The Local Sheriff’s Office of Firetown is the settlement’s primary law enforcement body, tasked with routine policing, investigations, and public safety. Unlike other offices, it reflects Firetown’s Individualist politics and heightened security needs, with 100 Deputies assigned to its 5,000 citizens — the largest contingent of any Local Sheriff’s Office in the Federal Confederation.

This unusually high headcount is linked to the demands of Firetown’s bustling Entertainment District, where disputes and disturbances are frequent, as well as the settlement’s proximity to the Ralar Region on the Dark Side, which sees regular Outlaw operations requiring heightened law enforcement presence.

The Firetown office resembles a fortified bunker: thick volcanic walls, no windows, and dim interiors lit by fungi and candles. The atmosphere is heavy, with citizens entering cautiously under the watch of heavily armed deputies.

Lucien Garcia (Individualists) Garcia embodies Firetown’s Individualist stance, prioritizing local autonomy and resisting federal oversight. Known for corruption and ties to the Jane Mendoza Gang, he balances maintaining order with advancing his political agenda, making him a controversial yet powerful figure.

• Black-Market Web: Evidence points to deputy collusion with smugglers — players investigate or exploit the corruption
• Riot Breakout: Citizens clash with deputies over allotment disputes — players must mediate, protect, or provoke further unrest
• Political Pressure: Federal Council sends inspectors — players either aid or sabotage the inquiry into Garcia’s dealings
• Prison Connection: Links between the office and the nearby Federal Prison create crossover missions involving detainees, escapes, or transfers
