Graal Metropolitan Police Department

The Graal Metropolitan Police Department, or G.M.P.D., is the largest police constabulary in the metropolitan city of Graal and one of the most infamous of the entire Exterior Plane. They largely serve each of the respective banking establishments, as Graal is a bankocracy and governed by them. However many of the banks often break the law, and many are even outright criminals running protection rackets, counterfeiting, stealing, murder and slave trade. As the law is governed by many who are breaking those laws the police, likewise, are severely corrupted and many are permitted to escape punishment through bribery, threats or, depending on the person, never caught in the first place. The department is managed overall by the Chief of Police who is currently Kale Median Snr.

Description
Description of departments, offices, rules, uniforms, ranks, etc.

Detective
Detective is not specifically a rank but a qualification that allows the bearer to act upon investigative cases. Only a Police Constable cannot be designated as a Detective, but every other rank (below the upper echelons where there is no need for the term) can have the term placed before their official rank - i.e. "Detective Sergeant" rather than just "Sergeant". Detectives are also considered 'plain clothes officers' as they are not expected to respond to emergency calls (unless that calls relates to a specific case that they are working on). When not engaged on an active case, however, even Detective Sergeants may be asked to go on patrol and lead their unit as usual (Ranks above Sergeant do not patrol). Detectives are not superior to their uniformed counterparts and are considered equal in rank and authority.

Police Constable
The Police Constables are the lowest rank in the police force for Graal. They are sometimes known as "patrol officers" as a large part of their duties pertains to patrolling the streets of the city, watching for crime. When patrolling they may be asked to respond to emergency calls. They are sometimes allowed to walk the streets, or "walk the beat", alone or in pairs but usually they are assigned to a unit. A unit consists of a Sergeant and three Police Constables. The constables must follow their Sergeant. If the Sergeant is also a Detective then the Police Constables may be tasked to investigative crimes.

Examples of Police Constables include the following characters;


 * Lestus Kyte
 * Louise Skydor

Sergeant
A sergeant within the GMPD ranks just above a Police Constable, the lowest rank. Sergeants are often put in charge of a unit - normally consisting of themself and three constables - and put on patrol. It is the Sergeants duty to lead this unit and follow the orders of their Inspector. If the Sergeant is a Detective Sergeant then he will lead his unit especially on investigative cases, such as murder or slave trading.

Examples of Sergeants include the following characters;


 * Kale Median

Inspector
An Inspector of the GMPD ranks above a Sergeant and will often be responsible for three or four units, a unit consisting of three Police Constables led by a single Sergeant. Usually an Inspector's duty is managerial and he/she won't go on patrol. If the Inspector is also a Detective then they may attend crime scenes personally to build up a case. If working on a large case then the Inspector may deploy all of his units on that one case, performing different tasks.

Chief of Police
The Chief of Police, or "Commissioner", is not expected to wear any kind of specific uniform, though he or she is expected to dress formally. Some Chiefs have been known to wear their own variant on detective uniforms but the current Chief of Police, Kale Median Snr, chooses to dress in business-wear. There is a medal to commemorate the rank and Chiefs of Police will often wear this medal around their neck if asked to attend some kind of ceremony.


 * Kale Median Snr

Chief Constable
Although the Chief of Police, or Commissioner, is considered the overall governor for the police force as a whole it is not truly the case. The Chief of Police governs only the area considered to be the core of Graal's policing area - Graal Metropolitan Police Department. In reality Graal has several police departments that cover various subdivisions of the city; named boroughs. These boroughs are governed, independently of the Commissioner, by Chief Constables. However these Chief Constables may surrender their authority to the Chief of Police if that Chief of Police wields significant sway over the Chief Constable - usually via corruption.

Kale Median Snr

Kale Median Snr is the current Chief of Police and is considered a positive force in Graal by many. However even Median Snr is not completely clean as scandal has touched even him relating to tales of an affair with a banking CEO many years prior - leading to the eventual divorce between him and his wife. His own son was accepted into the GMPD.

Kale Median (Jr)
     Main Article: Kale Median

Kale Median is the son of Kale Median Snr, from whom he inherited his name. Kale was seen as exceptional by his superiors during the academy and, with the weight of his father's rank, Kale was quickly accepted and asked to lead a small patrol unit. Since then Kale has led his unit to many arrests and has proven himself to be uncorruptable. However this has made him something of a target and others, including members of Kale's team, believe they are only protected from retaliation due to Kale's father.

Lestus Kyte

Lestus Kyte is a member of Kale Median's police unit and graduated at the same time as Kale, though from different classes. Lestus quickly proved himself trustworthy to Kale, but also more pliable than Kale. Lestus believes in getting a job done, no matter the process.
