The Altis Police Service (APS), formerly known as the Altis Police Constabulary (APC) is the territorial police force responsible for law enforcement on Altis, covering an area of 270 km2 with around 230 officers.

Operational structure

The Altis Police Service is organised into the following directorates:

  • Frontline Policing
  • Specialist Operations
  • Multi-agency Operations

Each is overseen by at least one Deputy Chief Constable and Assistant Chief Constable, the Altis Police Services management comprises of two main structures, Police Command (officers of the ranks Chief Constable, Deputy Chief Constable and Assistant Chief Constable), and the Police Board which is a larger, and intentionally representative group of Police Officers, holding senior positions in both Constabularies, Specialist Units or as Constabulary Representatives.

Frontline Policing

For operational purposes, the Altis Police Service is divided into five geographical divisions known within the force as "constabularies". These mainly represent the main population centres on Altis, (being Kavala, Agios and Athira) however some constabularies also serve specialist roles, being the Road Traffic Unit and Police Academy.

The five existing divisions with their divisional identifiers and their divisional commander are as follows:

Identifier District Partnership Working Areas District Commander District HQ
KV City Of Kavala "The Square Mile" (Kavala City Centre) Chief Superintendent Josh Kavala Police Station
WA West Altis Towns and Cities to the West of Agios (including Agios) Chief Superintendent Deathstroke Agios Police Station
EA East Altis Towns and Cities to the East of Agios (not including Agios) Chief Superintendent Gremlin Athira Police Station
RT Road Traffic Unit The Motorways of Altis Chief Superintendent Sciencefreak Dependent on operational requirements
AC Police Academy Responsible for training officers Chief Superintendent Harry White Affected by location of trainees

The force headquarters is located at Kavala Police Station in the Kavala Bay area.

Ranks

The Altis Police Service uses the standard British police ranks, indicated by shoulder boards (epaulettes), up to Chief Constable.

Following controversy over various Police Complaints where officers refused to identify themselves by name and a statement by Chief Constable Tadworth in early 2016 that "the public has a right to be able to identify any uniformed officer whilst performing their duty", collar numbers were introduced, which are allocated individually to each officer, who must tell you their collar number except from in a small amount of specific circumstances. Every officer (except those that are masked or plain clothed) is required to display their collar number at all times.

  • Police Community Support Officer (PCSO): The rank assigned to all newly recruited officers, displayed by a blue epaulette with "PCSO" written on it.
  • Probationary Police Constable (Prob. PC): "PC" written on the epaulette with "Police Constable", name and collar number also displayed.
  • Police Constable (PC): "PC" Written on the epaulette with "Police Constable", name and collar number also displayed. Note that any officer above Police Constable has passed all their initial training as provided by the Police Academy and therefore at this point officers become entirely responsible for their own decision making in relation to the National Decision Model (NDM)
  • Sergeant (SGT): Three pointing-down chevrons above the divisional call sign and shoulder number, officers above this rank may have additional powers to authorise specific actions.
  • Inspector (INS): Two Order of the Bath stars, informally known as "pips".
  • Chief Inspector (CI): Three pips.
  • Superintendent (SI): Single crown, this is the first Constabulary Command rank.
  • Chief Superintendent (CSI): Single crown over one pip.
  • Assistant Chief Constable (ACC): Crossed tipstaves in a bayleaf wreath, this is the first Police Command rank.
  • Deputy Chief Constable (DCC): One pip over Assistant Chief Constable's badge.
  • Chief Constable (CC):Crown over Commander's badge.
