| Jump City Police Department Basic Information Because Jump City is home to more supervillains or heroes than some other cities, it is at the forefront in trying to maintain order and justice against these super powered threats. Even when the original titans grew up and moved onto other things, the JCPD remained to pick up the slack which created an increased need for equipment and training to better serve and protect.
Regular officers are equipped with specially designed Blaster Pistols, phasing out the more lethal "bullet slingers." These pistols pack a wallop against regular human beings, or non-super durable targets. But against the likes of Cinderblock, even an entire firing squad would only sting- which is still a feat considering the prototype "blaster rifles" had the same effect. Squad cars can come with a heavier Blaster Rifle which packs enough of a punch that even Cinderblock will feel it, and regular officers on the streets also commonly come equipped with a collapsable "stun baton" that delivers an adjustable shock on impact; which is HIGLY effective against most durable victims, excluding the likes of Cinderblock made of rock.
JCPD Swat Teams are naturally heavier equipped, and armed to crackdown on superpowered threats- like Cinderblock. Vanguard units are equipped with reinforced shields built to withstand a great deal of punishment, that can be deployed into the ground to act as half-cover. They will then crouch down behind them and lay down suppression fire using Heavy Blaster pistols, tear gas or similar non-lethal crowd control equipment while Blaster Rifle equipped SWAT take up positions behind them and try to take down the current threat. The rifles used are the same ones occasionally used by normal cops, and can with enough support put a hurting on even Cinderblock. BlockersSpecially designed robots previously used by Slade and The Brotherhood of Evil, refitted and repurposed for Law Enforcement. Standing at about 7ft tall weighing about 500lbs, these heavy duty robots are especially designed to combat metahumans. They do this with super strength that can easily toss cars about, strong pincers to trap victims, and a high powered thermal "eye beam." They do suffer from some flaws, one of which being their stiff movements against nimble opponents, and being top heavy. For comparison, a single cop stands NO chance against Cinderblock. A single Blocker will struggle against Cinderblock, but several Blocers coordinated can go toe to toe with Cinderblock. Overload and Plasmus however, have little trouble against them. Vigilance Security Forces "Affectionately" referred to as "Stormtroopers" for obvious reasons, these guys are seen almost anywhere that has something valuable or worth stealing- trying to keep said something safe. Belonging to a private security company, these mercenaries have made up the bulk of security for many businesses in Jump city and other cities to the point where people often confused them for being police. They were the pioneers and front runners of using experimental energy blasters which were effective against regular people, but did poorly against superpowered opponents like The Terrible Trio and many others. It was these constant failures which urged Jump City officials to push for improvements, and has these days forced Vigilance back into the background. Rumors are circulating that Vigilance Executives have working more behind the scenes to restructure and build their company back up in hopes of attracting more customers... | |
