The Commissariat on Internal Affairs (КВД in Russian and КИА in Latin Nemonics) is the rural augmentation and in many cases replacement for the police, plus the military police formation of the Red Army. It also has the civilian role of providing oversight for police departments and its commissars act as social workers to accompany the police. In the civilian role they are considered social workers or commissars and not officers, which reduces the number of police impersonators who join them. As social workers they have the authority to arrest police officers who they believe act in an unnecessary manner. They are allowed to be armed for dealing with any police officer who resists arrest or when responding to mental health disturbances, which the Shturmovik Party encourages police departments to delegate to the KVD. Social workers of the KVD have the authority to perform law enforcement actions when necessary although it is discouraged outside of police replacement formations to weed out police impersonators.

History

The creation of the KVD goes back hundreds of years to before the Shturmovik Revolution when it was first created to maintain order in the autonomous zones. After the Bobrovgrad Massacre, plans were made for the KVD to replace the police. These plans were never completed, but the KVD did mostly replace the police in rural areas. In urban areas they became an increasing presence with the police. The motivation to replace the police with the KVD was to end police brutality. Each time there was a high profile police shooting of an android, the Shturmovik Party would increasingly take control away from the police with the goal of replacing them with KVD armed social workers.

Controversy

Despite the heavy reduction in law enforcement violence following replacements and augmentations of the police by the KVD, many conservatives of the Bolshevik Party are highly skeptical of them. They fear persecution by the heavily political KVD but they also object to the way that the KVD treats the mentally ill. Under the traditional Bolshevik philosophy, mentally ill people should be free to express themselves unless they seek treatment whereas the progressive Shturmovik view is that the mentally ill are slaves to their conditions and they are not able to give informed consent to remain as they are, and allowing them to do so is profoundly immoral. They are also considered dangerous to themselves and at a high risk of being shot by civilians or the police or social workers. Progressives view the conservative perspective on mental illness as a remnant of their hedonism.

Conservatives and Bolshevik-aligned Nordic immigrants strongly criticize the way that the KVD deals with "schizoid-narcissists" and other mentally ill people. It is common for schizoid-narcissists to act bizarrely as if intoxicated and have similarly strange and sometimes disturbing ways or relieving stress.
