Since we have two players doing Police Officers plus some Law Enforcement secondary characters I typed this up to help clarify some stuff.
| CRESCENT CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT: |
Vigilant ad Mortem
Board of Police Commissioners:
The Crescent City Board of Police Commissioners also known as the Police Commission, is a five-member body of appointed officials which oversees the CCPD. The board is responsible for setting policies for the department and overseeing the CCPD's overall management and operations. The Chief of Police reports to the board, but the rest of the department reports to the chief.
Office of Internal Affairs:
The Office of Internal Affairs is an independent part of the CCPD that has oversight over the department's internal disciplinary process and reviewing complaints of officer misconduct. It is exempt from civil service and reports directly to the Board of Police Commissioners. The OIA receives copies of every complaint filed against members of the CCPD as well as tracking specific cases along with any resultant litigation. The OIA also conducts audits on select investigations and conducts regular reviews of the disciplinary system in order to ensure fairness and equity. As well as overseeing the CCPD's disciplinary process, Internal Affairs may undertake special investigations as directed by the Board of Police Commissioners.
The Office of Chief of Police:
The Office of the Chief of Police is the administrative office comprising the chief of staff, the Employee Relations Group, the Public Information Office, and Complaint Statistics. Also reporting to the chief of police is the special assistant for constitutional policing, whose office is divided into Fiscal Operations Division, Risk Management Division, Research and Planning Division, and Internal Audits and Inspections Division. The Professional Standards Bureau, which includes the Internal Affairs Group, Special Operations Division and Force Investigation Division, also reports directly to the chief of police.
Real-time Analysis and Critical Response Division/Computer Statistics maintains crime data. It holds regular weekly meetings within a purpose-built suite in the new Police Administration Building with the Chief of Police and senior officers. The Real-Time Analysis & Critical Response Division is composed of the Department Operations Section, which includes the Department Operations Center Unit, Department Operations Support Unit and the Incident Command Post Unit; Detective Support Section and the Crime Analysis Section. The Office of the Chief of Police shares a building with the Office of Operations within the Spires District of New Lilith.
Office of Operations:
The majority of the CCPD's approximately 10,000 officers are assigned within the Office of Operations, whose primary office is located in the Police Administration Building in the Spires District. An Assistant Chief commands the office, and reports directly to the chief of police.
The CCPD Office of Operations comprises 21 police stations, known officially as "areas" but also commonly referred to as "divisions." The 21 police stations or "divisions" are grouped geographically into each of three urban centers, each known as a "bureau."
Operations – New Lilith Bureau
The New Lilith Bureau is responsible for the urban center of New Lilith and is the most densely populated of the three patrol bureaus. It consists of five patrol divisions and a traffic division, which handles traffic-related duties such as accident investigation and the issuing of citations/tickets. The New Lilith Bureau should not be confused for the Police Administration Building and is located separately from the main headquarters in the East City district of New Lilith.

The Kilbride Bureau oversees north Crescent City primarily the area of Kilbride with the exception of Old Stone Mountain, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Los Paraíso Bureau. The Kilbride Bureau consists of four patrol divisions, Criminal Gang and Homicide Division and a traffic division, which handles traffic-related duties such as accident investigation and the issuing of citations/tickets. The Kilbride Bureau also has an off road vision which makes use of all-terrain vehicles as well as dual purposed motorcycles. This division is at times shared with the Los Paraíso Bureau.

The Los Paraíso Bureau consists of five patrol divisions and a traffic division, which handles traffic-related duties such as accident investigation and the issuing of citations and tickets. Traffic Divisions also conduct DUI enforcement through a DUI Task Force composed mostly of motorcycle or "motor" officers. In addition to this overt enforcement activity, the traffic detective bureau houses a Habitual Traffic Offender Unit (also known as an H2O detail), which conducts undercover surveillance of habitual DUI offenders and other criminals with suspended licenses.
