Letter to the council.

Councillors

Reviewing the procedures of equipment confiscation from criminals and the methods and such used to catch criminals, I wish to propose a slight change to what happens to some equipment which is normally destroyed. Specifically potions. Other equipment continues to be stored as the rules set.

The one resource greatly exerted by watchmen to catch criminals and deal with dangerous situations is potions. They are expensive to make and expensive to buy. I'd like to propose bieng able to redistribute them between watchmen rather than destroying such items.

This would greatly help on our limited resources to deal with especially dangerous cases which require specialist items to bring in, allowing our pay, which we constantly burn on potions, to be put to other uses.

In addition this would remove temptation to aquire other objects from said criminals belongings for person use if bieng allowed to keep and share potions with the watch.

I do believe the Watch are the only people that are known to deal correctly with confiscated equipment and have no leeway to make use of any of it. We have always followd this rule. Miss Noguerya used to sell what she got her hands on from the tigereyes, the tigereyes keep everything they got. We don't. I'd like some slack to keep something useful that is otherwise pointlessly destroyed.

A few bleary-eyed Councilors glance at the letter during a brief recess from the ongoing emergency debates.

Sergeant,

The Tigereyes weren't supposed to sell or keep anything they confiscated ... I suppose it doesn't matter very much any more. The Council is riven, right now: the present situation weighs heavily upon us all, but there is no agreement about the proper course of action. Our debates on that, which are of the highest priority, occupy all of our time.

I will ask my fellow Councilors about this, but I fear you may have better luck waiting until once a policy has been decided upon rather than pressing the issue right now, in this worst of times.
