The riot squad is
there to deal with insurgency and hostile
crowds. Unlike other sections of the Tactical Division, there is
no standing riot Squad, its members are drawn as needed from the
uniformed divisions. In situations where disturbance is though
likely to break out ahead of time, any off-duty officers will be
brought in to deal with the situation as well.Riot Squad armor is worn over the standard blue jumpsuit. The armor itseld is much heavier than standard armor, and consequently much heavier and more restricting of movementThe boots worn are much heavier as well, and the helmet is highly sloped so that bottles and other thrown projectiles felect off rather than impact full force. The helmet is fully sealed, and is attached to an independant air supply containing twice that of the standard uniformed equipment with a redundant air filter as backup. And finally a blue light bar extends off the left shoulder, so that the officer might be readily identified in a crowd. All marked police vehicles carry riot armor in the trunk for emergency situations.
In extreme situations, C-SWAT Constable ACPA's will be present.
