I am providing an update on the HMPS Tayloe's recent operations. In addition to servicing transfers to BPA Parkhurst, we have begun to relieve overcrowding across the broader BPA estate by deporting foreign criminals back to their House of origin. These activities are currently being undertaken on an ad hoc basis, relying on reciprocal treaty arrangements. Despite this, the convoys exist in a legal limbo due to restrictions on the activities of Bretonian Police abroad. Due to this, we are only able to proceed with the consent and supervision of a local law enforcement official. So far, we have conducted two such operations - one in Rheinland and the other Liberty. 17.11.824 - Rheinland After taking on crew and loading on deportees, a security detail consisting of special constables Montgomery, Pendragon and Pickering assembled. We were met at Elbe Border Fortress by Kapitan zur See Karl Holzner aboard the [RM]KKS-Helle.Wolke and his wingman [RM]Obl-Jurgen.Schmidt. The transit through Rheinland was uneventful, passing by Essen Station in New Berlin, to avoid the potential for an incident at the Brandenburg-Wildau junction. After making good progress, we arrived at Sigma-15 and offloaded our deportees at Mecklenburg Prison. It seems they will be put to work in the penal work colony of Hammersee, which appears to be a thoroughly unpleasant place. A full load of Aluminium from the Hammersee mines was loaded for the return trip, which was due for delivery to the industrial districts of Planet New London. While departing from Hammersee orbit, we were approached by the Vernunft, a Valkyrie patrol ship we could not identify. Our escorts reassured us it was in the service of the MND; trading on reputation alone, finding ourselves under the MND's scrutiny was disquieting. Fortunately, there were no notable incidents between Sigma-15 and our return to Bretonian territory. Upon convoy arrival, a foreign service stipend was paid to all attending constables. Each acquitted themselves well, and reflected positively on the CDI's public image. 19.11.824 - Liberty A security detail was assembled in New London orbit, consisting of sergeant Appletree, and constables Arai, Beurling, Montgomery, Phearson, and the Community Outreach Program... "Intern" McAscott. A full brig of deportees were then transported to Curacao orbit, where we were to meet an escort wing of the 46th and [LN]. Upon arriving, we discovered an evolving situation involving an attempted ransom attack by a squadron of Liberty Rogues. The escort wing was dispatched to deal with this threat, while the convoy proceeded under the supervision of Admiral Boehm aboard the [LN]-LNS-Constellation. At the Constellation's direction, we were guided through California and New York, into Texas. In Houston orbit, the remainder of the Liberty Navy detail caught up, including Admiral Alan Jones. The Tayloe moored with the LPI Huntsville and offloaded the deportees. Initial Foreign Office orders to head to Pennsylvania to extract Bretonian nationals were then belayed, in favour of returning a community of Bretonian expats on Houston. The return was thankfully quiet, routing through Magellan to avoid the risk of a repeated security incident in Cortez. Upon reaching the Manchester Jump Gate, the Liberty detailed peeled off and returned to their duties. Instead, the escort was supplemented by Inspector Mayfield aboard the HMC Black Maria, and constable Pickering who had been carrying out domestic patrol duties in New London. The convoy proceeded at best speed to Planet Sprague, where the settlers were shuttled to the BMM Colonial Board to be assigned lodgings and employment. Again, I am pleased with the manner in which our constables comported themselves, with their actions reflecting well upon both Bretonia and the CDI with senior Liberty officers. Foreign service stipends were paid out to all members of the escort duty. These convoys have so far been a great success, and have also served as minor diplomatic initiatives with neighbouring Houses. The ad hoc nature of consent to conduct these exercises is an impediment to significantly addressing Bretonia's chronic prison overcrowding issues. Should we continue to build upon the goodwill generated by these exercises with foreign partners, it may serve as a diplomatic springboard for securing permanent legal exemptions to operate unsupervised in the future.
