The Inspectors Service (Magian:検査官の役), often referred to simply as the Inspectors, is the law enforcement arm of the Seigi Kaikan of Magia Regnum. The Inspectors Service is further divided between the Inspection Department and Detention Bureau.
History
The Seigi Kaikan was established in the aftermath of the Renaissance in Magia Regnum. As the society shifted away from a purely military-centric state, there was a growing need for a dedicated institution to uphold justice and maintain order within the rapidly changing society. The Seigi Kaikan was envisioned as a collective body responsible for overseeing the nation's military forces and law enforcement agencies, ensuring that the power was distributed among its members to prevent any one individual from holding complete control over the nation's security matters. As part of the Seigi Kaikan's comprehensive reform, two branches were established; the Sentinel Service and Inspectors Service. The Inspectors service was created to handle criminal investigations and maintain law and order. This specialized unit was tasked with conducting thorough and impartial investigations into various crimes and ensuring that justice was served. The democratization of the legislative process, represented by the Tate-Shōsū, played a crucial role in shaping the development of the Inspectors Service. As representatives from the Tate-Shōsū were elected by the people and had an equal vote in the decision-making process, the Inspectors Service had to be accountable to this body in its operations in enforcement of it's laws. The legislative body ensured that the Inspectors Service remained fair, impartial, and transparent in its approach to law enforcement.
Duties and Role
The Inspectors Service is thoughtfully organized into two distinct divisions, each with its specific responsibilities and duties. The Inspection Department forms one integral part of the service, taking on the vital role of conducting thorough investigations into criminal activities, potential threats, and other law-related matters. These skilled investigators are trained to delve into the most intricate and complex cases, seeking to uncover the truth and bring perpetrators to justice.

The Shuryō is chosen from among the members of the Seigi Kaikan by the Haimajika, ensuring that the individual selected possesses the necessary merit and dedication to fulfill the critical role of safeguarding the realm. At the top of the national government, under the Shuryō, the Judicial Commission acts as an oversight body, monitoring the activities of law enforcement agencies, including the detention divisions. It ensures that inspections, detainment procedures, and other law enforcement actions comply with magical laws and respect the rights of magical beings. The Judicial Commission may provide legal guidance to law enforcement agencies to ensure they operate within the bounds of magical law.

The Detention Bureau, an integral part of the magical policing organization, operates with a meticulously structured hierarchy to ensure the secure containment of malevolent magical entities. At its helm of any facility is the Kantoku (監督), or Warden, a highly experienced and skilled magical girl responsible for overseeing all detention operations. The Warden establishes detention protocols, prioritizes detainee security, and implements policies to prevent any escapes or breaches that could endanger the enchanted realm.
