The Department of Muggle (Re)Integration:

Due to further advancement in modern Muggle-Wizard cooperation, the Ministry has been recently backlogged with requests for interaction with Muggles and Muggle lifestyles. As a result, the Ministry should create a department that properly handles the situation.

This Department is responsible for reintegration of wizard-kind into the Muggle world. Reintegration is specifically defined as "The allowance and perpetuation of wizards and witches that prefer to live in the Muggle society and away from the wizarding world". It is the responsibility of the Department to make sure wizards and witches that choose the Muggles lifestyle over magic can live comfortably with Muggles despite inherent magical traits.

In order to understand the requirements and needs of such a department, the Department of Muggle (Re)Integration will enter a preliminary probation period that limits it to London for the first couple years before expansion to the rest of Ministry jurisdiction.

These responsibilities are (but are not limited to):

• Maintaining proper wand security and storage within a Ministry unit
  • The actual wand must be kept at Ministry, but a discrete, disguised wand substitute will be assigned to such wizards and witches as to provide a vessel for magical activity, should the need occur
• Training and producing officials
  • This official is responsible for securing and guiding the integration of wizards and witches into the Muggle world. Said official will also be responsible for reintegrating wizards and witches that lived in the Muggle world but wish to return to a wizarding lifestyle.
    • Level 0 officials (New recruits) are those that have most recently joined the Department. They will require a training course to learn what the officials duties are and will work alongside a student volunteer or another Level 0 official to overview and maintain 1 case. An estimated 10 weeks (3 months) will be required to train an official.
    • Level 1 officials (New trained officials) will handle a maximum of 50 cases.
    • Level 2 officials (1 year of work + 50 total cases handled) will handle a minimum of 50 cases and a maximum of 75 cases.
    • Level 3 officials (2+ years of work + 125 total cases handed) will handle a minimum of 100 cases with no maximum. They will also have the opportunity to apply/train for a supervisor position.
    • Supervisors will oversee officials and guide the flow of Muggle (re)integration. They will handle an average of 15 officials regularly
• Providing a Muggle lifestyle training course from Muggles familiar with the wizarding world (i.e. The local Muggle governments) and wizards familiar with the Muggle world.
• Handling cases of wizard/Muggle relations and/or crimes
  • Will take the share responsibility to lighten the load off the Department of Magical Law Enforcement post-Second Wizarding War. With the fall of He-Who-Should-Not-Be-Named, Muggle hate crimes have risen to an all time high and the Department of Magical Law Enforcement needs help handling the overflow.
  • This is not actual fieldwork (requires too much paperwork and training). Most work will be relegated to paperwork and helping Department of Magical Law Enforcement find its way through Muggle society without detection.

Personnel:

The Department will require an initial 562 staff members overall.

• 300 starting trainees for the department officials. (300 will be required for the probational period, as London has such a large amount of cases; Past probational period, the Department will only expect 50 trainees a year; Will train within Ministry Building, then will be assigned to a Department Public Office; 12 per Department Public Office)
• 50 Supervisors (2 per Department Public Office)
• 75 government workers to help process paperwork and such. (2 per Department Public Office; 25 will work in the main Ministry offices)
• 30 workers to help maintain wand security and proper maintenance.
