Law enforcement

Law enforcement agencies, often referred to as police and sometimes termed civilian security forces, are civilian organizations involved in the prevention of crime and apprehending criminals, maintaining public order, as well as other duties. These establishments are found on nearly all worlds within the Unified Earth Government's sphere of influence.

Operational history
During the First Battle of Harvest, Utgard Constabulary officers patrolled the Utgard Mall. Two constables named Finn and Lars were the personal bodyguards of Governor Thune.

Arcadian Patrol officers defended the colony of Arcadia from the invading Covenant forces during the Battle of Arcadia in 2531.

The New Mombasa Police Department had a significant role in the defense of their city during the Battle of Mombasa, where they cooperated with UNSC Marines in various operations around the city.

After the Human Covenant war, the law enforcement in Promesa became reputed for corruption amidst a multi-faction conflict between them, various Insurrectionist factions, and UEG peacekeepers.

Equipment
During the First Battle of Harvest, constables of Utgard Constabulary wore helmets, riot plating, and were armed with stun devices and plastic shields.

The New Mombasa Police Department used tactical utilities, with ballistic body armor and CH252 helmets with blast visors. For transport, the NMPD utilized a law enforcement variant of the HuCiv Genet, and a variant of the D77-TC Pelican to patrol the city's air space. Law enforcement units were also known to employ the "Peacekeeper" variant of the Cyclops exoskeleton for riot control purposes, with NMPD employing its own specialised "Sector 12" variant equipped with a riot shield. Most units, however, would be destroyed in the war once pressed into active combat duty.

Weaponry
They often use lighter weaponry than military personnel, though at least the NMPD is known to utilize military-grade weaponry.
