Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Description[?]:
| "The civilian police service is manned by men and women who aren't properly trained and equiped for their tasks. Their methods, though sincere, are slow and inefficient and their ethics too meek.

| Message | Completely abhorrent. This would see dramatic increase in state control. We believe in a firm stance on law and order but this is just absurd. |

| Message | "It leads to a more respected role for the military in Hutorian society. As a former soldier I know how little they are respected nowadays in Hutori, especially by people that are found in your party." -William Wordsworth, commenting on a remark from "Le Chaim" |
