A Taris Police Officer. The primary law enforcement agency on the planet Taris was the Taris Civil Authority (also known as Taris Security), the top security force.
This organization was established in order to maintain the socioeconomic structure and to provide security for the various city sectors across the planet.
In 3964 BBY, Constable Sowrs was in charge of Taris Security. A significant problem they faced was managing swoop gangs such as the Black Vulkars and the Hidden Beks. This surge in gang-related crime was beginning to affect the Lower City, causing concern among Taris's business community.
Taris Security aided Jedi Master Lucien Draay as he attempted to capture the runaway Padawan Zayne Carrick. The police force received information indicating Carrick had been spotted in the refugee settlements just outside of Machineville. The attempt to apprehend Carrick at Junk Junction was unsuccessful, and he managed to leave the planet. Master Draay declined further assistance from Taris Security in the pursuit.
During the widespread riots that broke out three weeks following Zayne's second departure from the Taris Academy, half of the security force deserted Taris, while the remaining officers were forced back to the Upper City.
