Paracops
There’s nothing truly centralized in Carcasse. Law Enforcement, Courts, and Prisons are all an unending and byzantine web of (multiple) private and (multiple) local union influences all claiming authority. But nothing has the weight of the actual Kuvava itself.
The Kuvava cannot assert itself so brazenly onto the spider’s den that is the local autonomy of the city. Instead the Boroughs, Cults, Unions, and Townships all turn to hiring Paralegal Agencies to enforce law an order.
Paracops, one such Paralegal Agency, are a mix between Hired Thugs, Private Investigators, and also Beat Cops. It depends on their contract. The vast majority of Paracops are freelance and work paycheck to paycheck, job to job, although some Paracops have more longer lasting contracts and act more like a proper Police Force for a certain Borough or Faction.
Notes
- There are other ‘Paralegal’ agencies that offer other services like Prosecutors/Lawyers, Firefighters, EMS, etc.
- Paracops generally have a bad reputation in the city and are seen as little more than Mercenaries. Maybe you can help turn this around and prove ponies wrong?
- There’s no such thing as a clean Paracop. Maybe you’ll be the first? :D
