Assembly of Sheriffs
The Assembly of Sheriffs is the foundation of jurisprudence in the Kingdom of Recfrere. All professional law enforcement agents are members of this Assembly, responsible for enforcing civilian law throughout the entire nation. The Grand Sheriff oversees all of the affairs and audits the performance of the sheriffs and judges that serve underneath his or her position. The Assembly is responsible for both enforcing the national laws of the king and nation, in addition to the regional minor laws passed by individual towns and communities.
Structure
The lowest level of the Assembly consists of the judges and guards appointed by the Sheriffs who are elected in every town they serve within. The sheriffs themselves all report to the Grand Sheriff located in the Recfreran capital of Viracocha, where the primary administration takes place. The Grand Sheriff is a position held for life by its incumbents, and when they die, they are selected by the sheriffs from among their own ranks. The King of Recfrere is also allowed to participate in the vote, and occasionally acts as a the deciding member in the case of a tie.
Public Agenda
The Assembly of Sheriffs seeks the open and equal enforcement of all laws of the Kingdom of Recfrere. They are against organized crime and smuggling, constantly seeking to root out any forms of corruption. They have some influence over mayors and the Towns' Assembly, as the Sheriffs have in the past been known to use their position to oust mayors hostile to their own interests through fabrication of corruption claims. The current agenda of the Assembly of Sheriffs however is to root out corruption wherever it rests, even within their own ranks.
Assets
The Assembly of Sheriffs is the organization that maintains the funding and defense of many towns and cities throughout the Kingdom of Recfrere. While individual mayors may operate or train their own militias, they lean heavily upon the local sheriffs to provide the officers and training that the militia require. The sheriffs therefore often collect their own taxes from the communities they serve in order to provide defense and law enforcement appropriate to their jurisdictions. Some of the towns have high taxes, other low, and every sheriff has at their disposal the best trained cadre of armed individuals in any Recfreran urban area.
