The Vigilistum is one of the largest police forces in the known Universe with billions of operatives working to bring order and justice to the five galaxies. The Vigilistum does not 'manage' all of the local police forces in the Empire instead the Vigilistum is more focused with enforcing Imperial Law and Order things like tax collecting, local affairs, petty crimes, and many others are not considered 'their problem'

The basic police of the Empire are known as Vigils they are either 'Imperial Vigils' and are directly managed by the Vigilistum or 'Local Vigils' who are pretty much local police forces. Imperial Vigils are ranked above Local Vigils.

After Vigils come the 'Urban Cohorts' which are the riot police of the Empire and are managed by the Vigilistum. Each world has a handful of Cohorts and fortresses in case of revolt or mass insurrection they are given to authority to 'kill on sight' and tend to commit rather brutal and fast crackdowns upon rebellions populations. In the cases of planetary revolts the Fortresses tend to be the last bastions of Imperial order and law.

Urban Cohorts are rather feared in the Empire seeing as they aren't meant to be clam and understanding like the vigils. The Urban Cohorts are expected to be ruthless and to show no mercy what so ever. They are also designed to be scary (Armor wise) with each suit of armor being painted black and having a death mask.

Above the Urban Cohorts come the Judges who are both supreme authorities when it comes to law and commanders of the Urban Cohorts. They have already been covered so not much else.
