At the same time, such a mission clashes against the egalitarian nature of Concordat society, and so the Constabulary performs double-duty as an internal affairs department. This desire to maintain citizens' rights has hamstrung the Constabulary from performing its designated role and even left the TMI open to infiltration itself (during a two-month period in [[3067]], a double-agent working for the [[Maskirovka]] was able to help uncover a dozen other foreign agents).<ref name=CO/> − While the prosecution of most crimes in the Concordat is generally in the hands of local police forces, the Constabulary for most of its history has provides assistance and coordination when necessary.
