Galactic Patrol [GP]

The Galactic Patrol was created in 4539 when then Theban Prime Minister Lafiel Masters became extremely angered at the increasing crime rates throughout the Cluster.

Historical & Background Information Of The Guild

The police unions were stymied about what they could do and were approached by Stellar Security Services who with the aid of the unions put forth a proposal for the Theban Cluster to sell all of the facilities and equipment to SSS who renamed themselves the Galactic Patrol.

During this process several loans were made to the GP to allow them to purchase the former police equipment while also giving them the funds to build several space stations as well as purchase several hundred corvettes and frigates.

The police unions folded their tents and the various Theban Cluster police forces were absorbed into the GP over the next five decades.

GP personnel are highly paid with very good benefits, they not only have a contract with the Cluster, but the Elharnian Combine, Watch Dog Alliance, UNSF, Fantan-Tyerian Republic, Claremont Confederacy, Independent Systems League, UCNS, Silverfield Republic, and Tunnel Union. It does not currently have contracts with the Neo-Prussian Empire, Hegeran Hegemony, Pirates Guild, and Malkenet Nebula.

The Galactic Patrol covers the same duty as a normal police force in both space and on the surface, sometimes acts as backup for system customs.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">The Galactic Patrol also operates a space station in ever system they have a contract. <p class="MsoNormal" style="background: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; mso-background-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Anti-Crime Division

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The major task of the ACD is to investigate and if possible shut down illegal gang activity throughout the Galaxy.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The ACD consists of both plainclothes detectives and undercover operatives that infiltrate the gangs.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The second task of the ACD is to act as liaisons with gangs who are trying nothing more than to keep the peace in their neighborhoods and prevent major disputes from turning the streets into war zones.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">There are two divisions within the ACD, Street Gang and Organized crime and these two often work together and pool resources since a lot of smaller gangs have a tendency to act as muscle for larger organized crime families.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Most of the time officers working the streets will take on mannerism and dress in accordance with the gangs that they work with so as to better integrate themselves and eliminate unneeded friction. Although this breaks the GP’s dress code rules most administrative heads allow it as long as the officers are showing results.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Generally ACD Detectives operate in groups of up to five and are often smaller units within a larger group during high profile investigations.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Most ACD detectives either drive personal vehicles or those purchased or loaned from the impound lots. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT"; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">Patrol division is the standard duty that the majority of Galactic Patrol officers perform and where everyone starts out of the academy. These officers are generally first responders, traffic enforcement, armed backup, and is the GP’s first line of defense. It is broken down into several smaller divisions within the larger Patrol Division - These branches include Interception, Road & Skyway Enforcement, Traffic, and Beat Divisions. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">The men and women of this division pilot small one man strike ships and the AV-Bikes used for fast patrolling of highways.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">There main job however is to provide fast backup and to assist in crisis situations and to act as fast pursuit and interception craft.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">Generally they patrol in singletons or pairs.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">These units are more heavily armored and faster and more powerful than the standard patrol units. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">The Road Enforcement division is responsible for making sure that all appropriate laws are being followed on the roadways and skyways. The RED does the majority of the ticketing and citation work of the Galactic Patrol. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">The Traffic Divisions sole job is to enforce road rules, they work with Road and Skyway Enforcement Division to do so, they are usually the one operating a ground base Radar and LIDAR station and then calling in units of RSED to pull over and ticket those violating the laws.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">They also take care of jaywalkers, school zones, traffic control, and are usually first responders to accidents, a subsection of traffic is the Meter Patrol that maintains the parking meters and tickets infractions. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">Beat cops are the standard street corner officers that can be found patrolling on foot through highly urbanized and city areas they generally operate alone or in pairs.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">Their job mostly consists of mostly promoting and active friendly police presence on the streets. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">The GP Bomb Squad consists of some of the most highly trained and skill EOD Experts [many of which are actually former military or in a few rare cases former criminals].

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">The main purpose of the BSD is to locate, defuse, and dispose of explosive materials and other munitions that can not be safely removed.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">They generally spend most of their time going through hours of rigorous training with real high stress situations a variable number of times a year depending on duty station.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">BSD members must be highly skilled, able to handle stressful situations, and have great reserves of patience. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">Crime Scene Investigators are considered the true brains of the Galactic Patrol; most CSI members hold multiple degrees in varying types of sciences.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">They are able to take even the most esoteric piece of evidence and ring as much information as they possible can out of it as well as the ability to observe the scene of the crime and most types accurately reconstruct what occurred.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">Among the numerous things they are able to determine they accurately determine cause of death, what was used as the instrument was used to commit the crime.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">The CSI covers ballistics, forensics, and coroner duties and work closely with investigating officers.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">Larger police stations have a CSI Division but some smaller less populated systems rely on a centrally located CSI Division located on the systems Tangier-Class Space-Station.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">These facilities include the most state of the art equipment that is upgraded frequently and has separate compartmentalized sections in case of NBC contamination that can be easily sealed off from the facility. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">SWAT itself consists of three branches, Standard, Cybernetic SWAT [Cy-SWAT], and Electronic Warfare SWAT [EW-SWAT] <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">SWAT stands for special weapons and tactics [although it has debated that they should be renamed Special Response Team or SRT].

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">SWAT is basically the equivalent of Special Forces for the police and is brought in on more dangerous situations where the perpetrators are heavily armed and bunkered in.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">SWAT includes breach and clear, assault, and sniper specialists as well as generally including personnel from Hostage Negotiations and Bomb Disposal.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">SWAT operates in teams of ten. <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">Cy-SWAT’s main job is to stop and contain rogue cyborgs and AI’s as well as individuals illegally using hard suits and mecha.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">Of all the Galactic Patrol divisions the Cy-SWAT is the most cybernetic ally enhanced and carries the heaviest of weaponry.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">Often times the Cy-SWAT does more damage than the rogue cyborg or mecha was doing while in the process of subduing them.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">Cy-SWAT is also responsible for the investigation of illegal cybernetic research and surgery as well as registration of all cybernetic enhancements and does routine investigations into numerous cybernetic clinics and manufacturers.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">It should be noted however that Cy-SWAT is still a tactical response team and goes through continuous rigorous training and even before a person is allowed to join Cy-SWAT they must undergo a 6 month evaluation course. This course tests the physical and mental endurance of candidates, who are mostly chosen from existing detectives and long service street officers.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">Cy-SWAT members are mostly considered jacks-of-all-trades and while specialization isn’t encouraged it isn’t discouraged and all members of the Cy-SWAT must undergo the same training.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">Cy-SWAT squads usually consist of ten personnel but some units are as large as fifteen, the Cy-SWAT also consists of heavy secure facilities to detain cybered individuals as well as a large counseling department.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">It should also be noted that Cy-SWAT is often called in as back-up for standard SWAT during larger scale operations even if no cyborged individuals or mecha is being used to commit the crime.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; mso-shading: white; mso-pattern: solid black;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">EW-SWAT

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">EW-SWAT’s job is to roam the highways of the Galactic Information Network and keep tabs on illegal activity being performed on the GIN.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">The EW-SWAT collects data to help shut illegal operations on the GIN down as well as acting as electronic back-up to other branches of the Galactic Patrol and as information gatherers for these branches as well.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">Most of the members of EW-SWAT have multiple degrees in computer sciences as well as a lot of them being former hackers offered jobs by the Galactic Patrol.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; mso-background-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Hostage Negotiations

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Probably the smallest branch of the Galactic Patrol, the smallest units generally consist of only 1 or 2 personnel who often times are members of other branches in extremely under-funded systems.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">These personnel generally have degrees in sociology and psychology and even a few have doctorates. They act as liaisons between the police and hostage takers and try to keep them calm and the situation from getting out of control.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The penultimate goal of this branch is the release of hostages unharmed and the surrender of the hostage taker but unfortunately most of the time they only serve as a distraction for the Enforcement Corps or SWAT teams.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Probably one of the most difficult and stressful jobs in the GP these women are considered brilliant with their ability to form connections with the hostage taker on an uncanny level.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">However not all hostage situations turn out for the good and people die and there is a high turnover of rate in this branch especially when it comes to the job of stopping attempted suicides which fail more often than a standard hostage situation.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; mso-background-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Homicide

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Homicide detectives investigate murder cases using the help of forensic evidence and questioning of friends, enemies, and relatives.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">To this extent they are able to tell whether a death was accidental or homicide and try to determine if homicide who the guilty parties are.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Homicide detectives generally operate in pairs and on larger and more high profile cases are often part of a group of detectives checking various avenues.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; mso-background-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Internal Affairs Division

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">IAD is the most hated and thankless job in the Galactic Patrol it is there job to police the police as it were. They investigate corruption in law enforcement and due to the nature of crime in the 7th Millennia this often requires IAD to plant an undercover officer in the midst of a group of suspected corrupted officers.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">This is probably the most dangerous of all jobs performed by a police officer considering that if an officer is convicted of a crime often they only last a few days once sent to prison.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Unfortunately even in an entity that pays its employees top dollar and has some of the best benefits around corruption is still spreading like a virus. Often small infractions such as not writing tickets for friends or family or mistreating prisoners [as long as it’s not taken too far] are mostly overlooked, but when a corrupt officer’s ambition reaches to far IAD is sent in to investigate.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Often as not IAD will drop an investigation due to lack of evidence or a better understanding of the situation on the investigators part, but in some cases really nasty deep dark secrets will be uncovered. These things generally include a solid link to organized crime or evidence of corruption reaching higher up the chain of command; these two are the most dangerous things to find out and will sometimes end in an IAD officer’s death.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">IAD recruits from all branches of the GP and offer a slightly larger salary than what they were being paid; most recruits take the job offer just for the chance to do what they had become a cop for in the first place, enforce and uphold the law.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Unfortunately IAD is not free of corruption and in some cases and investigator has to break the law. In worst case scenarios investigators have had to act the part of criminals themselves. In these rare cases the investigator is given special dispensation regarding these acts and often times will be given amnesty for these actions [even some of the most violent ones].

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Unfortunately IAD officers have had to play the role of dirty cop, drug dealer, even gun for hire, all of which can lead to legal mires.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Due to the chances of these acts the IAD officer usually remains anonymous except to his direct superior.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">When there is enough information gathered the corrupt officer’s are busted by regular IAD investigators.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The most elaborate steps are taken to ensure an officer’s cover story holds, complete personalities and histories are created and the officer’s records are sealed.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The cover story includes false ID, faked fingerprint and dental records, criminal records, and even disguises. <span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "BankGothic Md BT";">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; mso-background-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Narcotics

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Narcotics division investigates crimes involving possession, manufacture, transport, and distribution of both legal and illegal drugs. They also have the largest percentage of undercover investigations than most other departments and generally have better funding.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Narco officers generally operate as pairs but sometimes they can be found working solo and may even be part of a larger group if the case is high profile enough.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; mso-background-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Police Academy

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; mso-background-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Riot Division

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Riot Division deals with insurgency and hostile crowds, for obvious reasons there is no standing riot division but its members are pulled from the uniformed divisions as needed.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">If it is thought that a situation may become untenable ahead of time off-duty and auxiliary officers are called in as well.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; mso-background-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Robbery & Violent Crime Division

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Members of the RVD cover most of the crimes that don’t involve murder; these are either personal or business crimes.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">These crimes include but are not limited to - mugging, assault, domestic abuse, fights, theft, breaking and entering, stolen merchandise, vandalism, extortion, black mail, identity theft and anything else that doesn’t fall under the charter of one of the other divisions.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">While RVD has some specialists it is the general pool of detectives and where most new detectives get their start.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">RVD detectives generally work in pairs but it is not uncommon for them to be part of a larger group investigating a high profile case.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; mso-background-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Space Enforcement Division

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The Space Enforcement Division consists of the GP’s ship crews and special trained officers that operate in death pressure.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; mso-background-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Special Victims Unit

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The special victims unit investigates sex crimes, such as rape, molestation, incest, human trafficking, missing persons, slavery, and other crimes that are considered to be too sensitive for normal police.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Burn out rate for the SVU takes its toll due to the types of crimes investigated, but it should be noted that the detectives of this division are highly trained in their areas of expertise, it should also be noted that most types serial killers also fall under the auspices of the SVU.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The SVU works mostly with Robbery and Homicide but has been known to work with other departments in a limited capacity.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Generally SVU detectives operate in pairs but can be part of a larger group if investigating a higher profile case.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; mso-background-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Transportation Division

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">These pilots are trained to fly and drive the GP’s large transport and assault vehicles used to carry either large groups of personnel or prisoners.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify; mso-background-themecolor: text1;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Vice
