The '''New Mombasa Police Department''' (or '''NMPD''') was the primary [[law enforcement]] agency of the [[city]] of [[New Mombasa]], [[Kenya]].<ref name="odst">''Halo 3: ODST''</ref> The NMPD was also charged with operating in [[Old Mombasa]], in addition to their normal routines in the industrialized metropolis of New Mombasa.<ref>''Halo 2: Anniversary'', campaign levels [[Outskirts]] and [[Metropolis]]</ref> The [[NMPD headquarters]] was located at the [[Tanaga|Tanaga district]] of New Mombasa.
The '''New Mombasa Police Department''' (or '''NMPD''') was the primary [[Civilian security forces|law enforcement agency]] of [[New Mombasa|New]] [[Mombasa]], [[Kenya]].<ref name="odst">'''Halo 3: ODST'''</ref>


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. At the time of the Covenant invasion they were under the command of Commissioner [[Kinsler]], a highly corrupt official who used them as his private army. While some officers were loyal to Kinsler, there were also many officers who resented him.<ref name="sadie">''Halo 3: ODST'', [[Sadie's Story]]</ref>

==History==
==Equipment==
===Battle of Mombasa===
[[File:NMPD team.jpg|right|thumb|NMPD officers defending the [[ONI Alpha Site]].|200px]]
[[File:NMPD overlooking NewMombassa.jpg|thumb|250px|The New Mombasa Police Department overlooking the city during the invasion.]]
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. Their armament included weapons such as the [[MA5C Individual Combat Weapon System]], [[M90 Close Assault Weapon System|M90A Shotgun]], [[M6C/SOCOM]], [[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"/>
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/Reuse|sadie}} While operational during the first hours of the battle, the NMPD Headquarters was lost to the Covenant later in the day.{{Ref/Reuse|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/Reuse|sadie}}
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"/>


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/Reuse|odst}}
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"/>


===Post-war era===
==History==
The NMPD continues to exist after the conclusion of the Human-Covenant War as the city was rebuilt under [[Project Rebirth]], with a station being constructed near [[Kenya Street]]. The NMPD of this era has adopted a new motto: "To Preserve Law and Order". A 24/7 crime reporting hotline also existed and could be reached by calling 2700.<ref>''Halo Infinite'', multiplayer level [[Streets]]</ref>

*In ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', due to their light armor, the officers are weak, to the point that a single burst from an assault rifle is enough to kill them. However, some of them, notably the [[Unidentified NMPD Officer]] and the very first officer the Rookie meets, are invincible, being killed only during scripted events.
