Protect and Serve
Given the rising criminal organizations and the deterioration of Alataria's financial state, the officers who once swore to protect the citizens of the country from the corrupt, greedy criminals that roam it, had become such themselves. Many say it is actually harder to find a decent, honest cop rather than a dirty one. The corruption doesn’t stop at the top of the chain. Even the current Chief of Police, Jonah Dillard, receives regular bribes from ringleaders in favor of looking the other way when it comes to investigating crimes they stand behind. However, not all ringleaders have Dillard and his high ranking officials on their payroll, mainly the Ferals, Code Sanguinary and the Justicars.
Over the years, APD's influence of the country's crime rates has been noticeably poor, with many people losing faith in them, and despite the many attempts of Jonah Dillard to justify APD's title as protectors of the citizens, none has made any significant change so far.
