Law enforcement in Volkia is generally the responsibility of local police and sheriff's departments, with provincial police providing broader services. The [[Volkgoroda Metropolitan Police Department]], which serves the [[Volkgoroda]] metropolitan area, is the largest in the country. Federal agencies like the [[Federal Investigative ServiceAgency]] (FSRFSA) and the [[Narcotics Enforcement Agency]] (NPA) have specialized duties, including protecting civil rights, investigating federal and international crimes, national security, enforcing drug laws, and investigatingprotecting drugnational offensessecurity. At the federal level and in every province, the legal systems operate on {{wp|common law}}. Provincial courts conduct most criminal trials; federal courts handle certain designated crimes as well as certain appeals from the provincial criminal courts. Plea bargaining is very common; the vast majority of criminal cases in the country are settled by {{wp|plea bargain}} rather than {{wp|jury trial}}.
