Lady Teresa discusses the various roles of police in society. Their primary function is to gather information from the public to relay to their superiors. This classic duty helps maintain control and monitor citizens, ensuring compliance with the regime. Additionally, they create an atmosphere of threat, instilling fear in the populace to keep them submissive and deter any opposition.

Moreover, the police engage in manipulative tactics to prevent dissent. They focus on discrediting individuals by planting evidence or coercing witnesses, turning people against one another. By creating scenarios of crime or scandal, they aim to foster an environment in which people are discouraged from conspiracy or resistance. This strategy builds a network of informants, contributing to the regime's oppressive control over the populace.
