The concept of "police" (''dhurvālāṇa'') in the Inquisition is different from most other modern nations. The Inquisition itself has the powers of a public order force, which provides basic law enforcement (including religious policing) and crime fighting - theoretically every Inquisitor may carry out these tasks even when not ''de jure'' on duty. Most of these tasks, except religious policing, may be also carried out by deacons. Anyone who acts as a part of the police force is called ''yinām nali murkadhāna'' (lit. Inquisitor for security) or ''yinām nali vālireh'' (Deacon for security). Cars of the Inquisition (black with golden yellow text) are the equivalent of police cars in the Chlouvānem lands.<br/> | The concept of "police" (''dhurvālāṇa'') in the Inquisition is different from most other modern nations.
