Preamble

This Declaration states who holds lawful authority in San Andreas, how that authority is shared, and where it stops. It exists so that officers, officials, agencies and civilians understand whose orders carry the force of law.

Purpose

• Make clear which bodies may enforce the law and in what areas.
• Prevent overlap and disputes between agencies.
• Protect the public by keeping every use of authority lawful and accountable.

Nature of this chapter

Like Procedures and Doctrines, the pages here set out authority and duties. They are not numbered charges. Breaches are charged under the offences that fit, such as Obstruction of Justice, Impersonating an Official or Government Corruption, and may lead to department discipline.
