Duties

The Chief MP has many different responsibilities. But your main responsibility is to ensure that Marine Law is being properly enforced. You are the second highest authority in regards to Marine Law aboard the Vessel, the first being the Commanding Officer, however you are usually the one dealing with Marine law and as such, with Great authority comes great responsibility... and lots of paperwork...

You should be ensuring that all prisoners are properly processed and charged correctly before being placed into their cells. As even experienced personnel sometimes forget or make mistakes. You should also be making sure that your Inmates are being treated in accordance with Marine Law, that they are not being abused or having their rights violated. You are able to make arrests if needed, but you shouldn't be running around searching for criminals, as one of your main duties is to process appeals and ensure other Members of the Military Police are doing their jobs correctly and Legally.

You should ensure there are proper records of all crimes, charges and uses of force. as well as documentation of any appeals that prisoners make in regards to their sentences. These documents may seem superflous at first, but having these records is incredibly useful when trying to figure out who arrested and charged a person, or if a particular MP over-extended their use of force beyond the limits of the law. It falls into your powers to reduce sentences of prisoners whom have been incorrectly charged, dropping charges that are either incorrect or false per the spirit of marine law. You are there to enforce the Law and uphold the proper proceedures, but that does not mean you must be a tyrant.

You are one of two people on the ship who can authorise the use of Lethal force against suspects who have presented a threat to the crew, this should be done sparingly as any authorisation of lethal force you will be expected to answer for, anyone who is taken down using lethal force must be given adequete medical care after the fact, and properly arrested and charged.

The Chain Of Command & Military Police

The Chain of Command regarding Marine Law is quite simple, at the top is the Commanding Officer, followed closely by yourself. However this is not a pass for either one of you to behave however you wish. You are beholden to Marine law much the same as anyone else, and you will answer to Higher Powers should you abuse the authority provided to either one of you. Occasionally, you will recieve orders from Higher up, if you recieve a Fax stamped by High command ordering you to do something (Or not to do something) These orders will override even the Commanding Officer's orders, and are to be completed to the best of your ability as High Command are the Ultimate authority within the UNMC.

Your relationship with the Command staff of the Almayer is arguably more complex than most. The Commanding Officer will have the final say on the enforcement of marine law aboard the vessel, including appeals and which charges or times will be applied for Sentences. However, members of the Command Staff are still your superiors. although they cannot order you around like any other marine, there are still circumstances where their orders must be heeded. For example if there is a concern of a hostile presense aboard the warship, you may have a Command officer order that an MP be made to guard the Requisitions Line or Medical bay.

Only three people may Over-rule the Chief Of Military Police on Marine Law,

• The Commanding Officer (Not to be confused with the Acting Commander, which is anyone in charge of the operation in the Absense of the Commanding Officer)
• Marine High Command
• Provost Marshals

Anyone else is unable to Interfere with the Chief MP's Rullings and Verdicts in regards to Marine law, as this would be a criminal offense to do so.

• In the event that a Whitelisted Commanding Officer breaks the law, and you wish to arrest them. You MUST first seek authorisation from Marine High Command via your fax machine, as they are protected from arrests without such authorisation. Failure to seek proper Authorisation will result in OOC Consequences. Such authorisation is not required for Acting commanders, though you Must notify High command via Fax afterwards.
