Trenchport Police Department
The Trenchport Police Department is less a bastion of law enforcement and more a stronghold of organized crime in uniform. With its weathered brick façade and barred windows, it looms over the city as both a warning and a promise; They are a reminder that power, not justice, reigns in these streets.
​
At the center of this corrupted institution sits the Chief who is a figure as feared as any crime lord in Trenchport. Publicly, the Chief projects an image of no-nonsense authority and civic duty. Behind closed doors, they are the chief enforcer of the city’s criminal elite, ensuring that those who pay enough can break the law with impunity while their enemies face brutal consequences.
​
The deputies are a mix of thugs and mercenaries, chosen more for their loyalty to the Chief's private interests than their commitment to public service. Many run side hustles ranging from drug trafficking to protection rackets, using their badges as shields against repercussions. Others take bribes to look the other way when the city's criminal syndicates conduct their business.
​
For the average citizen, encountering the Police Department is a gamble. One where the odds are never in their favor. Victims of crime are often ignored unless their case serves the Chief's agenda. Reports vanish from records, evidence is tampered with, and witnesses conveniently disappear. Those who speak out risk finding themselves on the receiving end of the same brutality they hoped to escape.
​
The holding cells are a nightmare of their own; overcrowded, filthy, and violent. Detainees are held indefinitely without cause, especially if they cross the wrong people. Those with wealth or connections can buy their freedom, while the powerless languish or become leverage in the Chief’s ongoing power plays.
​
Rumors swirl of a secret interrogation chamber; a place where enemies of the Chief are broken and made to disappear. It’s said that no one who enters without the Chief's blessing ever leaves whole, if they leave at all.
​
Ultimately, the Trenchport Police Department is not about protecting the people and instead is about controlling them. Through fear, violence, and corruption, the Chief and his loyal enforcers maintain a stranglehold on the city, ensuring that power remains exactly where they want it; in their bloodstained hands.
