I was thinking instead of 

Low risk - Local Police 

Quite Risky - State Police

Escalating agencies who fight cartels from there.  I'm not quite sure how to upload images but I uploaded a mock image I made on imgur, I apologize, ill try to find the guide here shortly on how to properly post photos, but here's the mock up if interested!

I like the idea, but I think it would be better to approach it like the Wanted Level system in GTA. The higher the stars you have, the longer you stay in jail or prison.

Let's say we have 6 Wanted Levels:

0 Stars = Safe
1 Star = Low Risk
2 Stars = Slightly Risky
3 Stars = Quite Risky
4 Stars = Very Risky
5 Stars = Extremely Risky
6 Stars = Impossible

We can expand on this idea and introduce something like 'Person of Interest.' The star rating could be a standalone mechanic where even after getting out of jail, the stars don't vanish instantly but require a certain amount of time to completely remove. The more stars you have, the more likely you are to get jailed and for a longer duration.

In essence, the more stars you have, the harder jobs become. It mirrors real life where committing more crimes increases your chances of getting caught as the police become more familiar with you."
