This building is currently under the control of the Fourth Empire.
Spoiler
Inside the building there are many people at various desks. They all have something in common, a badge. This badge certifies that they are members of a squad developed and devoted to doing just one thing, stopping crime. They are the Town Police.
As you walk into the foyer you can see a large doorway on the right in what you're sure is an outside wall. Looking through it you can see a set of metal stairs leading down to some more cells. A sign above the doorway says Cell Block Extension.A sign over the front desk reads "Amulets of Trueseeing in Operation. Please leave Lies and Illusions at the door." Behind and to one side of the desk in Captain office.
I will update this as often as I can, but please remember that it may not be current.
The Rules:
Spoiler
If anyone (even a citizen) gets evidence on a crime, and are able to track down the criminal, then they can arrest him. The suspect will be in jail for a period of time according to the crime, after which the criminal will be released back into town. Due to rights for a speedy trial, the criminal will be held at max for 48 hours in the station if we can't settle it in court.
When arresting, one must first ask the criminal to come quietly, and then if they do not they may subdue them, using lethal force at their discretion. Criminals wanted for murder, battery, or assault should expect lethal force to be used against them.

Parole and Weapon Restriction
Parole is served simply by being scryed on by the police for the duration of your parole. Weapon restriction is accomplished by wearing a bracelet provided by the OmniShop. This bracelet prevents you from using any aggressive magic or drawing weapons ((Aggressive magic includes harmful or unlawful uses of any magic)) The bracelet also prevents you from attempting to harm or remove the bracelet directly or indirectly. These weapon restricting bracelets are made of adamantine and are unable to be taken off normally by anyone other than a police officer.
Internal Discipline
Officers who are discovered to be neglectful or willfully derelict in their duty will be subject to disciplinary action. Infractions last for 1 month, and on officer who commits two infractions within a month will have his/her badge taken away, his/her powers as an officer revoked, and be asked to leave the force.
To Report A Crime - CHANGES! MAKE NOTE!
Spoiler
Please LINK to the thread where the crime was committed. We play this as real time, so if you enter the building after the crime, all you can do is collect evidence/statements to prove the crime. Anyone may collect evidence and report crimes.
To report a crime, fill out a report in the following manner.
1. Use quote tags to separate the report from the rest of your post.
2. Write out an in-character report, providing links to the appropriate threads. Please post links in "messy" format, rather than "pretty" format.
3. Merely posting that your character fills out a report is not sufficient. If I find that someone has done this without actually taking the time to write up a report, no report will be considered to have been filed, and any criminals you may have brought in will be released by the fairies. Furthermore, repeated failure to properly file a report may result in infractions being given out (see the Internal Discipline section, above).
((To Link,
1. Copy the address line http://www.giantitp...
2. Paste in the post
3. Place the [*url*] tag in front and [*/url*] at the end of the address.
4. Remove the * from the tags above.))
The Police Force- Current Officers and Joining the force
Spoiler
Joining the Force
To join the police force, either find the Captain or a Senior Officer of the appropriate department (see below) to swear you in. A police officer will receive weekly pay of 100gp, weapons (of your choice), weapon repair, and riot gear, a desk at the station, and room and board in the station barracks should they want to.
Senior Officers receive pay of 150gp each week, have authority over all normal officers, may deputize citizens and swear in new officers, and handle police station political matters should the captain be off duty.
Captains recieve pay of 200gp each week and have authority over all officers, may deputize citizens and swear in new officers, and handle police station political matters.
The force is divided into two departments, the Patrol and the Wardens.
The Patrol consist of those who are paid for detective work, town patrol duty, and a quick response team to back up citizens in reported fights.
The Wardens are made up of the people who jail and guard criminals, take care of legal and diplomatic matters, and scry on those people serving parole.
Each department has a separate Captain and a Senior Officer.
The badges given to the police act as badges of Trueseeing, and allow the police officer to contact any other badge-wearer with telepathy. They can either be pinned on, or aligned with the body's magnetic field to simply hold onto the wearer.
To be sworn in, you must first pass an alignment test. We accept no officers with Chaotic or Evil alignments. Once this test has been passed, the potential officer must answer the following questions in the affirmative:
Spoiler
Do you swear to uphold the law in this town?
Do you promise to obey the rules of the police as noted on page 1 of the police station thread?
Do you swear to the best of your ability to track and record crimes as well as apprehend and arrest criminals?
Our motto:
TO PROTECT AND SERVE THE GOOD CITIZENS OF TOWN.
This P.I. for hire will have you saying,'Who's laughing now?'
Officers who have not posted in the station within a month will be removed from duty unless good reason is given for their absence before or after said absence occurs.
The Station:
Spoiler
NPCs
Fairies Krista and Feorwyn are about the station to help take statements, open cells to release prisoners after time is served, and make fresh pots of coffee for waiting persons. Please use as you feel necessary. Feorwyn - She is pretty darn surly for a lady. Krista -she just wants to get the work done and is always running around hecticly. They feed you when you are in prision. So shut the shock up.
The station has been enchanted in the same manner as Trog's, so it may not be destroyed.
Cells
All cells in the station and the cell block are made of reinforced adamantine and enchanted to block all use of magic and psionics inside them. The cell doors are barred and have force in between them. Also an anit-agression feild is in them. You cannot attack anyone or anything while in the cell. Including yourself. Please don't try. Whether the officer who jails you posts it or not, it is assumed that the faeries take all your equipment and store it in a security locker. It is also assumed that the door is locked when you are put in. Also you are fed.

Current Occupants - Woman killed by the Geomancer's character
((The ceiling would still be there, since only the support structure would be made of metal. I would say. Um... Iames can say since he is now cheif. And it is sort of his plot.))
((Demons attacked the one time when I wasn't here, however my time was not completely unfruitful, I created a Dorje of True Creation! Not quite as powerful as reality revision, but it can be used to create items of up to 500 gp in value, so what was the ceiling made of? I also gained 3 levels in experience but blew all the gold on getting distant shot added to my staff, I really want triple-throw now too...))
EDIT: ((Right! I just need to make enough platinum and sell it and I can get triple throw and maybe Unerring accuracy too... Wonder how much the people at the omnishop charge for that...))
