The first and primary policy goal of the ISO is the increase of the number of Professional Civic Guardians in society, primarily within governmental institutions. The job of Professional Civic Guardian is very helpful for the capacity of the state to enhance societal lawfulness; therefore, Professional Civic Guardians ought to exist in large numbers so they may optimally fulfill their purpose of maintaining Comprehensive Social Deterrence. The ISO is very supportive of candidates and officials that support the expansion and presence of its Professional Civic Guardians. The ISO also favors ensuring that its Professional Civic Guardians are paid generously and have ample benefits to ensure their effectiveness and morale are kept sharp.

Those who become Volunteer Civic Guardians should also receive various benefits and rewards for their service. Their contribution to Comprehensive Social Deterrence is also valuable, for that, they should receive some form of incentive to encourage them to continue their volunteer work. The nature of these incentives will vary based on local laws, economic conditions, and so forth; one example would be a tax rebate for active Volunteer Civic Guardians. The ISO will design them based on what best fits the specific conditions.

The potential issues that Civic Guardians will experience as they do their work will vary tremendously, and it’s impossible to identify them all perfectly. The ISO will be proactive in identifying possible issues so it can push for legislation to make the job of Civic Guardians easier and more able to be accomplished. Any issue or legislation that may assist or harm the work of Civic Guardians will be met with a response by the Institute of Social Oversight (ISO).
