Federal Police Precinct

Federal Police Precincts

Like the Fleet divided the area of Union Space into Sectors, Quadrants and Regions and assigned Regional Commands, Fleet Commands and Ships to each Fleet Patrol Region; so did the Federal Police. Only the Police calls these Patrol Regions “precincts”[1]. Their Size and make up varies greatly and usually include several Star Systems. A typical Precinct is Commanded by a Police Commandant ( Rank Lt. or higher). 5 Precincts form a Police Division headed by a Marshall. 5 Divisions is Regional Command, 100 Regional Commands form the Sector. There are 12 Sectors in the Milky Way Galaxy, 1 Sector for the Bridge, 3 for the LMC and 1 for the Andromeda Galaxy.

Each Precinct has at least one Patrol Ship (usually Jewel Victorias). Some Precincts have a SWAT team ( only the big ones) and each Division has a Police Science Department with forensic investigators and labs. Union Police officers are allowed to carry Weapons up to class V and their Ships may be armed up to Class VIII. Police ships are not allowed to have military grade weapons and must call the Navy for assistance.

[1]A precinct is a space enclosed by the walls or other boundaries of a particular place or building, or by an arbitrary and imaginary line drawn around it. The term has several different uses. It can, for example, refer to a division of a police department in a large city (either to the area patrolled or to the police station itself).
