Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) and Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) - The Difference

 PKTF - Assembly Liaisons: Consolidating LEAs and State Assemblies


The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) Assembly Liaisons play an instrumental role in advancing cooperation and comprehension between Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) and the American State Assemblies. They operate towards building dignified relationships, establishing emergency communication networks, and ensuring respect for the unique roles of land and soil jurisdiction under legitimate self-governance practices. Below is a detailed overview of their mandate:


Core Responsibilities of PKTF Assembly Liaisons


Networking and Communication:
Facilitate communication between State Assemblies, LEAs, and neighboring assemblies to build bridges of coexistence and cooperation.


Information Sharing:
Notify LEAs of State Assembly militia peacekeeping functions operating under land and soil jurisdiction in alignment with constitutional principles.


Emergency Communication Networks:
Initiate coast-to-coast communication systems to foster collaborative efforts during emergencies and enable harmonious coordination across jurisdictions.


Jurisdictional Education:
Encourage education about American State Assembly governance under land and soil jurisdiction while respecting the statutory authority of LEAs.


Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs)


LEAs include a broad range of organizations such as:


> Police Departments

> Sheriff’s Offices

> State Police/Highway Patrol

> Tribal Police Departments

> Special Emergency Tactics Dispatch Units (local assets)


Special Jurisdiction Agencies (e.g., park rangers, transit police)


These agencies operate under statutory law to enforce public safety measures within their jurisdictions.


State Assembly Militia Functions


State Assembly militias are community-based defense organizations sanctioned under constitutional provisions. Their primary roles include:


Aiding civil authorities during emergencies.


Defending land and soil jurisdictions.


Operating as unorganized militias when needed.


Law Enforcement Administration's Role


Law Enforcement Administration ensures effective functioning of LEAs by focusing on:


Policy Development: Establishing operational strategies for statutory adaptation.


Personnel Management: Recruiting and training officers to uphold professionalism.


Oversight Committees: Ensuring accountability through governance at the state level.


This administration distinguishes LEAs from State Assembly militias by emphasizing statutory law enforcement rather than constitutional self-policing.


Building Respectful Bridges


PKTF Assembly Liaisons actively work to:


Clarify jurisdictional differences between land/soil governance and statutory law enforcement.


Foster cooperation during emergencies or public safety challenges.


Respect all known jurisdictions, including counties with superior concurrent general jurisdiction, while maintaining peaceful collaboration through lawful practices.


Coordination in the Nexus Region


The United States is divided into 10 Nexus Regions based on Postal Service Areas. PKTF liaisons are trained to collaborate within these regions to ensure clear communication and coordination among assemblies at county, state, and regional levels. This regional approach strengthens inter-state cooperation while respecting each assembly's autonomy.


Fidelity to Peaceful Self-Governance


By these means, PKTF strives to:


Build strong reputations for honoring all jurisdictions, including land and soil governance.


Exercise fiduciary responsibility for peaceful cooperation through lawful self-governance at county and state levels.


Foster collaboration with neighboring assemblies within their Nexus Region to ensure harmony across borders.


Commitment to Emergency Communication Efforts


PKTF liaisons also focus on developing robust coast-to-coast emergency communication networks to enhance disaster response capabilities and ensure seamless coordination between assemblies and LEAs during crises.


Through comprehensive training in these essentials, PKTF Assembly Liaisons empower State Assemblies to peacefully collaborate with LEAs while upholding constitutional principles of land and soil jurisdiction governance. This mutual respect for lawful self-governance and inter-agency cooperation strengthens public safety systems across the country while promoting harmony among all jurisdictions involved.

Examples of When Alleged Peacekeepers Miss The Mark

 Strengthening State Assemblies Marshal-at-Arms to Sergeant-at-Arms: A Call for Responsibility and Communication

The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) plays a significant role in helping State Assemblies, Assembly Militia Pillar achieve validation for announcing it's standing and recognition within the Federation to the world as part of its own Fiduciary responsibility.

Despite PKTF's fairly significant, readily accessible information resources, ongoing and interactive training, and dedication to advocacy, two specific State Assemblies—one on the East Coast and the other spanning both sides of the Mississippi River—are still hampered by their own cultivated choice of sharing with themselves numerous bouts of misinformation.

It has been reported by their own sources that the issue lies with some among their Marshals-at-Arms offices who have been derelict in fulfilling their duty to conduct due diligence, spreading disinformation as if it were fact. Such behavior can lead to erroding the trust needed to maintain healthy decorum in their Assemblies and stands in the way of overall progress toward self-governance.


The Federation Fiduciary Office is well aware of these same self-inflicted, Assembly burdens. Such careless setbacks have now begun turning these same Assemblies into a bit of a punchline to jokes among other observers from other State Assemblies that face no such issues whatsoever. This embarrassment can be avoided with proper service training and accountability to ensure accurate information is shared. It is time to tackle these issues head-on, clarify PKTF’s purpose, yet again for these two up and coming Assemblies, and call for all responsible leadership among genuine peacekeepers that values communication and cooperation based on fact.





What PKTF Really Provides


PKTF offers three key services that enable State Assemblies to achieve Standing and resiliency toward Assembly Seatment:


1) Advocating for Safe State Border Defense

PKTF supports Assemblies in adopting firm defense positions, such as looking to successful examples similar to Switzerland's Canton system and other defense-only strategies that help support commitment to statewide safeguarding. This strategy emphasizes self-governance and resiliency at the community level, creating a platform for local autonomy while maintaining coordination with larger state and federal efforts.


2) Facilitating Interagency Collaboration

PKTF bridges communication gaps between State Assemblies, State of State law enforcement, and other entities. This includes advocating for natural resource management (e.g., water, food, seeds, machinery), emergency medical supply chains, safe route security, and cross-state logistical coordination during disasters. Examples include:

Radio Communications: Constructing secure networks via airways, rail systems, waterways, and interstate roadways.


Emergency Travel Coordination: Offering safe transportation for medical teams and supplies during emergencies.


3) Coordinating Emergency Operations Across States

PKTF acts as a communication hub during natural or manmade disasters. It facilitates coordination of neighboring states' resources to enable quick response and relief interventions. For instance:

Establishing heavy equipment repair teams for relief project recovery.


Supplying power generators or other vital resources to affected areas.


These services are not imposed by an external force but are implemented by members of each Assembly itself, showcasing the highest form of self-governance.





The Role of Internal Peacekeepers


Marshals-at-Arms are key components within their State General Assemblies as internal peacekeepers tasked with fostering trust, ensuring truthful information flow, and guiding their Assembly toward success. Unfortunately, misinformation—such as the false claim that PKTF is solely an "inspection" organization—has shown to be a careless, thoughtless, and gross neglect to service information causing unnecessary lack of trust creating senseless confusion that inhibits progress.


It is important to emphasize that PKTF does not exercise external control or supervision over State Assemblies. Instead:


The services provided by PKTF are intended to be performed by Assembly members themselves.


This represents the height of self-government: It is the people and tbose of the People who serve them within their Assembly—trained with the best resources available from the Federation—providing these services directly to their own communities.


Without an engaged set of members working together to bring PKTF’s services to their Assembly in an honest manner, these Assemblies will persist in flailing and delaying their own progress toward validation.


A Call for Action


The time is now for these confused Marshals-at-Arms to step up as responsible internal peacekeepers. Here’s what is encouraged as a - need to happen:


Obtain Proper Information from Reliable Sources: Marshals-at-Arms must directly communicate with PKTF staff or other Assemblies with operational PKTF-Assembly Liaisons rather than relying on unverifiable sources or ill-informed colleagues who do not have such same Liaisons.


Assign a PKTF-Assembly Liaison: Having a Liaison attend General Assembly meetings ensures proper information dissemination by providing direct answers to questions from a trusted source rather than perpetuating misinformation from outside influences.


Retire Practices that Foment False Information: Disseminating inaccuracies undermines faith in the Assembly and misguides members down false paths that stifle progress toward Standing and Seatment.


This Path Forward


PKTF embraces all proposals offered by the Federation to bolster community resiliency and state defense posture. By adopting these resources—modeled after successful systems like Switzerland's Canton governance, for example—State Assemblies can begin to foster self-reliance while enjoying strong inter-state cooperation.


It is not some - "external" "invading", as these two State Marshals-at-Arms have been persuaded somehow to think - outside force that will bring success—it is the honest, peaceful, and direct work of each Assembly's very own members working together toward Standing and Seatment.

Success is within reach; it is up to these Marshals-at-Arms to rise to the task, prioritize correct communication, and do what is right for their State Assembly before further embarrassment ensues due to avoidable setbacks.


And, as a last word of encouragement for those fast and loose internal peacekeepers who have done their part to perpetuate service inaccuracy about PKTF to your General Assembly - if Standing Validation and Seatment are what lies ahead of you as an Assembly, now or in the future, you might want to strongly consider advocating for those willing to help you with that from among your State Assembly members because - - and this cannot be stressed enough - - it will not be someone from outside your Assembly that will make that happen. It will be those from among you with the proper training and willingness to work together to make success a reality.


Always sincerely optimistic,
Joseph Hayse
Executive Director,
The Peacekeeping Task Force

Strengthening Oversight Responsibility: Independent Experts' Participation in State Assembly Militia Operations

How all State Assemblies Might Decide to Bolster It's Own Accountability Measure 

As it is, and as it ever will be, the Federation's involvement in any State Assembly after the Assemblies' verification for service hardness and affirmation of formal public duties is well separated from daily Assembly operations and activities.

The Fiduciary role of the Federation is, was, and shall remain independent of State Assembly business and decision-making. Once a State Assembly achieves Standing, is confirmed, and Seatment is declared and implemented, the role of the Federation—particularly where The Peacekeeping Task Force (PKTF) is concerned—is limited to networking and interfacing with communications systems and service providers that may aid State Border Defense mission operations during emergencies. The Federation also advocates for these services on behalf of each respective State.

This division enables State Assemblies to maintain full sovereignty over their domestic affairs while enjoying the advantages of the Federation's support regarding emergency communications infrastructure and coordination during crises. For example, in case of a natural or manmade disaster, emergency services enabled by State Border Defense operations can include:

Coordinated Evacuation Efforts:
Employing advanced communications networks to lead civilians away from danger in case of widespread flooding or chemical leaks.

Resource Allocation:
Supplying rapid deployment of food, water, medical supplies, and personnel to the crisis zone in case of hurricanes or factory accidents.

These examples present the Federation as a facilitator, rather than a decision-making entity in State Assemblies. However, the question remains about how State Assemblies can further enhance internal accountability mechanisms for addressing potential issues within their own ranks—namely their Assembly Militias.






The Case for Strengthened Oversight Accountability
State Assemblies are tasked with making sure that their militias are operating effectively and safely in the event of an emergency. This includes making sure that proper planning, training, and safety measures have been conducted prior to deployment. In order to be able to achieve this level of accountability, it stands to reason that Assemblies should have a neutral expert—one who is closely familiar with the preparatory processes of their own militia—be a member of their Oversight Committees.

This individual would act as a link between the Oversight Committee and the Assembly Militia leadership, providing vital feedback on whether operations were within established guidelines. Their services would be particularly valuable in investigating allegations of misconduct or negligence on the part of militia commanders. For example:

If an accident occurs during deployment—for instance, unsafe evacuation procedures cause civilian harm—this expert could help determine whether proper protocols were followed during planning phases.

In cases where operational readiness is in doubt—such as poor training leading to ineffective disaster response—the expert could verify whether safety protocols were adequately practiced before deployment.

This same topic was broached at the top of initial training offered to our PKTF - Assembly Liaisons during April 2024 when inquiries from Liaisons at that time began. Due to the nature of how PKTF assists Assemblies with acheiving safe operational and productive State Border Defense concepts and ideas, the service lends itself to the possibility of cultivating someone who would operate in this capacity as a viable candidate to be selected by their State General Assembly during future planning beyond Seatment.

As it currently stands, no authorization or solid expectation that a PKTF - Assembly Liaison would fill this role if and when such a need may arise. However, PKTF stands ready to consider and implement proper planning and training for this role if the opportunity presents itself due to it's potential consideration by any and all State General Assemblies upon request.


Historical Precedents for Oversight Models
The inclusion of subject matter experts in oversight functions is not unprecedented:


State Defense Force Accountability Systems:
State Defense Force structures worldwide hold commanders accountable for adherence to training standards and operational readiness. The example shows how accountability can be merged with responsibility at command levels.


State-level Oversight Policies:
Oversight committees in a number of states employ experts to provide clarity to investigations into governmental operations. The policies emphasize the importance of specialized knowledge in determining compliance and performance.

Practical Application-

For a State Assembly to enact such a model, it would need to determine how to insert this expert role into its Oversight Committee structure. This individual would need to meet the following criteria:


Neutrality:
They would need to be independent of current militia leadership yet familiar with its preparation procedures.


Expertise:
Their background would need to include training by an external source such as the Federation so that they would be familiar with operational safety protocols and accountability measures.


Prioritize State Interests:
Their work will be solely in the interest of their respective State Assembly, with no allegiance to any other party outside of their initial training period.

This is in alignment with the principle that each State Assembly must be autonomous while creating accountability within its own structure.


Moving Forward
By including an individual with firsthand knowledge of their own State Assembly Militia's preparatory phases within Oversight Committees, Assemblies can further their own capacity for transparency and accountability. This role would act as a failsafe against operational failures while cultivating public trust in militia activities. As governance evolves, such innovative oversight systems may be required to address complex issues at the intersection of state security and public accountability.

In this way, every State Assembly can be guaranteed secure and effective militia activity while being independent of external control such as the Federation—a structure that accommodates autonomy and cooperation in the interest of public welfare during crises.

From the Peacekeeping Task Force to All American State Assemblies

"Guide us to where your inner peacekeepers are located in your State Assembly Militia sub-pillar, and we will meet you there."


 A sincere thank you to the 20-31 State Assemblies that have taken serious steps in peacekeeping activism. Your commitment to training, coordination, and progression demonstrates the strength of our shared mission. Yet, the past year has not been all smooth sailing, particularly in the area of communicating with Assemblies that are at varying stages of development. Miscommunication internally and silence have generally been the causes of unnecessary hurdles.

"Communication is King"—without it, there will be delays. PKTF is determined to walk beside each Assembly where they are in the process of assembling and bringing them along.


The Role of the PKTF - Assembly Liaison






The PKTF - Assembly Liaison provides critical services to all American State Assemblies, including:


State Assembly Standing Validation: Ensuring all offices are properly elected, published, and ratified by the Federation.


Peacekeeping and Law Enforcement Interface Advocacy: Helping Assemblies develop rapport with local and national law enforcement agencies.


International Outreach: Expanding the reach and authority of State Assemblies globally.


Emergency Services Maintenance: Providing equipment and training for effective emergency communication and management.


These services are offered at no charge for training in service management within the Peacekeeping Task Force. With participation levels currently ranging between 21-29 members per State Assembly from among the mean of just over 30—and growing monthly—PKTF remains committed to fostering collaboration and success.


The 6 Development Categories of State Assemblies so far


Each Assembly currently falls into one of six categories based on its development stage and growth trend. PKTF strives to meet each Assembly where they are, offering tailored support for their peacekeeping goals.

If you are now, or considering soon correcting your own political birthright status, and are aware of the current condition of your State Assembly, see where yours sits within this list of categories


1. Fully Functional with Major Interim Posts


These Assemblies have:


State Coordinators who have been selected.


An interim Marshal-at-Arms who actively engages with PKTF on State Border Defense systems.


An Ombudsman Service that is seeking training.


A functional or developing Oversight Committee.


PKTF's Role: These Assemblies are well-placed for Standing validation. PKTF provides guidance on conducting valid elections, posting results, and gaining full validation by the Federation. "Just point us to where your internal peacekeepers are, and we will meet you there."


2. Close to Completion but Missing Elections or Specific Roles


These Assemblies are close to completing requirements but are missing:


An interim Assembly Militia Commander or official elections for key roles.


PKTF's Role: PKTF assists these Assemblies with durable concepts and Federation wide updates on all other Assemblies in developing their Assembly Militia sub-pillar which best  prepares them for Standing validation with actionable plans.


3. Missing Ombudsman Service


These Assemblies have all other interim roles filled but lack an Ombudsman Service—a critical component for internal peacekeeping amid conflicts.


PKTF's Role: PKTF focuses on advocating for proper training, as well as surface level education preceding adaquete, certificable training establishing an Ombudsman Service while, themselves assisting greatly in the development of their own Assembly Militia sub-pillar.


4. Lacking Key Roles and Training


These Assemblies have significant gaps, including:


No acting Marshal-at-Arms working with PKTF on fundamental issues such as State Border Defense mechanisms or Assembly Militia build-up.


No Ombudsman Service or Assembly Militia Commander because of a lack of training efforts.


PKTF's Role: PKTF offers initial guidance to establish a legal foundation while prioritizing education and training.


5. Little Coordination but Lacking Core Offices


These Assemblies have a measure of coordination but no:


Interim Marshal-at-Arms or Ombudsman Service actively engaging in peacekeeping or border defense concepts with PKTF.


Assembly Militia sub-pillar.


PKTF's Role: In these cases, PKTF must engage directly with the General Assembly Coordinator as a temporary extension of the Federation when there are no other internal peacekeeping components.


6. Inactive or Unestablished


These Assemblies possess no quantifiable activity:


No identifiable State Marshal-at-Arms engaging in concepts of border defense or militia formation.


No Ombudsman Service, Assembly Militia sub-pillar, or available State Coordinators.


No internet presence or other evidence of organization.


PKTF's Role: As a last resort, PKTF contacts any available coordinator to encourage first steps toward lawful organization.


The Challenge of Engagement


In some rare cases periodically during 2024 situations, interim Marshals-at-Arms have, for some strange reason, and with no viable reason to do so, had chosen NOT to engage with PKTF on valuable discussions related to State Border Defense mechanisms or how their citizens could achieve this vital peacekeeping task through the Assembly Militia sub-pillar. As bizarre as that might sound when spoken by many of our readers, this was a true occurrence during 2024. Needless to say, this gross lack of engagement - decided by the one of two internal Assembly peacekeepers chose not to promote peaceful interaction which has significantly slowed growth in those certain States where these conversations are essential to advancing safety advocacy and organizational development.


The Importance of Communication



The pinnacle of PKTF’s services is built upon ensuring safety, maintaining open dialogue about safety protocols, and being well-organized in the event of an emergency. Without effective communication skills, all Assemblies risk unnecessary delays in their development process.


To all Assemblies: take this opportunity to further your cause for state sovereignty and peacekeeping. Together, we can ensure all Assemblies possess the tools they need to succeed!

It also incorporates new training modules on role-playing exercises, interview methods, database security procedures, and others. These additions prove our dedication to providing Liaisons with cutting-edge skills to keep up with changing needs.

As well as -

Frontlining the Mandate or Authority Designation of Services Definition as a Training Focus


Definition in Context: The mandate or designation is the formal responsibility granted to PKTF by the Federation, rooted in its charter, to provide support and services to State Assemblies. This foundation emphasizes collaboration and lawful service rather than authority.

Core Responsibilities: Liaisons act as bridges between State Assemblies and the Peacekeeping Task Force, ensuring effective communication, coordination, and support for Assembly Militia functions.

Practical Application: The mandate serves as the guiding principle for all Liaison activities, ensuring they align with the Federation’s objectives while fostering trust and cooperation in every interaction.

This focus underscores that the PKTF's role is based on a clear, structured framework of responsibility rather than unilateral authority over any County or State.




Building on Success
This handbook builds upon the 2024 service abstract—a visionary model that transformed an idea into a tangible framework. By refining this vision through logical successes, we’ve created a product that not only meets but exceeds expectations. Such iterative development has been key to our growth and will continue to guide our future endeavors.


A Worldwide Impact
Due to the concerted efforts of our personnel and international interest, over five Assemblies worldwide are now cooperating under this Peacekeeping Service project. This international participation says much about the strength of our common vision and commitment of everyone involved.


Looking Ahead with Gratitude
To all who offered words of encouragement, patience, and support during this initiative’s crucial first year—thank you. Your belief in our vision has been invaluable as we balanced multiple trajectories, from finalizing SWOT analyses to expanding our Directorate Staff. Together, we’ve achieved remarkable service development milestones in just 12 months.



As we step into 2025, let us rejoice in this collective achievement and keep striving for excellence in peacekeeping service. The future is bright, thanks to the unshakeable dedication of our Directors, Liaisons, and all those who make this noble and challenging work possible.
