The Stationarius, so named for the old Roman designation for military troops assigned to policing duties, is the Republic’s principle national law-enforcement agency. The Stationarius (officially, the Cohortes Stationarii) are a military force, with its officers and men holding Legion commissions and appointments, and as such the Stationarius comes under the jurisdiction of both the Praetor Militum and the Praetor Urbanus, in keeping with Republican ideals on shared power. The Stationarius is responsible for providing law enforcement services on public land, such as highways, providing law enforcement services to rural areas and municipalities too small to have their own Vigiles (civilian police) and providing national law enforcement capabilities, such as counter-intelligence. Moreover, the Stationarius also have responsibility for policing the military, and as such members of the Stationarius regularly participate in military missions overseas. The Stationarius have law enforcement powers that can be exercised at any time and in any part of Rome, or the provinces, and are always permitted to carry their weapons as personal equipment.
Command Structure and Organisation
The Stationarius are commanded by a senior military officer, the Imperator Stationarius, supported by a staff of Legatus Princeps, each of the subordinate commands are under the charge of a Legatus, supported by a staff of senior Tribunes, with various regional or specialised Prefectures commanded by a Prefect.
The Territorial Command is responsible for each of the provincial prefectures, which are responsible for all routine law enforcement within the provinces, in accordance with the Stationarius’ jurisdiction. Each provincial command will typically consist of a number of sub-provincial cohorts, which handle the majority of policing, along with a number of specialist provincial cohorts, such as the Provincial Highways Cohort, the Provincial Special Services Cohort (which provides a wide range of capabilities such as a Bomb Century, Special Tactics Century and Marine Century), and the Provincial Investigative Century.
The National Security Command of the Stationarius is responsible for the provision of Republic-wide law enforcement capabilities, and the investigation of cross-province criminal activities which can not be adequately investigated by a single Provincial Prefecture. This includes Counter-Terrorism, Counter-Intelligence and Cyber Crime investigations, as well as being the responsible for investigation public corruption, serious violent crime and other major criminal activity. The only major crime area that the National Security Command does not investigation is financial crime, which is the responsibility of the Cohortis Aerarium (the Treasury Guard). Of all the divisions of the Stationarius, the National Security Command co-operates most with other law enforcement and intelligence services, such as local Vigiles and the Praetorian Guard.
The National Strategic Reserve Command of the Stationarius its responsible for the control of the bulk of Stationarius ‘military units’, most notably the Public Order Prefecture, which controls the Cohors Ordo Publicus (the Public Order Cohorts), which are responsible for public order, riot control and civil defence, the Tactical Response Prefecture, which controls the Cohors Responsum, which are responsible for providing quick response force services to the wider Stationarius, and the Intervention Prefecture, which controls the Cohors Interventu, the only special forces unit outside the control of the Praetorian Guard, specialising in hostage rescue and counter-terrorism).
