Editing Department of Justice and Equality (Sanctaria) (section)

==Organisation==

The Department of Justice and Equality is headed by the Secretary of the Department of Justice and Equality, also known as the Secretary for Justice. The Secretary is aided by the senior civil servant in charge of the department, the Director-General. The Department itself is then split into various divisions or directorates, with each division headed by other senior civil servants, Directors, who report to both the Director-General and the Secretary of State. This is mirrored in all other government departments, with the only political staff being the Secretary themselves, or any other politician appointed to aide them. Civil servants throughout the department report to their superiors, who eventually report to the Director-General, who is then answerable to the Secretary. The Secretary in turn reports back to the [[Government of Sanctaria|Cabinet]] and, indeed, the [[Sanctarian Federal Parliament|Parliament]].

The [[Sanctarian Federal Police]] is independent agency of the department, and the [[Commissioner of the Sanctarian Federal Police]] reports directly to the [[Secretary for Justice (Sanctaria)|Secretary for Justice]], bypassing the Director-General of the department. Also an independent agency of the department is the [[Public Prosecutions Service (Sanctaria)|Public Prosecutions Service]], with the [[Director of Public Prosecutions (Sanctaria)|Director of Public Prosecutions]] also reporting directly to the Secretary.
