[[Category:Mos]]
[[Category:Larkspur Combine]]
The police forces of the [[Mosi Republic]] are a mix between formal, informal, and commissioned organizations that occasionally work together in the name of law and order on [[Mos]]. Their overlapping duties, lack of an overarching hierarchy, and informal participation creates a great deal of tension between the various organizations which protect the common people of New Harmony and the frontier.
The police forces of the Mosi republic are primarily made up of the New Harmony Police Department, the Volkov Detective Company, and the Union of Sheriffs, Rangers, and Lawmen. Each of these organizations have been provided with some degree of legal authority, allowing them the right to capture, detain, or potentially kill in the name of protecting the lives, person, and property of the citizens of Mos. Unfortunately, where the jurisdiction of these groups begin, end, or overlap are at best a matter of debate, and at worst non existent, leading to frequent conflict and occasional collaborations.

==The Volkov Detective Company==
'''“Justice Never Sleeps”''' - Volkov Detective company motto
The Volkov Detective Company was once a private detective group operating out of New Harmony. The Volkovs, colloquially known as the hounds, had a stellar reputation for their dogged pursuit of justice and the law, having been known to chase a lead across the planet. Their reputation was so great in fact that when questions of jurisdiction and planetary policing came up, the Mosi republic purchased the services of the Volkov detective agency on retainer. The Volkov Detective company from that point onward was granted the full authority to act in the name of the Mosi republic in investigating criminal activity and bringing criminals to justice across all sovereign Mosi republic territories. This was meant to solve a number of issues between the frontier sheriffs, ranger, lawmen, and the NHPD, but only increased the standing issues by adding another competing police force to the mix. Because of jurisdictional conflicts, one of the many roles of this agency is “arbitrating” things underneath them but this can often add fuel to existing fires rather than putting them out.

==The Do Not Disturb List==
Colloquially called “The Untouchables,” There are many noteworthy officers, detectives, and lawmen in the various police forces of the Mosi republic; the following individuals stand out in that the Larkspur Combine consider them off limits due to their skill, integrity, or sheer destructive force. These individuals are not to be messed with, their investigations not hampered, and members of the combine are to stay out of their way.
'''Sergeant Luka ‘Iron Coffin’ Orlov''': ▼
Luka Orlov was one of the first members of the Blockbusters, and currently the oldest active officer of the NHPD. Famous for their custom suit of Hexiplate MK3 power armor, and their alleged immortality. Sergeant Orlov’s armor has several powerful enchantments that enhance their own magics, including a network of metamagical engravings on the interior of their armor that bolster the potency of their spellcraft several times over, a biomantic enchantment that causes their body to recover from wounds at an accelerated rate and survive wounds that would kill a normal man, and a technomatic interface which blurred the line of where Seargeant Orlov’s body ended and where his armor began. What truly earned Orlov his palace on this list however, was the incident that earned him the nickname “Iron Coffin”, in which for two hours Sergeant Orlov was legally dead when a hole was blown through his armor, destroying his heart and one lung. Through extreme willpower and use of magic Sergeant Orlov survived this ordeal, but as a consequence of his spell his body can no longer exist outside of his armor, as removing it would break the enchantment keeping him alive. Decades of bleed abuse have further blurred the line between man and machine, and there have been quite murmurings about the man needing to retire.▼

:'''Detective Agnessa Egorova'''
Detective Egorova is a famous detective and member of the Volkov Detective Company, well known for solving a number of high class capers, murders, and conspiracies in the upper crust of Mosi society. Detective Egorova is something of a celebrity with a penchant for the dramatic, and impeccable timing and mastery of deduction that have led some to believe she has developed divinatory powers. Detective Egorova has earned her place on this list not because she is incorruptible, however her pursuit of law, justice, and the truth above all other things do make her a problematic figure, but because of her popularity. Detective Egorova’s renown for exposing the crimes of the rich and powerful have made her very popular, that combined with her tendency to seek out the crimes of the rich and irresponsible largely have left the Combine out of her crosshairs. It has been decided that removing Detective Egorova is more trouble than it would be worth, and that it is better for all involved parties to simply avoid the woman.
▲'''Sheriff Stefan Lettiere''':
Sheriff Lettiere is a ranger and member of the Union of Sheriffs, Rangers, and Lawmen operating on the fringes of Mosi settlement. He patrols a large range of small towns, villages, and homesteads, making a month-long cricket between each location that have empowered him as their chief defender. This would not be a problem normally, except he has proven he has no fear for the Combine, and no respect for its attempts at bribery and manipulation. Sheriff Lattiere has killed no less than twenty members of the Albescu family who sought to leverage the debt of one of his protected towns into forced labor and relocation. The Sheriff did not stop at routing the Albescu interlopers, but chased their fleeing men back to new harmony where he killed three more, kidnapped the Capo in charge of the scheme and threw them into a tiny jail house in the middle of nowhere. Sheriff Lettiere later survived four assassination attempts, thwarted the Capo’s escape, capturing the two men who aided in the escape, and transferring all three to a much larger county jail. Due to the remote territory Sheriff Lettiere patrols, and their surprising tenacity, skill with firearms, and traps; It has been decided to let the Sheriff live and let live.
:'''Captain Ma’kalal “Showstopper” Jihir’Ivok'''
Captain Makal, as he’s called, is a Tar’et Lense who decided to make Mos their home. They were greeted with hospitality by their first encounter with the Police after an unfortunate confrontation due to a cultural misunderstanding, and decided that the NHPD would have a dedicated member. His natural talent and earnest ethic in spite of the grim realities of police work eventually had him selected to join the blockbusters and he earned the nickname “Showstopper” for his sheer presence being able to lock down many situations.
