Bodies are a key player in the operations of Cities, and the Bureau of Security’s responsibility is keeping the amount of bodies in a City high. Though, it’s the employer’s job to keep an eye on their employees and make sure they make it home safely so they can come back to work the next day. The Bureau of Security is more concerned with bigger threats to City safety.

Executives

The Bureau of Security will often carry out orders from the Mayor and his cabinet, but the Bureau of Security also possesses autonomy, especially in emergency situations where the overhead of communication is too slow.

The Advisor of Security, though a member of the Mayor’s cabinet, is at the top of the Bureau’s chain of command.

Following the Advisor is the Commissioner of the Wall and Commissioner of the Interior that cooperates with other bureaucratic bodies, and sometimes Associations and corporations, to fulfill the duties of the Bureau of Security in their respective divisions. They operate on the same plane in the chain of command, but the demands of the Wall’s security wildly differs from the demands of the Interior’s security. These are also the people that get to press the red button when emergency situations arise in their respective areas.

Ranks

The Bureau of Security is loosely organized, with Centurion organizing orders that come from the executive side of things and carrying them out, while the Corporal and Officer below them carry out the orders from Centurions.

Centurion

Commanders of their respective Security teams. They give out the orders to suppress threats, though they are far from pen-pushers; most Centurions are also quite capable of putting themselves into combat situations and coming out victorious.

Corporal

Corporals are of a higher status than Officers, but their rank simply indicates a capacity for battle and suppression, not necessarily that they have the skills to lead, although they often lead small-scale forces in suppression, especially when their Centurion is not present physically or virtually.

Officer

The grunt of the Authority. Not that this makes the screening to become an Officer any easier. Officers, and to an extent, Corporals are expected to:

• Handle screening at Gates, performing contraband checks and, to many Officers’ dismay, discern whether Manifestations are sapient enough to overcome City Walls. Mostly a probationary duty.
• Watch for threats and call alarms atop Walls, while also holding Manifestations and other threats back before specialized kill-teams arrive. Mostly a probationary duty.
• Get deployed in said kill-teams to suppress threats.
• Handle Warrens breaches by evacuating citizens.
• They are NOT police. Chivalry is something Officers rarely concern themselves with, and often times getting involved with violence in the City and not knowing why it’s happening ends poorly for the interloper.
