The patrols are managed by elder patrol guards who withdrew from active service. Typically, every district has one guard captain and two or three lieutenants. They plan the routes and allocate patrol guards to them, based on the amount of criminal activity that was observed.Investigators
Investigators are women of any age who examine crime scenes, question witnesses and interrogate suspects, and draw conclusions from the collected forensic evidence. They are typically called in when the culprit escaped or an "accident" looks suspiciosly non-accidental.Compliance Enhancer
When a suspect refuses to answer the investigator's questions, the latter calls in a man trained in physical compliance enhancement - or, to put it bluntly, torture methods. Those methods can range from a simple beating to the skillful application of pain-inducing devices or substances. Typically, the suspect's social status dictates what methods are deemed appropriate.Public Agenda
The city guards protect the population within larger settlements. They also assist with threats in nearby towns and villages when needed. This way, they make sure that every normal citizen can work and enjoy their spare time without worrying about criminals.
