Editing Sanctarian Federal Police (section)

==Organisation and functions==
The SFP's role is to enforce federal law in Sanctaria, contribute to combating complex, transnational, serious and organised crime impacting Sanctaria's national security, and to protect Sanctarian interests from criminal activity domestically and, in cooperation with the [[Sanctarian Intelligence Service]], overseas.

The SFP is responsible to the [[Secretary for Justice (Sanctaria)|Secretary of State for Justice]]. Key priorities are set by the Justice Secretary. Areas of operational emphasis include:

* investigating complex, transnational, serious and organised crime
* protecting Sanctarians and Sanctarian interests from terrorism and violent extremism
* representing Sanctarian police and law enforcement on an international level

Continued responsibilities include providing:

* a national protection capability to ensure the protection of specific individuals, establishments and events identified by the [[Government of Sanctaria|Sanctarian Government]] as being at risk
* a national counter-terrorism first response capability focused on aviation security and protection of critical infrastructure
* providing transportation security at international airports and on Sanctarian railways, as well as acting as sky marshals when required

There are SFP stations and headquarters in each [[States of Sanctaria|state]], and though primary policing functions within each state for normal crimes and criminal investigation are the responsibility of each state police force, the SFP does retain primary jurisdiction for some crimes that have been designated "federal crimes"; these include, but are not limited to:

* Major fraud
* Child sexual abuse
* Abduction
* Drug and human trafficking
* Cyber crimes
* Counter terrorism, and terrorism prevention and investigation
* Organised crime

The SFP may also be requested to support and reinforce state police when necessary. State police forces may also request the SFP to take over or participate in investigations of crimes not usually designated a federal crime if they believe it to be in the best interests of the investigation.
