Seven State Police

The Seven State Police are by necessity probably the most decentralized of any police body in Lovia. They are presently organized into two major working groups: the Metropolitan Precinct, covering American and Philosophers, is headquartered in Kinley, and also supporting a smaller detachment on the outskirts of Novosevensk; while the Wilderness Precinct presently operates out of a camp on British Island and patrols the remaining islands largely by boat, foot, and mountain-bike, except for Bird Island, which is a national park.

Due to the sensitive ecological nature of many areas under their jurisdiction, and the need for healthy individuals capable of functioning for extended periods in primitive conditions, the department has lately targeted much of their recruiting to the backpack-trekker, alpinist, and mountain-bike communities. Several members of the force have already visited the Himalayas prior to joining, and the SSP plan to sponsor a group at Everest next spring; this would make them the first police department from outside of the Asian continent to do this.
