Notice for all Public Ministry staff from your Commissioner Lord De'Ath
I have to say people I'm disappointed, with a capital 'D'.
Since taking over this department of Government I've noticed a number of flaws and short-comings that I intend to sort out pretty quickly, in order that we can be smooth running and get those criminal scum passing through the Courts as quick as I can serve the warrants!
A modernisation is what's called for, a big shake up, 'new broom sweeps clean' an all that stuff. We need to focus upon key areas, laid out as follows -
1. A new Commissioner's desk - Were you all aware that both those two rogues, the Minister of Justice and the Minister of War have far better desks than I currently do?! Word reaches me their desks are marble with lots of gold quills, the finest inks and attachable drinks cabinets! The current excuse for a desk in my office looks like it could barely grace a Chevalier's residence, out with it, burn the damn thing and get me an ivory table, one with lots of drawers and a couple of levels to it, make it a great big table too so that people coming to see me leave mightily impressed. I want gold inlays around the edges and a large name plate affixed to the top, proudly bearing the words "LORD De'Ath, COMMISSIONER of PUBLIC SAFETY".
2. A second Office - I think it's only right that I have a second Office, one that is closer to the prisoners so I can listen in on some of thetorture sessions interviews they undertake. Very important for me to be kept fully appraised of all of our 'customers'. Have a couple of the dungeon cells converted into a new Office, nice carpets and furniture of course, nothing but the best as befits the Commissioner, and stick a bar in one corner with a chaise longue placed nearby, a soft padded one with silk cushions. It's a mighty pressure job being Commissioner and some of these interviews can be a tad harrowing so I'm going to need a bit of 'R&R' to get through the long days.
3. Ministry Noticeboard of "Individuals to watch out for" - Sadly, as you all well know, our City is plagued with criminals and rogues, subversives, cheats, swindlers, thieves etc and don't even start me on the subject of corrupt Government Ministers (excluding the Public Safety Commissioner, a paragon of virtue and decency)! Well we need to know our, and His Majesty's, enemies so I shall be maintaining a weekly Noticeboard that details those miscreants we need our agents to keep an eye on. As we work our way through eliminating them new names will doubtless appear but you've nothing to worry about as I'll be adding the names all you need do is keep a regular on those posted.
4. The Bastian Brigade - Ok, so we've got the Paris Guard but I mean, come on, really! They mean well but they're simply not as smart as us and it's we who know the real criminals out there, not your petty muggers or your drunken oiks. Thus I shall be sorting out various agents and employees into the Bastian Brigade, this will comprise of various squads that then go out into the City and keep their eyes and ears open for any subversion as well as keeping even keener eyes out for those named on the Noticeboard. Observe them, write it all down, remember any little scrap of info can help to complete the jig-saw! I've given you all exemption from any wrong-doing while you're out there and if they occasional individual happens to get 'roughed up' here and there no problem, it's for for the greater good.
Right, everyone clear? Excellent, let's crack on as they say, there's a City to clean up, people to protect and criminals to arrest! Don't forget to check the Noticeboard, which I'll be putting up shortly.
By order of
Lord De'Ath
COMMISSIONER OF PUBLIC SAFETY
