Haalsian Enquirer: Fed. Rep. Takes Anti-Terror Measure

Ducal Official Dennis Faulconer has created a new policy, along with a symbolic passage through the Haalsian Assembly, in an effort to decrease terror incidences in the state. Sadly, though Haals no longer has the highest crime rate in the Falleen Federation, it retains the highest rate of terror attacks (defined as politically-motivated acts of violence).
The policy is a small-scale deployment of mounted National Guardsmen to highly trafficked public areas, such as public transit hubs. Faulconer described the usefulness of deploying horse-mounted units to these places, citing the advantages of having a higher point of view, allowing a National Guardsman to detect threats through a crowd. Police departments have hailed the move, saying that it will ease the detection of not only dangerous individuals, but also suspicious, unattended packages that may contain bombs, with minimal intrusion. 
The new policy also passed a symbolic vote through the Haalsian Assembly, which did not legally need to be involved with a matter involving the National Guard, which answers directly to Faulconer. Faulconer explained that he wanted to keep the Assembly engaged with him in his policy-making, and that he was very pleased that they chose to symbolically endorse this step by voting for it. Faulconer has received recent praise from his superiors in the Falleen Imperial Office for the reduction of the crime rate and increase in standard of living in Haals since the end of the civil war, and clearly he has looked to build on that success with this new policy.
