Widely held to be a bastion of justice throughout Sirius, the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is respected by friends and foes alike. It is responsible for the public safety of all [[Bretonia|Bretonian]] citizens and foreign visitors, provided that they are not hostile towards [[Bretonia]], it's allies, or itself. Typical tasks include scanning [[transports]] for [[contraband]], collecting fines, and operating the important [[Nomad Transportation Licensure Board]]. As [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] constables are also responsible for the safety of the public, they will engage pirates, terrorists, and other enemies only when they are a threat to them and the public. | Widely held to be a bastion of justice throughout Sirius, the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is respected by friends and foes alike.

| + | |||
| + | Unlike the [[Bretonia Armed Forces|BAF]], which is aggressively dedicated to the defense of [[Bretonia]] from external powers, such as the [[Kusari Naval Forces]], the [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is not interested in such matters. In fact, pursuing these matters is completely out of it's jurisdiction. The [[Bretonia Police Authority|BPA]] is dedicated to the defense of [[Bretonia]] from within. The primary concern is that Bretonia does not break down from rampant crime within while the nation is subjected to multiple attacks every day from [[Kusari|Kusarianese]] Forces. | ||

| + | |||
| + | Due to the confrontation with more and more criminals piloting [[capital ships]] and the [[Bretonia Armed Forces|Armed Forces]] being occupied in the Kusari-war, the BPA under former Commissioner Sir Alan Lauderdale created a special sub-division within itself: the Special Response Division (SRD).

Synopsis
As the name states, the Bretonia Police Authority (BPA) is the official police force within the Bretonian nation.
Widely held to be a bastion of justice throughout Sirius, the BPA is respected by friends and foes alike. It is responsible for the public safety of all Bretonian citizens and foreign visitors, provided that they are not hostile towards Bretonia, it's allies, or itself. Typical tasks include scanning transports for contraband, collecting fines, and operating the important Nomad Transportation Licensure Board. As BPA constables are also responsible for the safety of the public, they will engage pirates, terrorists, and other enemies only when they are a threat to them and the public.
The BPA is a lawful, police faction, with certain distinct differences with the lawful, Bretonia Armed Forces (BAF) faction.
Unlike the BAF, which is aggressively dedicated to the defense of Bretonia from external powers, such as the Kusari Naval Forces, the BPA is not interested in such matters. In fact, pursuing these matters is completely out of it's jurisdiction. The BPA is dedicated to the defense of Bretonia from within. The primary concern is that Bretonia does not break down from rampant crime within while the nation is subjected to multiple attacks every day from Kusarianese Forces.
Thus, the BPA has a Zone of Interest that is restricted to Bretonian space. Only when escorting VIPs will the BPA temporarily leave Bretonia space for a Border World system.
Due to the confrontation with more and more criminals piloting capital ships and the Armed Forces being occupied in the Kusari-war, the BPA under former Commissioner Sir Alan Lauderdale created a special sub-division within itself: the Special Response Division (SRD). The SRD consists of a team of Challenger pilots, acting as the ultima ratio when the BPA is confronted with capital vessels.
Also, partially due to the Tau-31 Blockade, the BPA was and is confronted with violent smugglers and blockade runners on a daily base. In 816 A.S. it was decided to fight fire with fire and the Commerce Control Division (CCD) was introduced by former Commissioner Joshua Cooper. CCD Captains are senior BPA pilots, entrusted with a freighter or transport class ship, able to oppose hostile transports and seizing illegal cargo.
Organization
Chain of Command
Police Commissioner
The supreme leader of the BPA, the Police Commissioner, is responsible for the actions of the BPA in general, as well as the distribution of tasks to lower ranked constables.
Chief Constables
There are a total of five section chiefs and equivalents who are Chief Constables in command of those particular regions. In those areas, the Chief Constable's Jurisdiction is supreme, excluding the Leeds-Newcastle Sectional Chief who shares authority with the BAF in Leeds. Chief Constables in other Chief Constable's regions are subject to the authority of the home Chief Constable. The Chief Constables are: the New London Metropolitan Section Chief, the Leeds-Newcastle Sectional Chief, the Warden of Newgate, the Sheriff of Edinburgh, the Cambridge Section Chief and the Dublin BPA-BAF Liaison Officer.
Commanders
The most loyal, devoted and skillful constables of the BPA rank Commanders. They have a certain authority over lower ranked constables and are a welcomed sight throughout the realm.
Captains
When an officer is known to have leading qualities, has served the BPA for a remarkable amount of time and shows exceptional responsibility and seriousness in duty, he is promoted to Captain rank.
Senior Constables
Senior Constables are experienced pilots who have spend a longer amount of time in the BPA. They are entrusted with more important tasks and are expected to serve as guides and paragons for other constables.
Constables
Constables are the firm base of BPA pilots. They are taking care of the every-day work in Bretonia and can, as AFO-licensed, assist the BAF in combat.
Junior Constables
Junior Constables are fresh recruits, and pilots without AFO license. After a certain time in training on patrols, the Junior Constable will be promoted to Constable rank and receive his or her AFO license.
AFO Policy
Weapons of lethal nature should not be used by the BPA. The BPA is a peace-keeping police force, and intends to respond to actions in a peaceful manner. It is recognized, however, that certain individuals do not possess the same dignity or respect for human life as the BPA. As a result, Constables and Officers alike can apply to become AFOs, or Authorized Firearms Officers, and mount weapons and nuclear mines. Regardless of status, however, all Constables should have some ability to disrupt tradelanes in order to apprehend fleeing criminals. As a result, Non-AFO Constables and Junior Constables may mount one Adv. Debilitator(Available on Planet Leeds) to assist in the disruption of tradelanes.
In order to become an AFO, the Constable or Officer must prove themselves to be excellent individuals in the Bretonian community as well as the BPA as a whole. AFOs are expected to act with maturity and restraint when using their weapons. Stray fire and play-shooting are discouraged, as these weapons are to be taken seriously.
A Hussar should only carry the following equipment in order to classify as unarmed: 1 Adv. Debilitator, 1 Train Cruise Disruptor, 1 Counter Measure.
