Skylight Police Department

Basic Info
The Skylight Police Department is the primary form of Law Enforcement for the country of Skylight. The organization is heavily based around Western Law Enforcement, and have been serving the country for over 70 years. The Skylight PD is well known for their powerful resources and equipment, all manufactured by and for the PD, with utmost secrecy around it's development. With the Officer's being heavily augmented for superior defense, strength, reflexes and efficiency, and state of the art weapons modified in house ranging for pulse to gauss, the department is more than well equipped to defend the country against any major threats.

While the Department is well equipped, it is also met with some controversy surrounding the secrecy of the equipment itself. Many, if not all Officers are not completely informed on what augments they have in total, and the health effects that may follow. Because of this, many Officers have reported senses of dull emotion, irregularities in body function, and lack of creative drive. However, Officer's are paid immensely well for their jobs, and have many benefits alongside it. The Department is well versed on taking care of it's own, and it's high levels of camaraderie, bravery and support.

The equipment and uniforms used by the Skylight PD are all mainly sourced from Earth through personal, public, and federation funding. Most supplies are bought in mass surplus brought to the Capitol Police Station for in-house modifications to fit modern day requirements. While uniforms are generally sourced from the United States of America, weapons have ranged all over from Dutch Machine Guns, to South African Alouette gunships, to Filipino M16A1s. The Department prides itself in it's vast list of equipment and capabilities, however, not many are sure of it's origin, where it's modified from, and how it's done in the first place.

The Skylight Basin itself however, is infamous both within the country, and within the Police Department for it's constant action, and high danger rate. Most Officer's working within the Basin Division are volunteers, who prefer the more dangerous and action filled form of Peacekeeping, over the frustrating life of enforcing traffic violations and petty laws that are more consistent within the Capitol. The sub-division special to the area, The Basin Division Peace Corps, has gained a reputation among Officers of being battle hardened, tough Officers who enjoy and seek combat, earning itself the nickname of "The Bad Pack", a rough abbreviation of the sub-divisions name (B.D.P.C).

For the general well-being of the Officers in this division, they are given strict orders to only enforce a certain list of laws, being Vandalism/Destruction, Disturbing the Peace, Public Endangerment, Harassment, Disorderly Conduct, Battery, Assault, Affray (Fighting in Public), and Murder. Strangely, Officers are also permitted to use their best judgement to enforce other laws such as Federal, or laws that exist outside of the Basin.
