FCPD

The Freedom City Police Department is a shining example, thanks to the work of people like Mayor Michael O’Connor, Jr, Mayor Summers, and particularly Police Commissioner Barbara Kane. One of the first goals of the O’Connor administration was cleaning up corruption within the FCPD. Mayor O’Connor sought an honest cop in a police department—rife with graft—under the leadership of the thoroughly corrupt Commissioner Roy Alquist, long-time crony of Franklin Moore.
The Terminus Invasion interrupted the search, but showed the mayor part of his city’s future when Captain Barbara Kane held together a squad of terrified but dutiful cops and a few rookie superheroes to defend Bayview against a group of Omegadrones. She was the kind of cop the mayor wanted and later appointed to the Commissioner’s post over other senior police officials. Many of them objected, but soon resigned rather than face Internal Affairs investigations of their past activities. Although there are still some hard feelings among the officers of the department over the “inquisition,” most agree the current FCPD is better organized and run than ever.
The city government spares no expense for Kane or her department, but they also expect a return on their investment. Officers work on improving the safety of outlying neighborhoods and crack down on smuggling and organized crime. If the department’s success rate continues, Commissioner Kane is sure to keep her job directing the city’s police force well into the future. She has certainly earned the respect of the public and the men and women under her command.
