Mileth Town Charter (Article II)

Article II
Law enforcement Duties and Conduct
The peace of the Mileth community should be kept at all times.  It is the sworn duty of all Mileth guards to ensure peace and justice throughout the province.  A guard's sworn duty is first and foremost to the protection of the lives and prosperity of the civilians.  Anything else is secondary.

Section A
A guard is to conduct themselves in a fair manner.  The main goal is to settle conflict.  Taking sides in a dispute is not an option available. A guard must remain knowledgeable of all current laws and keep up with them at all times.

Section B
Evidence is only to be kept if the event is brought to trial.  No trials are needed when the punished is sent to Salachar.  All guards must look after their own evidence and keep it organized.  They may not withhold evidence presented to them and must make themselves available to collect said evidence.  ((i.e. make their e-mail address known))

Section C
Guards have active and passive duty.  Active duty is defined as active patrol of the area surrounding Mileth in uniform.  Guards must do this a minimal of 40 Temuairan hours per double-moon ((5 hours a week)) during their term.  It is the duty of the guard captain to organize a schedule for this duty.  In addition, guards are on constant passive duty whilst in Temuair.  This means that they must make themselves available to aid a citizen in need that specifically requests their help.

Section D
Punishments are to be dealt out efficiently and fairly.  Unless the crime is severe enough as to be universally scorned, a minimum of one warning of the crime is to be given.  Guests ((unregistered)) citizens who demonstrate themselves to repeatedly harass aislings and officials or otherwise disturbing the peace may be sent to Salachar on sight at the request of an official.  Repeatedly awakening new aislings simply to abuse officials is not acceptable.  Persistence of any crime shall lead to more severe punishment.  Sgath is only to be used as punishment from trial as per the "Shadow Hunger" law.  For extremely severe and repeated offences, a guard captain may request that a judge and jury meet to decide 
a) if the accused is guilty and 
b) if sgath is appropriate for this crime. 
If the sgath punishment is decided upon, it is the guard captain's responsibility to carry out the punishment.

Section E
The acting guard captains determine any etiquette not described in this charter that the guards are to follow.  In the case of dissent between  captains, the guard body votes on only those areas where there are  conflicts.  These guidelines are to be posted as temporary law on the  political board outside the Mileth Village Hall by a demagogue in effect until the guard captains leave/are removed from office.
