Mission Statement, Vision and Values

Vision
One Agency. One Community. An Agency unmatched in its core capabilities, functioning as one team, fully integrated into the Intelligence Community.

Mission
We are the Alliance's first line of defense. We accomplish what others cannot accomplish and go where others cannot go. We carry out our mission by:

• Collecting information that reveals the plans, intentions and capabilities of our adversaries and provides the basis for decision and action.
• Producing timely analysis that provides insight, warning and opportunity to the Director and Deputy Director charged with protecting and advancing the Alliance's interests.
• Conducting covert action at the direction of the Director and Deputy Director to preempt threats or achieve Alliance policy objectives.

Core Values

• Service - We put Alliance first and Agency before self. Quiet patriotism is our hallmark. We are dedicated to the mission, and we pride ourselves on our extraordinary responsiveness to the needs of our customers.

• Integrity - We uphold the highest standards of conduct. We seek and speak the truth-to our colleagues and to our customers. We honor those Agency officers who have come before us and we honor the colleagues with whom we work today.

• Excellence - We hold ourselves-and each other-to the highest standards. We embrace personal accountability. We reflect on our performance and learn from that reflection.

Divisions

• Below are the two major divisions of the ACS; Alliance Criminal Investigations, and Alliance Police Services. The former functions much like MI5, the KJB or CIA once did on Earth-that-was. The latter is equivalent to Interpol and is the visible 'public' face of ACS.

Alliance Criminal Investigations Division

Overview
The Alliance Criminal Investigations Division is an agency of the Alliance Central Security that serves as both a military and criminal investigative body, an internal intelligence service and a cladenstine operations outfit. The CID has investigative jurisdiction over violations of federal civilian and military law, though it also likes to poke its nose into local jurisdictions just to throw its weight around.

Directorate of Support

• Security
  • Security is an integral part of working at CID. DS Security officers are responsible for the protection of our organization's people, mission, facilities and information. Security officers are involved in a wide range of activities, from the vetting of personnel for positions of trust with the CID and access to sensitive information, to providing protection for our facilities and information systems. Whether physically protecting our facilities or monitoring our network to protect against threats to our online capabilities, we are here to support the CID's mission.
• Corporate Businesses
  • Acquisitions and finance activities take place within the Office of Corporate Businesses. Acquisitions officers execute formal contracting arrangements with our industrial partners and provide guidance to Agency officers to ensure compliance with the various legal and regulatory guidelines. Finance officers develop, implement and maintain financial operations and reporting, and serve as the focal point for a range of Bureau financial policies and practices. They assist in preparing budgets for the various levels within the Bureau and are often forward-deployed within operational units to better understand and facilitate local financial issues.
• Medical Services
  • This office is dedicated to providing health, safety and other medical-related services to Bureau officers wherever they work across the Universe. Medical professionals in CID ensure that Agency officers are healthy and prepared, both physically and mentally, for the unique challenges faced by Bureau employees. Like other offices within DS, Medical officers travel extensively, both domestically and off core worlds, to ensure that our programs are effective.
• Personnel Resources
  • Human Resources officers from the Office of Personnel Resources are an essential part of the Bureau support team. They are involved in the deployment of our officers, the full range of employee compensation and benefits, hiring, training, and other key elements of workforce management. They work extensively with other HR professionals within the Intelligence Community and across the Alliance Government.
• Global Services
  • Global Services officers are responsible for providing a full range of integrated/mission-focused global support services, including worldwide administrative and logistics services, supply chain management, comprehensive travel services, publishing, and transportation services for the Bureau and the Intelligence Community. These services are provided by a workforce that has a diversity of skills, working from a wide range of platforms, teams, and embedded positions, and through the use of innovative solutions tailored to the mission.
• Global Infrastructure
  • A strong infrastructure is a foundational element for Bureau. Our Office of Global Infrastructure ensures a strong, reliable, and secure IT network, as well as efficient, modern, and secure office space. We manage the full range of IT and facilities services with a extremely strong, agile workforce of communications specialists, engineers, applications developers, architects, building specialists and others. We build and operation facilities and provide secure communications whenever and wherever the mission requires.
• Mission Integration
  • DS provides support to the Bureau through corporate platforms, business applications, strong embedded teams, and the full integration of our wide range of support services. Mission Integration officers manage cross-functional programs and activities for DS, the Bureau, and the IC, leading projects that span multiple support business lines. The Office of Mission Integration also helps meet mission requirements through the management of some of our major DS field support platforms, by coordinating closely with our foreign service agencies in the Alliance Government, and by building support applications that enable our mission.
    
    

Alliance Police Services

APS, otherwise known as Alliance Police Serivces, is a sub-division of Alliance Central Security (ACS) and is tasked with enforcing the law on their respective border or rim world. Unlike the other divisions in ACS, the authority of the membership of the APS extends only as far as their assigned world. This means that Sheriffs and Deputy Sheriffs assigned to a world are tasked with enforcing Alliance law on their respective planet, but when they leave to travel to another planet, they no longer carry any offical authority.

Within the APS, there are four main ranks, with only two of them actively being used at this time.

Warden -- The Warden oversee's the Alliance Police Services division as a whole and functions as the right hand of the Director and Deputy Director of the ACS for Police matters. They are responsible for ensuring that the assigned worlds under the APS' influence have Sheriff's assigned, with the assistance of Inspectors, and are authorized to move assets or request additional assets to attend to issues as they arise.

Inspector -- Inspectors are responsible for a sector of space, which typically consists of three or four planets in which the APS has authority on. Their duties include ensuring that each of their assigned planets has the proper amount of manpower, proper facilities and to assist with any requests for additional assets that may be needed.

Sheriff -- The Sheriff of a planet under the ACS is the day-to-day law enforcement offical for that area. They are responsible for maintaining both the planet's local laws and Alliance laws and have the authority to arrest anyone who a) violates those laws or b) has an outstanding warrant that has been issued by either the Alliance Federals or by Central Security. The authority of this position extends only to the assigned planet and carries no authority on any other planet.

Deputy Sheriff -- The Deputy Sheriff is tasked with assisting the Sheriff in the day-to-day enforcement of a planet's laws, both local and Alliance based. Like the Sheriff, their authority extends only to the assigned planet and carries no authority on any other planet.

Members of the APS, of any rank, are not Federal Marshal's as Alliance Federal's are members of the military and the APS is a civilian based organization, answerable to Alliance Central Security, which then answers to the Secretary of Security. It's also important to note that if Alliance Federal's are on-world and make a request for assistance to the local Sheriff's Office, they are to provide any and all assistance required.

As the APS is a sub-division of the ACS, all members of the Alliance Police Services are answerable to the Director and Deputy Director of the ACS, currently Salin and Carmichael respectively.
