The Royal Quasitores is the national police service of the nation of Orun Redisus. 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 Orun Redisan Armed Forces. The National Police Division, the Municipal Police Board, and the Border Patrol and Security Division are all under the umbrella of the Quasitoré. The force takes direction from the Director of Interior, who in turn takes direction from the King of Orun Redisus, and the Inspector General, who answers to the High Commander. Both officials provide oversight in different aspects of the force with the Director handling the civilian component of the force's operations while the military handles day to day operations, staffing, equipment, and assignments. The unit's mandate comes from the Law Enforcement Order passed by the Assembly in 1808, which outlines its mandate and mission.
Structure
Royal Quesitores
The Quesitores is the national component of the Police. Directly overseen by the military and trained to a similar level as professional soldiers, these officers are responsible for enforcing Royal Laws that are in effect on a national level. They also maintain a significant presence in the frontier regions of Orun. The National Ranger Service, who oversees the vast areas of protected wilderness in Orun, is also a branch under the umbrella of the Royal Quesitores.
Quesitores officers also serve to enforce traffic laws on crown maintained highways and handle jurisdictions in which Municipal Police are superseded, such as the Capital. Quesitores officers will be typically called in to assist local police forces in dealing with terrorism or hostage rescue situations. In the event of an invasion by foreign powers, officers are also capable of being called up as soldiers. Other key duties include overseeing municipal police forces that are undergoing restructuring after a corruption investigation and even taking over police duties for high crime areas. Quesitores officers may also be called to major gatherings of people to assist the local municipal police in managing security at the event.
National Ranger Service
The National Ranger Service serves as protection and enforcement for national parks, nature reserves, and other protected wilderness areas in Orun Redisus. Though they answer to Quesitores commanders, they are considered apart of the branch. Ranger Service authority also supersedes the authority of all other law enforcement while on a reserve or in a park. Rangers are also equipped to protect population centers near reserves where larger predators reside, though such predators tend to be elusive and keep to themselves.
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.
Border Patrol and Security Division
The second largest branch of the Quasitores, the Border Patrol and Security Division is responsible for policing ports, airports, and land borders that lead into Tarsas. The BPSD has significant authority within their jurisdiction to search luggage and possessions, check documents, patrol border regions, and even make arrests if an individual looks suspicious or dangerous. The BPSD has some of the most advanced equipment of any of the Quasitores branches in order to combat terrorism and other threats before it reaches the country. They are most infamously known for their aggressive patrols of the Scipian border with Almadis with infrared camera gear aboard vehicles, drones, and aircraft. Thousands of migrants from Scipia are found and deported this way, provided they are not given temporary asylum. BPSD officers are trained and armed as professional soldiers in order to provide maximum security for key sites such as airports. There are non lethally armed officers, which handle tasks such as baggage checks and interfacing with travelers in customs, and lethally armed officers which handle security within airports and deal with disturbances or threats.
