New Mombasa Police Department: Difference between revisions

During the [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] [[Battle of Mombasa|invasion of Mombasa]], the NMPD controlled the evacuation of the city along with several [[UNSC Marine Corps|UNSC Marine]] and [[UNSC Army|Army]] units.<ref>''[[Halo: Evolutions - Essential Tales of the Halo Universe|Halo: Evolutions]]'', [[Palace Hotel]]</ref> During the evacuation, [[propaganda]] was constantly being announced to the citizens, while the department's [[communications duty officer]] was in contact with the [[UNSC Navy]] and [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]].<ref name="sadie"/> While operational during the first hours of the battle, the NMPD Headquarters was lost to the Covenant later in the day.<ref name="odst"/>

During the battle, Commissioner Kinsler was entirely unconcerned of the civilian populace, only caring about his personal safety. Later, Kinsler remote-activated the [[Superintendent|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"/>

Later in the day, all of the remaining NMPD forces were called to the Marines' [[Rally point (terminology)|rally point]] at the entrance to the [[ONI Alpha Site (location)|ONI Alpha Site]]. They defended the facility with the UNSC Marines, only to be forced to fall back and eventually destroy the building in order to prevent ONI's data from falling into enemy hands. They managed to escape by having one of [[D77C-NMPD Pelican|their Pelicans]] pick them and two ODSTs up, but it later crashed near the NMPD headquaters after being shot down by two [[Type-26 Banshee|Covenant Banshees]]. Later, the team in the data center failed in their mission, as all of them were killed by Covenant present within the facility, except for [[Unidentified NMPD officer|one officer]] who was eventually killed when he attacked [[Rookie|an ODST]] after finding [[Daniel Endesha|Endesha's]] body.<ref name="odst"/>

The standard kit for the NMPD officer was an all black uniform, consisting of a utility uniform, body armor, and a modified [[CH252 helmet]] with a blast-visor. NMPD [[pilot]]s wore a specialised pilot helmet and body armour similar to that of their UNSC counterparts, that could be worn in brown or white.<ref name="Pelican Air Base">[https://www.megaconstrux.com/en-us/worlds/halo/playsets/nmpd-pelican-air-base-cpf71 ''Megabloks'': NMPD Pelican Air Base]</ref><ref name="Air Support Hornet"/> Their armament included weapons such as the [[MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System|MA5C]] and [[MA37 assault rifle|MA37]] assault rifles,<ref name="Customization Pack">[https://www.megaconstrux.com/en-us/worlds/halo/playsets/customizer-nmpd-pack-cnc96 ''Megabloks'': Customizer NMPD Pack]</ref> [[M90A shotgun]], [[M6C/SOCOM]] and [[M6D magnum]] pistols, [[M7S/Caseless Submachine Gun]], and the [[BR55 Heavy Barrel Service Rifle]]. NMPD also had [[Special Weapons And Tactics|SWAT teams]], who often utilized [[flashbang grenade]]s.<ref name="sadie"/> The NMPD also employed the [[M319 grenade launcher]]<ref name="NMPD Warthog"/> and [[SRS99D-S2 AM sniper rifle]].<ref name="Air Support Hornet"/><ref name="Customization Pack"/> For riot situations, NMPD officers also had access to riot shields.<ref name="Customization Pack"/>

In addition to the hundreds of modified [[HuCiv]] [[Genet]] police vehicles patrolling the streets, the New Mombasa Police Department also maintained a fleet of [[D77C-NMPD Pelican]] dropships in Police livery. Notable additions included a high speed camera on the bow of the dropship, and a rescue cable at the rear of the troop bay. These dropships could be armed with the [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun]] in the troop bay.<ref name="odst"/> The NMPD also employs a riot-variant of the [[HRUNTING Mark III Cyclops|Cyclops]] mech known as the "[[Sector 12 Police Cyclops|Sector 12 Cyclops]]", armed with a heavy machine gun and a riot shield.<ref>[https://www.megaconstrux.com/en-us/worlds/halo/playsets/sector-12-police-cyclops-97326 ''Megabloks'': SECTOR 12 POLICE CYCLOPS]</ref> The NMPD also maintains its own variants of the [[AV-14 Hornet]] and [[M831 Troop Transport Warthog]].<ref name="Air Support Hornet">[https://www.megaconstrux.com/en-us/worlds/halo/playsets/police-air-support-hornet-97429 ''Megabloks'': Police Air Support Hornet]</ref><ref name="NMPD Warthog">[https://www.megaconstrux.com/en-us/worlds/halo/playsets/nmpd-warthog-cnh06 ''Megabloks'': NMPD Warthog]</ref>

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"/>
