Contained within this document is the ranks of the Alterac Police Force and the responsibilities of said ranks. It also contains the current locations of Precincts, and current Departments. And finally, it contains all of the current holders of major positions.

Hierarchy and Ranks

Commissioner : The Figurehead for the entire police force, this person should be considered the Political representative of the Police Force. They also oversee all of the Precincts and the Captains that run them, but leaves the Captains to deal with individual problems. The Commissioners main responsibility is to be the Boss of the Bosses, and represent the Police Force as a whole.

Captain:  Captains are essentially a step under the Commissioner, though they report to him/her in the end. The Captain's responsibility is less of the Police Force as a whole, and more for running their own little slice of it. They each run their own Precinct, and are responsible every officer within it.This is a 24 Hour Job, and the Law never rests. They can place some responsibilities on the lower ranks, but probably have the hardest job out of anyone for the Police Force.

Lieutenant:  Lieutenants oversee an entire Platoon, essentially all the officers for a specific shift, which can be made up of several squads. This makes them responsible for all Police Operations during a certain time period.

Sergeant: Sergeant represent the first-line superiors, and are often the most important positions in Command Hierarchy. Sergeants typically oversee a squad of Patrol Officers. Sergeants are also the ranking officers at a scene if, or until they are relieved by someone of a higher rank.

Corporal:  This rank most signifies an intermediate position, between Police Officer and Sergeant. This rank is often given to Officers who perform exceptionally either in their service, or in training. Their duties are the same as an Officer.

They perform arrests, provide security, go out on patrols, and generally keep everyone just a bit safer.

<span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Detective: <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> This rank represents those who inspect past crimes, rather than trying to prevent them from happening, or stop the ones in progress. While a Detective does not directly control a crime scene, they do take control, providing direction and overseeing evidence collection. This position is often shaky as a Detective can very easily be demoted. However, these officers are very important in cleaning up what other officers might have missed.

<span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Head of Department: <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> Often this rank is mixed with other ranks, such as Captains and Lieutenants. A head of Department is, as the name suggests, head of a Department of the Alterac Police Force. These Departments can range from the Department of Investigations, to the Department of [Insert other Department here]. The responsibility of the department is often mixed with the usual duties, so only those with a very organized mind can be a Head of Department.

<span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Dangerous Response Unit: <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> Or D.R.U. for short, this unit deals specifically with situations that a normal Patrol officer cannot. Hostage situations, Major Busts, and any other situation that may need their assistance. Heavily armed, and well trained, these Officers are for dangerous situations only. And that's just the way they like it.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:24px;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Current Precincts:

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:16px;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">This information is always changing seeing as new Precincts are always being added.

<span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Alterac Precinct: <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> This is the Major Precinct, located in Alterac City, the current building is under construction, so it is mostly operated out of the Keep. This Precincts current Jurisdiction is all of Alterac, but this may change as more precincts are created.

<span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Lordaeron Precinct: <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> Located in Iron Ridge, this precinct is newly started, and small as of yet. It mostly deals with issues directly related  to Iron Ridge, but as it grows, then its operations will expand outwards. It’s current Jurisdiction is Iron Ridge, and any land Ruled by House McTash.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="line-height:21px;font-size:24px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Current Departments: <span style="line-height:21px;font-size:24px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Just with Precincts, this information will be constantly changing as more and more departments are created.

<span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Department of Investigation: <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> This departments, as expected, mostly deals with investigations. Consisting almost entirely of detectives, this is simply a department that can easily pool the resources needed to keep investigations going. It keeps Evidence neatly organized, and overall makes a detective's life easier.

<span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Department of D.R.U: <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> This Department is created solely for the Purpose of the D.R.U, to coordinate when and where it should be used. Not much else to say, other than it consists of mostly D.R.U. Officers, with a few higher ups and Investigators.

<span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Department of Arrests: <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> This Department mainly focuses on cataloging arrests made by officers in the field. This means mostly paperwork, so the department is rather small, consisting of only one Sergeant, and a few Officers.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Arial;font-size:24px;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;white-space:pre-wrap;line-height:1.38;">Current Officers:

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">As expected with the other two, this list will constantly change, as promotions, retirements, and yes, deaths occur. However,  this list will not have the name of every officer in it. Simply the High-Ranking positions, and the Departments Heads.

<span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Commissioner: <span style="font-size:16px;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(0,0,0);white-space:pre-wrap;"> Sir Kavid McTash.
