Denebolian republic - Police Force
Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ministry of Defense
The Denebolian Police Force (DPF) serves as the primary law enforcement agency of the Denebolian Republic, operating under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Tasked with maintaining public safety, enforcing laws, and ensuring the stability of the Republic, the DPF operates in close collaboration with the Department of Justice & Legal Affairs to uphold legal standards and processes. While the police force primarily falls under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it occasionally coordinates with the Ministry of Defense in high-threat scenarios or during national emergencies, leveraging specialized support to address more complex threats.

Criminal Law & Punishment
DPF officers receive rigorous training at both the SHIELD Academy and the STARS Academy, where they undergo extensive courses in advanced combat, cyber defense, crisis management, and interstellar law. This dual-training approach ensures that officers are not only well-versed in traditional law enforcement but also equipped to handle high-tech and interstellar challenges. The DPF maintains its own vehicles and specialized equipment distinct from that used by STARS, SHIELD, and ARCANE. This includes patrol hovercraft, armored transports, rapid-response drones, and tactical gear fitted with state-of-the-art Denebolian technology. Officers are equipped with personalized energy shields, non-lethal incapacitation devices, and adaptive armor, all designed to provide maximum efficiency in both urban environments and hostile situations.
The DPF's integration of cutting-edge technology with its traditional policing practices allows it to efficiently protect citizens while upholding the core Denebolian values of equality, justice, and security. The force remains an essential pillar in maintaining the social order of the Republic, ensuring the safety of its people through a combination of technological innovation and a commitment to public service.
The Denebolian Republic's criminal law is rooted in the principles of justice, equality, and the protection of individual rights. Every citizen is entitled to a fair trial, legal representation, and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
Basic rights in the Republic include the right to privacy, freedom of speech, freedom of movement, and protection against unlawful detention. Law enforcement agencies, including the DPF, are bound by strict protocols to protect these rights during investigations and arrests.
The criminal code covers a wide range of offenses, from minor infractions to serious crimes such as treason, terrorism, and cyber espionage. Punishments are proportionate to the severity of the crime, with a strong emphasis on rehabilitation rather than purely punitive measures.
Police Force Divisions
Patrol & Public Safety Division
Criminal Investigations Division (CID)
Cyber-Crime & Digital Security Division
The backbone of the DPF, this division handles day-to-day law enforcement duties, including patrolling urban centers, responding to emergency calls, traffic control, and general public assistance. Officers within this division are the most visible to citizens and are trained to de-escalate tense situations and maintain public order. They utilize hovercraft patrol vehicles and drones for efficient urban monitoring.
This division focuses on investigating serious crimes such as homicides, kidnappings, organized crime, and high-profile thefts. CID officers are skilled detectives equipped with forensic tools, holographic reconstructions, and advanced data analysis systems. The division also has a specialized Cold Case Unit that leverages AI algorithms to solve long-standing unresolved cases.
In a technologically advanced society like the Denebolian Republic, cyber threats are a significant concern. This division specializes in combating hacking, digital fraud, cyber-espionage, and other forms of electronic crime. Officers in this division collaborate closely with SHIELD's cybersecurity experts to secure critical digital infrastructure and protect citizens' privacy. They are trained in advanced counter-hacking techniques and utilize AI-driven surveillance systems.
Counter-Terrorism and Tactical Response Unit (CTTR)
Forensic Science and Evidence Division
Special Operations Division (SOD)
The elite tactical arm of the DPF, this division is responsible for handling high-risk scenarios, including terrorism, armed hostage situations, and other critical incidents. Equipped with advanced exoskeleton suits and personal energy shields, CTTR units are deployed in high-stakes operations requiring immediate and decisive action. They work in close coordination with the Ministry of Defense during national emergencies.
This division is responsible for all forensic analysis, crime scene investigations, and evidence management. Officers are experts in using nanotechnology, holographic imaging, and DNA sequencing to gather and analyze evidence. The division plays a crucial role in supporting the Criminal Investigations Division by providing scientific data to solve complex cases.
Focused on handling unique, high-impact missions that fall outside the scope of regular policing, this division deals with interstellar smuggling, rogue factions, and highly dangerous criminals that threaten the stability of the Republic. SOD officers are trained at both the STARS and SHIELD Academies to ensure they can handle off-world operations if needed.
Internal Affairs and Integrity Division
Environmental and Disaster Response Unit (EDRU)
Logistics & Support Unit
This division ensures accountability within the DPF by investigating any allegations of corruption, misconduct, or abuse of power among officers. It maintains the integrity of the force and safeguards the public's trust. Officers in this division work independently and report directly to the Chief Commissioner and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In response to the unique environmental challenges on Denebol Prime and other colonies, this division focuses on responding to natural disasters, environmental crimes, and large-scale emergencies. EDRU officers are equipped with specialized vehicles and drones to conduct rapid assessments, evacuations, and relief operations.
Each division is supported by a dedicated Logistics and Support Unit, which manages the DPF's vehicles, equipment, and supplies, ensuring that officers in all divisions have the resources needed for their missions.
