In intersections, InterSec Guards are one of the very few permanent residents, alongside shop owners. Applicants must be willing to move into an intersection, and must also comply with local restrictions. Like with towns, certain intersections may be considered to be inside the sphere of influence of a particular faction, which may, in turn, affect the local rules.
The duties and responsibilities of a Guard are those expected of local law enforcement; patrolling their community, looking out for trouble and troublemakers, mediating or resolving conflicts, and repelling invasions of critters and criminals. They are expected to follow a code of force escalation against sapient creatures, preferring to dissuade first, arrest and detain second, and shoot to kill only as a last resort. Typical Guard duties usually involve town patrol, gate duty, office work, or jail duty. As part of a patrol team, Guards are usually in pairs and walk around the busiest parts of town to ensure that everything is in order. When on gate duty, groups of 2 to 4 Guards work shifts (day and night) at the Town Gate, observing people entering and leaving, making sure to keep out known troublemakers and critters trying to pour in from the UA. When assigned to office work, a Guard will be doing one of various tasks inside of the local TownSec or InterSec headquarters, such as paperwork (commonly called ''desk duty''), call operator duty (acting as a relay between local residents calling for help and local Town Security, may also contact the [[Maze Police]], if the town follows Standard Law and requires further assistance), and armorer duty. When assigned to jail duty, Guards will spend most of their time underneath the Town Hall, in the local Town Jail, where they will watch over any currently held prisoners, keeping them fed twice a day, and escorting them in and out of the jail's interrogation room whenever necessary.
Guards are subordinate to their local [[TownSec Chief|Chief]], who in turn answers directly to the local [[Town Mayor|Mayor]]. In communities protected by Standard Law, they function as "first responders" and may request backup from the Maze Police to assist in any of their duties, the most important of which is the transfer and processing of [[prisoner|prisoners]] out of their local jails and into the Police's correctional facilities.
