day to day operations, staffing, equipment, and assignments. The Hellenic Gendarme is backed by Imperial Decree, which was issued in 1854, and acts as the force's mandate.

Structure

Municipal Police Board

The Municipal Police Board is directly managed by the civilian leadership of the force. Military oversight is provided but this particular branch is mostly comprised of local municipal police forces in each of the 620 Bandon. Though the Board provides direct oversight and keeps police forces accountable, municipal police maintain a significant amount of autonomy and answer to a local elected official known as the Domestikos. Each Domestikos is responsible for overall management of day to day affairs in each municipal police force. Funding for these local police are paid for by local taxes collected by each Banner Council but usage of these funds are monitored through yearly audits conducted by the Municipal Police Board on each force. Police forces found to be mismanaging funds receive greater oversight by the Board. In cases of full on corruption, the Imperial Quasitores are called in to fully investigate and restructure the corrupt force.

The MPB also provides equipment lists and handles procurement of vehicles and gear for local police forces. Since 2008, a significant part of its equipment budget has been going towards the "Next Generation Policing Initiative", giving law enforcement technologies for more effective surveillance and crime prevention. Municipal Police currently do not manage any prisons and run local jails in their own jurisdictions. These jails are permitted to house inmates for sentences lasting no longer than six months. They also serve as holding cells for those awaiting trial before a judge.
