| 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.

|
| 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>
| | The '''New Mombasa Police Department''' (or '''NMPD''') was the primary law enforcement agency of [[New Mombasa|New]] [[Mombasa]], [[Kenya]] <ref>''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', [[Keep It Clean (Trailer)|Announcement Trailer]]</ref>. |
|
| |
|
| ==History==
| | It's possible that the NMPD was also charged with operating in [[Old Mombasa]], in addition to their normal routines in the industrialized metropolis of New Mombasa. When New Mombasa was attacked by the [[Covenant Empire]], they assisted the [[United Nations Space Command]] in fending off the invasion force <ref>''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', [[Halo 3: ODST - E3 2009 Gameplay Trailer|E3 2009 Gameplay Trailer]]</ref>. The [[NMPD Headquarters]] was located at the center of New Mombasa. At the time of the Covenant invasion they were under the command of Commissioner [[Kinsler]]. |
| ===Battle of Mombasa===
| |
| [[File:NMPD overlooking NewMombassa.jpg|thumb|250px|The New Mombasa Police Department overlooking the city during the invasion.]]
| |
| 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}}
| |
| | |
| 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}}
| |
| | |
| ===Post-war era===
| |
| 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>

| | The standard kit for the NMPD officer is an all black uniform, consisting of a utility uniform, body armor, and a helmet with a blast-visor. Their armament includes weapons such as the [[MA5C ICWS Assault Rifle]], M90A Shotgun and the [[M7/Caseless Submachine Gun]]. In a recent video, what is speculated to be a member of the NMPD is shown wearing black body armor with a blue helmet. |

| 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/Reuse|odst}} The NMPD also employs a riot-variant of the [[HRUNTING Mark III (B) 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/Reuse|sadie}}

| == Trivia == | | == Trivia == |
| *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. | | *[[Section 14]] is likely related, or a part of the NMPD, as it acts like a policing force in New Mombasa. |
| *At the end of the level ''[[NMPD HQ]]'', an officer is seen wielding a battle rifle. This is the only time the battle rifle appears in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''.
| | *The black NMPD Sergeant who commands the defense of the ONI building is voiced by Pete Stacker who also voices GySgt. Stacker and Cpt. Keys. |
| *The NMPD Sergeant who commands the defense of the ONI building is voiced by [[Pete Stacker]] who also voices [[Gunnery Sergeant|GySgt.]] [[Stacker]] and [[Captain (Navy)|Cpt.]] [[Jacob Keyes|Keyes]]. | | *The NMPD's Riot Gear seem's to match those used by the Police in the book [[Halo: Contact Harvest]] |
| *If the player stares at an NMPD officer, they will occasionally say ''"Do you feel lucky? Do you, punk?"'', referencing the ''Dirty Harry'' films. | | *For a Police force they use heavy military weapons leading some to bieleve there a Branch of the UNSC or they were just supplied by the UNSC Marine's. |
| *The NMPD's riot gear seems to match those used by the [[Utgard Constabulary]] officers in the book ''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''.
| |
| *The seal of the ''NMPD'' bears the same emblem used to represent the Blue Team in ''[[Halo]]'s'' [[multiplayer]] system from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', ''[[Halo 2]]'' and ''[[Halo Infinite]]''. | |
| *So far there are two known models for the NMPD officers in ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', which are the normal uniform with the blast visor, coming in many colors like black, gray, white, or a mixture, and the special Sergeant model at the [[ONI Alpha Site (location)|ONI Alpha Site]].
