CharacterSection 3 is Japan's counterpart to America's Drug Enforcement Agency, running the country's anti-narcotics effort with cross-trained agents who can both fight and investigate. It reports to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Overview
Modeled on the American DEA, this branch exists to carry out Japan's policies against illegal drugs. It blends two skill sets in one body, drawing on personnel prepared for armed engagement as well as investigative casework.
