The police force are the most powerful people in Hallow City, with the best weapons and equipment. They are there to serve and protect, whilst getting some benefit to themselves of course. Lots of the police in Hallow City are corrupt, the amount of power given to them meaning it is so easy to deal under the table. They enforce the law and so can break it whenever they please, such acts being ignored by their fellow officers who are most likely doing the same thing.

The police force is the best job to get in Hallow city, with the best pay and biggest security that it will never go bankrupt. There is three units to the force and the pay packet increases with each one, however it is trust and respect as well as attitude that earns a promotion.


The Day team
The day team is the starting point into the force, where new applicants go to be tried out. It is also where the officers that don't earn the chief of police's trust, and those not very good at the job stay. The Day team gets all the regular police jobs, looking into petty crimes and the less serious situations. The Day team are also in charge of patrolling the streets and guarding and protecting the rich. Its the easiest of the three teams but also gets the least pay. Most good cops don't make it past the day team, not having what it takes to be forceful. The good cops have also never done anything bad that they could be bribed with, and so are untrustworthy, they could easy snitch on the police to the public.


The Riot team
The riot team is the second most highly paid in the police force, and the pay packet is much higher than what you would get working outside the force. But this pay must be earned by risking your life every day and being ready with a gun. The members of the riot team are strong individuals, fully trained with weapons. They need to be able to hold themselves in dangerous situations, and be unafraid to use force and even kill when necessary. The Riot team was created when the Mayor started pumping more funds into the police, and like the name entails was created to crush the riots. The Riot team is also in charge of the more dangerous crimes like armed robbery, mass murder and violent protests where lots of civilians need taken down. The Riot team is the most dangerous job on the force, with most officers coming face to face with an armed weapon everyday. It is also the most powerful position to be in too, the keys of the city being theirs. Only the trusted get a place and if an officer doesn't prove their worth on the field, is demoted just as quickly as they were promoted.


The Strike team
What the strike team does is a mystery to everyone but the officers involved. It has the smallest amount of officers but they are the most trustworthy and brutal. All the members of the strike team believe fully in the cause, and are completely loyal. They get the largest pay packet and also the best of everything, the city paying for their services. A member of the strike team has a special badge, one they can use to eat free in any restaurant and get discounts in every store, as enforced by the law. But alongside this they also deal with criminals, having lots of time and power at their disposal. It is the safest place to be for a corrupt cop, with none of the other officers batting an eyelid if they do anything wrong.

The Strike team is the heart of the clean up the streets program, one that is focused on getting the city back on track. The thoughts behind the program being that if the excess people are removed, there will be enough jobs for everyone and so the city can prosper again. Basically clean the slate and start again. So all members of the population not contributing to society have been set to be murdered, like those out of a job and the homeless. The Strike team have started on the homeless, slaughtering all on site regardless of age or sex. The members of the strike team are cold and brutal, some even enjoying the work so the clean up the streets program is ahead of schedule. The program is secret and so nobody knows about how the homeless are being treated, the bodies dumped on the outskirts of the city, away from the public eye.

The life of a civilian in Hallow City is a hard one, one of little money and lots of fear. fear of the police, loosing their homes and jobs and also fear of the criminals that roam the streets. This has created huge amounts of stress within the population, and seeing the government only acting to the benefit of the rich, this stress has turned to anger. So those brave enough to show this anger have started protesting, making a stand and getting their voices heard. All of which has yet to make an impression apart from increasing the brutality of the police.

The protesters are average members of the population, people that have been pushed far too hard for far too long. The protests started off peaceful, brandishing banners and crowding around the rich estates. The protests have turned more and more violent however as they desperately try and get their voices heard. Large riots have taken place, causing the death of some police and many more civilians. The effects of such riots marring the streets with blackness and broken glass from the home made bombs. The riots have always been organised but once it starts the participants just do whatever they want, adding to the chaos of it but not helping the cause much.

Recently the protesting has become more organised and specific. Groups of activists targeting certain people and places to attack, mainly the rich. Recently people have been sneaking into the rich estates, setting cars on fire and spray painting buildings. All a nuisance and the police have the activists on the most wanted list, eager to get them in their clutches. Its dangerous taking part in the riots and being an activist, the chances of getting hurt or killed by the police being high. But it seems to be the only way of getting any change.
