Maze Guard (no ontology)

From Mazeworld

Revision as of 12:32, 14 March 2016

A Maze Guard is a member of the Maze Personnel and an iconic, almost ubiquitous encounter in the Mazes. Maze Guards are part of the LE/Police faction, and as the name suggests, they represent the Mazes' law enforcement.

Guards enforce a set of laws called the Standard Law, and assign a Police Attention Level to perpetrators they see or know about. Although Guards need to be present to enforce those laws and proceed to arrestations, anyone can be pegged with a Police Attention if they have been reported.

Because the job of a Maze Guard may be particularly dangerous, they are paid on a day-to-day basis, depending on their rank and branch. The base pay of a standard Maze Guard is 120 P$/day.

Maze Guards are declined in several variants and ranks, each with their own equipment: standard Maze Guards, Guard Sergeants, Guard Chiefs, and Special Response Team (SRT) Guards, the MazeWorld equivalent of SWAT. Guards are headquartered in facilities called Police Stations. Each Station has three groups ; a Patrol group composed of regular Maze Guards and Sergeants, an SRT group composed of Special Response Team Guards and their sergeants, and a Call Operator group composed of Guards with the special task and responsibility of managing and handling emergency calls, then directing Patrol and SRT groups to the relevant locations.

Each Guard reports to one over-arching leader, the Maze Sheriff Len Hargrave. Sheriff Hargrave, much like his military counterpart, resides in a facility called the Police Headquarters. The Police HQ is the law enforcer equivalent of the Main Barracks. Similarly to Colonel Wight's own Elite forces, the Sheriff leads his own special unit, the Emergency Support Group (ESG), a group of 8 SRT teams specially trained for crisis and extreme law enforcement situations.
