Mars Police Department
CharacterThe Mars Police Department is the Inter-Solar System Police branch responsible for the red planet, its officers bearing the PDM mark. Based in the sprawl of Alba City, it works bounties and major criminal cases under a familiar chief.
Overview
This branch handles law enforcement across Mars as part of the larger ISSP structure. Its officers are identifiable by the PDM lettering worn on their backs, and its operations run out of Alba City, the planet's dense urban center.
Role
The Martian branch policed the planet and issued bounties much like the rest of the ISSP network. In October 2071 it posted a reward for Lee Sampson and a second for whoever engineered the tanker truck blast that tore through Alba City. Those operations in the city fell under the authority of the local police chief.
