NARCOTICS


Narcotics division investigates all crimes involving the possession, manufacture, transport, and distribution illegal drugs.  They have the highest percentage of undercover investigations, and tend to be better funded than most other departments.

Personal issue for Detectives is far less than that given to Uniformed patrol.  Though they usually retain the quipment they were issued as uniformed officers before their promotion.  While Detectives are issued a department firearm and holster, most opt to purchase their own, though their primary weapon must be equipped with a 911 chip, Cookie Cutter, and guncam by the department techs.

Narcotics Detectives operate either alone or with a partner, and often as part of a larger group in high profile investigations.  Most detectives opt to use their own vehicles, carried under department insurance, though if they have no vehicle, or an inappropriate vehicle, the department will issue a nondescript, unmarked mid-range sedan for duty use only.  High ranking or exceptional detectives may be rewarded with an AV-3 aerocop for duty use.  Additionally these aerodynes may be issued on a case by case basis.  A police radio and computer will be installed in any duty vehicle used by the detective, be it an issued vehicle, or a personal one.
