Command Directorate

Responsible for maintaining the discipline, internal standards, and strategic direction of the constabulary.

Investigations Directorate

The Investigations Directorate acquires and develops intelligence, usually of a political or sensitive nature, and conducts investigations to protect the State from perceived threats of subversion and other extremist political activity.

Territorial Directorate

The Territorial Directorate is responsible for policing and security matters across seven territorial divisions corresponding to the states and districts of Hurmu. The majority of resources and manpower are assigned to the territorial divisions which operate circuits within their areas of responsibility.

The Territorial Directorate also maintains liaison offices with local realm law enforcement agencies within their respective division areas.

Duties

The duties of the Hurmu Constabulary, set out in a memorandum issued by the Minister for Policing and Security on 1.X.1690 was:

  1. Defend the Hanwen u-Brida (Way of Life), by:
    • Delivering writs of summons to named individuals, issued by the Senate or by magistrates appointed in their name;
      • And by detaining such persons who, having been in receipt of a writ of summons issued by the Senate or by magistrates appointed in their name, has not responded to the summons within the allotted time allowed or at the appropriate place;
    • Detaining persons, whose names need not be known at the time of their detention, who, in a violent or riotous manner, distrupt the Brida or else endanger the lives of others or themselves;
  2. Enforce Hurmu nationality and residency law;
  3. Uphold the visa policy of Hurmu;
  4. Provide support for the Allied Reconstruction Mission in Hurmu;

  6. Provide for the security of:
  7. Provide for the protection and safety of members of the Order of the Holy Lakes while they are present within the sovereign territory, territorial waters, or air space, of Hurmu.

These duties were reaffirmed in 1724 AN, with the exception of the seventh duty, as this mission had been relinquished to the Hurmu Fyrð following the civil war.

History

On 11.III.1719 the Minister for Policing and Security, Ramzan Q̇adar Khan Abakhtari, declared that the Hurmu Constabulary, as it was then constituted, was an illegal corporate and Humanist militia operating under the guise of a police force. At the minister's direction, the trade union movement, as an emergency measure, received ministerial authorisation to deputise their members as auxiliary constables with orders to peacefully take possession of all buildings, infrastructure, and equipment under the nominal possession of the Hurmu Constabulary and to assume responsibility for the maintenance of civic peace and good order in the districts and states of Hurmu. The minister further directed that members of the Constabulary were to surrender their armaments and warrant badges and withdraw from all involvement in public life, pending interview by appointed investigators for links to extremist groups and corporate militias. Members of the constabulary exonerated from any such associations would subsequently be rehired following a period of retraining in critical legal theory and social awareness. For the duration of the evaluation process, members of the constabulary were to remain at their recorded places of primary residence, during which time they were to be considered suspended from duty and on half pay.

In spite of the best efforts of the deputised trade union volunteers, the period during which the Hurmu Constabulary was stood down was generally considered to be a chaotic one, marred by lawlessness in the peripheral regions and politically motivated factional violence within the cities. The reputation of the new government, and the Minister for Policing and Security accordingly suffered greatly during this time.

By 12.XIII.1719, the Ministry for Policing and Security announced that 22,518 officers had been discharged from the Hurmu Constabulary for collusion with foreign powers, abuses of office, and corrupt associations with corporate bodies. 11,856 officers remained on half-pay pending the completion of critical community relations and legal theory training. 78,214 officers, including former auxiliaries, had been rehired as full time constables.

The organisation of the constabulary was severely disrupted by the 1719–1720 Hurmu civil conflict and thus, whilst the victorious Senatorial faction was obliged to purge the more flagrantly partisan officers, it was felt prudent to leave the system implemented by Ramzan in place.

As of 1724 AN, the active strength of the Hurmu Constabulary had reduced to the point that there was an officer to citizen ratio of 1:464.

Uniform

The uniform of an officer in the Hurmu Constabulary initially comprised of a beaver-fur cap, a navy blue waxed-denim single-breasted tunic worn over a white shirt, black woollen trousers, and brown leather riding boots. A black leather shearling lambskin jacket could be worn by officers of the rank of County Inspector 3rd Class, whilst a woollen greatcoat, dyed navy blue, was issued to all ranks to be worn in inclement weather.

By 1714 AN, following the rapid growth of the force over the previous twenty years, a degree of variability had seeped into the once standard uniform. Peaked forage caps had begun to be accepted as head gear, and non-standard tunics and trousers, influenced by regional availability, had begun to appear. And there had been instances where the mandated beaver pelts, used for lining headwear and garments, had been replaced by the fur of sub-boreal foxes.

Former training

Initial training for the volunteers inducted into the Constabulary was undertaken by officers seconded from the the 12th and 22nd Kalisa Rrumëli Field Battalions at Vesüha during the initial formation period (1690 AN – 1691 AN) with a training section established to assume responsibility for the basic training of recruits thereafter.

In-house training was supplemented after 1700 AN by dispatching cadets selected from the children of the Southern District to Tiegang so as to study at the School of the High Inquisitor of Tiegang. Cadets were selected at the age of seven by officers of the Southern District Assistance Board from amongst the orphans being dispatched from the Southern District to serve as apprentices to the Eastern Ulus of the Silver Yak Horde in Lontinien. Of the twelve boys sent in 1700 AN only two, by dint of having falsified papers giving their age as being nine years old, were accepted by the School with the remaining ten being obliged to serve as pot boys in the Blackfriars' Redux and receive a measure of schooling from the staff Saint Richard's Asylum.

Recruits for the Special Auxiliary Constabulary were obliged to furnish their own mounts and riding gear, with remounts and repairs to equipment being a claimable expense.
