Alyssandra Legall
The Officers of the combined Fleet have cast their votes, and with a unanimous 8 votes for and none against you are hereby accepted to the Flotte Combinee, the Gendarmerie ([GN]G-) branch with the rank of Deputy.
We have reviewed what remains of your record very closely from your duty as Gardien of the Gallic Royal Police to your rise to Capitaine. We have also dusted off the records of the Police Nationale itself, and, long story short - they were right all along, and the current state of Gallic Policing is exactly what they envisioned. There are no civilians, every single Gendarme receives their full military training and is part of the Gallic Navy Combined Fleet umbrella.
This decision by the Grand Marshal of Gallia to abolish civilian police didn't come without difficulties, however. It is expensive and takes a long time to train a Gendarme, as we need to be trained for both policing duties, auxiliary combat duty, and military detachments. We have no corruption and no tolerance for it, but we have lost tens of thousands of former civilian officers who were not willing to enlist, with scores of the corrupt ones joining our ever-present rivals the Brigands.
The Main Fleet with their Valors and Amirals always receives priority when it comes to funding, and most of our officers have to resort to using civilian vessels they are accustomed to from their former civilian police duty. To top it all off, our last Director General has been killed in action during the destruction of Issoudun by Aliens and we have had acting leaders since then.
We have no doubt someone with your experience will rise through the ranks quickly, and help Gendarmerie reach it's potential, but in line with our no-corruption policy, you will have to start where everyone else has - as a deputy.
