| Message | The national Police force is required to deal with crimes affecting the entire nation, drugs and people traficing, smuggling, terrorism. The national force is needed for national level crimes, the local force is needed for local level crimes. Imagine the National forces as the FBI or equivilant of Mordusia whereas local forces are just your standard uniformed coppers. |

| Message | We would argue that all crimes are so-called "local level" crimes. With properly equipped and trained local police forces, these forces should have no issues dealing with all sorts of crimes. The reason we proposed this is that we believe there is less chance of corruption if the police power structure is closer to the people. As far as funding is concerned, we believe the funding levels would be the same as they are in the current, nationally funded system. We do not foresee and funding reduction or increase. |

| Message | a national police force can be close to the people, just across the entire nation and not just in one region. |

| Message | It's not the actual police for we want closer to the people, it's the people who regulate it we want closer to the people. |
