When New Mombasa was [[Battle of Mombasa|attacked]] by the [[Covenant]] during the [[Battle for Earth]], they assisted the [[UNSC]] in fending off the invasion force.

During the battle, Commissioner Kinsler was entirely unconcerned of the civilian populace, only caring about his personal safety. Later, Kinsler remote-activated the Superintendent's [[New Mombasa Data Center|data center]]'s fire containment systems which flooded sublevel 9 with [[argon]], killing [[Daniel Endesha|Dr. Endesha]]. He also had the AI deactivated, and sent a team of officers into the data center to retrieve the data the Superintendent had collected. Due to the efforts of [[Mike Branley]] and [[Sadie Endesha]], the Superintendent was restarted. After boarding his private train and ordering his loyal officers to fire upon the crowd, Kinsler was killed when the Superintendent opened the doors, allowing the angry mob to tear him apart.<ref name="sadie"/> | During the battle, Commissioner Kinsler was entirely unconcerned of the civilian populace, only caring about his personal safety.

The NMPD also used the city's [[surveillance grid]] and the [[Superintendent]]'s monitoring cameras to control the city's populace. They also had full control over the Superintendent, and were able to shut it down from their headquarters. Among their other facilities, the NMPD also had a secure bunker outside the city for emergency situations.<ref name="sadie"/> | The NMPD also used the city's [[surveillance grid]] and the [[Superintendent]]'s monitoring cameras to control the city's populace.
