Law and Order
First and foremost you are the legal representation for the station's crew, as such you are expected to have superior knowledge of corporate law. It is recommended to enforce a clean and secure security department as this is a reflection of you as well. While Internal Affairs Agents are vested with these responsibilities, they have zero authority over the Brig, Security personnel, Prisoners, or sentencing. They can be barred from the Brig by the Magistrate, HoS, Warden, or Captain if they are disruptive. And they may be demoted if they continue to be disruptive.
Sentencing, and what you should look for.
- Sentencing of under 10 minutes is the responsibility of the arresting officer
- The Prisoner's charges must be read to them in front of the Warden or Head of Security.
- Crimes are to be considered 'stackable' in the sense that if you charge someone with two or more different crimes, you may combine the times you would give them for each crime.
- The first repeat adds 3 minutes, the second 6 minutes, and the third may permit permanent confinement.
The Magistrate acts as the highest court, and is the appointed Judge of any case that goes to trial. Should the Magistrate be unavailable, the Head of Security, Head of Personnel, or Captain may act in their stead. In cases where one of these mediators or their subordinates is directly involved, they should not be acting as Judge over the case. For example, if an Internal Affairs Agent is on trial, the Magistrate and Head of Security should not act as Judge. If a Security Officer is on trial, the Head of Security should not act as Judge. And if a member of Service is on trial, the Head of Personnel should not act as Judge.
Every part of the station in totality is the property of NanoTrasen and falls within the jurisdiction of CentComm to enforce Corporate Law. Central Command and the Space Port that the Arrivals Shuttle docks to, including the Arrivals Shuttle and Evac Shuttles, are also within CentComm's jurisdiction. CentComm also has authority through contractual agreements to enforce Corporate Law on all Automated Trade Shuttles.
Auditing Departments
While Internal Affairs Agents are responsible for investigating other departments, they do not have authority over them.
Department investigations or "audits" may be carried out once the paperwork and id access is approved, audits should not interfere with the operations of the department. Should a violation be found, you must included it along with the initial report if applicable. All violations are to be sent in a concise forum to your superior or the Captain, failure to correct these issues may warrant CentComm intervention.
While you are expected to have superior knowledge on corporate law, you should have familiarized yourself with the standard operating procedures of said department before starting your audit. If you are not confident doing an audit "solo" you can always ask for help!
Central Command and You
Before communicating with CentComm, you should have:
- Addressed the issues with the Magistrate, NTR, or Captain. (unless said issue is pertaining to them)
- Witnessed either no corrective action, or incompetence when correcting the issue.
It is recommended when faxing Central Command to keep information concise, readable and to include what intervention you wish to receive. Failure to receive a response is likely due to poor writing, unclear or unwarranted intervention request's.
