Department of Internal Security

The New California Republic Department of Internal Security is a NCR executive department responsible for maintaining local order, law enforcement, anti-terrorism, border security, and disaster prevention and management.
==History==
As a response to the massacre of NCR civilians by Mojave raiders and a series of raider attacks within the NCR, newly-inaugurated President Wendell Peterson announced the establishment of the Department of Internal Security to coordinate and consolidate law enforcement and internal security affairs. 
A few months after its formation, the NCR Police and other government institutions related to internal security were incorporated into the DIS as their own, respective agencies. The consolidation and increased coordination between these organisations allowed the NCR to become much more safer, somewhat keeping order during the NCR gold panic, the NCR-Brotherhood War, and much more recently, keeping the peace in the Mojave through its New Vegas detachment during the NCR Legion-War. However, while the NCR as a whole is safer, by the time of the Kimball administration, has gotten less free, in part due to corruption, manipulation, and bureaucracy.
==Function==
The Department of Internal Security works to protect the NCR within its borders, particularly with matters related to law enforcement and anti-terrorism. The DIS is divided into multiple agencies, offices, and services handling different duties and assignments related to the internal security of the Republic.
==Structure==
Subordinate agency 	Purpose 	Title of head/leader
NCR Law Enforcement Service 	The NCR Law Enforcement Service is the primary arm of the DIS responsible for law enforcement and maintaining order. It is the largest agency within the DIS, accounting to over 75,000 personnel. Its sheer size is often a cause of debate on whether or not to make it an independent force or not. The NCR Law Enforcement Service administers the police departments of large NCR settlements. 	Commissioner
NCR Marshals Service 	The NCR Marshals Service is a federal law enforcement agency of the New California Republic. It holds jurisdiction over rural and frontier areas of the NCR that do not fall under the NCR Law Enforcement Service. 	Commissioner

The Border Patrols of the CBSS are usually most felt in major trading routes, and is responsible for dispersing and repelling raider attacks on the border. The rapidly expanding Republic has led to the CBSS becoming overstretched, and as a result is not always able to regulate what comes in and out of NCR territory.	Commissioner
