City Security Act

The City Security Act (CSA) is a San Paro City ordinance passed in 2009 by Mayor Jane Derren in response to rising crime rates. The act allows citizens to become CSA-licensed Enforcers, who are authorised to enforce the law in any way they see fit.

Background
Crime rates had been dramatically rising for a few decades in San Paro, to the point that by the mid 2000's, it was considered "in" to commit crimes by the media. This along with near enough constant spending cuts for the SPPD created the perfect storm for criminal groups like the G-Kings, Blood Roses or Red Rain to flourish.

After the 2009 San Paro Mayoral elections, Jane Derren was elected Mayor of San Paro, and one of her cabinet's first act was to pass the heavily criticised City Security Act in an effort to fight fire with fire.
