The New California Republic Provost Marshal Office (Provost) is the dedicated office of Provost Marshals tasked with NCR Military Police Oversight.
Laws
Dictated by the constitution of the Republic, every citizen of the NCR - civilian or military - must follow these laws.
It is a crime to take the life of another, be it murder or manslaughter. These acts are harshly punished; depending on severity, punishment can reach execution. It is a crime to steal from another, regardless of circumstances, punishable by prison with the possibility of parole.
Basic Rights
All citizens hold the following universal rights, which may not be infringed upon:
|
In the case of criminal arrest, all rights, barring the right to remain silent, to a fair trial, and to an attorney, are suspended.
Treason
All acts of treason are, in most cases, punishable by death. Includes: fraternizing with or providing information to an enemy of the state, terrorism, desertion, and dereliction of duty.
Fraudulent Activities
Punishable by prison or voluntary labor. Includes: money laundering, identity theft, falsification of reports or official documents, forgery of currency, and the sale/distribution of illicit substances (Jet, Psycho, Turbo).
Crime and Punishment
Punishment in the NCR is divided between Non-Judicial and Judicial Punishment.
Non-Judicial Punishment (NJP)
For less severe offenses. Given by NCOs and Officers in the field. These punishments must best fit the severity of the offense and cannot be cruel or arbitrary.
- Reprimand · Forfeiture of Pay · Extra Duty · Diminished Rations
- Confinement to Base or Brig
- Loss of Rank (requires Captain or higher approval)
Judicial Punishment (JP)
Determined after court martial for major or capital offenses.
- Other Than Honorable Discharge · Dishonorable Discharge
- Execution via Firing Squad or Hanging
- Barred from Reenlistment
Court Martial
Requested by high-ranking members or the Military Police. Handles serious crimes between NCRA and NCRR. Non-military personnel are not sentenced to Court Martial - they receive a Civilian Court Trial. Court martials take time; they are not instantaneous.

Criminals and Prisoners of War
Criminals
Individuals not part of any faction who have broken NCR laws, committed crimes against NCR citizens or personnel, or undermined NCR operations. Criminals are protected under NCR laws - they must be treated humanely, provided with food, clothing, and shelter, and may not be abused while non-resisting. In the absence of non-lethal methods to detain and secure a inmate, lethal methods are authorized if they attempt to escape.
Prisoners of War (POWs)
Individuals who are part of a faction currently at war with the NCR. POWs are protected under NCR laws and must be treated humanely. Anyone releasing a POW without authorization is charged with Sedition or Treason.
Executions
Executions fall under the server rules of Round Removal and should be used extremely sparingly and with bulletproof In Character reasoning. (DO NOT Round Remove people because they personally bother you or attempting escape, give the player their own story!). You are expected and demanded to fax High Command with execution post-mortem reports (who, when, where, and why are bare essentials if you're not into paperwork).
Military Police are allowed to execute prisoners/prisoners of war should they deem the subject un-detainable; Or under extraordinary circumstances as approved by the CO/High Command. Military Police are required to hold the subject for as long as possible (I.E: Give them solitary confinement first or some similar 'second chance' punishment) before deeming them a drain on resources to keep.
