Police

The police is a personification of a state or a country designated to put in practice the enforced law, protect property and reduce civil disorder in civilian matters until the Collapse.

Background
The police in the modern sense is born with the invention of modern state. In the late 1300s, the German invented the term "polizeiwissenschaft" (literally "science of police"). The equivalent of the "police" in the classical sense, the administration of the public policy of the city, going beyond the task itself safe, is found in the conceptualization, in the Germanic States, the Polizeiwissenschaft as well as cameral sciences.

Often cited the Marine Police Force of London and the City of Glasgow Police in Scotland and the prefecture of Paris, all created around 1800, as the ancestors of the modern organization of the modern police. They are only authorized to exercise the police power of that state within a defined legal or territorial area of responsibility. Police forces are often defined as organizations separate from any military forces, or other organizations involved in the defense of the state against foreign aggressors. Their powers and duties include:


 * Legitimized use of force
 * Law enforcement
 * Preservation of order
 * Protection of private property

During 2027 and 2052, police around the world faced many riots and must be supported by several SWAT officer in 2027 and the UNATCO and Majestic-12 in 2052. After the Collapse by 2072, the different systems of police around the world was disintegrated and the WTO took over, acting as a global police around the world.

Privatisation
Some cities, have outsourced their police by 2027, hiring private companies to do this job. Most notably, in the city of Hengsha, the Belltower company provides the city's police force.
