Organization

The PPLEA follows a specific organization hierarchy, which is listed below. The list goes from highest to lowest.

• Commissioner - The Commissioner of the PPLEA is the highest-ranked dragon within the agency. They are responsible for managing the Law and the Most Wanted list, as well as staff. This position is currently held by Just a stupid idiot.
• Continental Deputy Commissioner - There are two Continental Deputy Commissioners, abbreviated CDC. Each one is responsible for managing all the PPLEA operations within their assigned continent. The positions are currently open. [closed]
• Police Chief - Police Chiefs are the third tier of command dragonnel. They are responsible for managing a specific police station within the jurisdiction of the CDCs. Their work is typically restricted to local operations. Most Chiefs generally manage one town, village, city, or small region. There is no limit (at least for now) on the amount of Police Chiefs. [ask]
• Captain - The second-highest rank at a standard station. Captains assist their assigned Chief with operations and staff supervision. [ask]
• Lieutenant - The first major command position within the police force. [ask]
• Sergeant - A supervisor of a small squadron of officers, Sergeants typically manage day-to-day operations on a crime scene or team. [ask]
• Corporal - Essentially a senior Officer. Corporals are a middle rank between Sergeant and Officer. [open]
• Officer - The lowest rank on the police force. Officers carry out basic duties and make up the bulk of the workforce. [open]

Divisions

The PPLEA has multiple divisions which are typically designated for a specific, highly specialized task or set of tasks.

Special Dragons and Tactics (SDAT Team)

The SDAT Team is the elite fighting force of the organization. SDAT officers wear black armor plates on their chest, legs, and tails. These armor plates are capable of withstanding extreme temperatures and impacts. SDAT officers also can be seen wearing armored helmets, masks, and boots. Special armor sets are often made for individuals to allow them to fit as comfortably as possible. Some of their gear is rumored to be animus-touched, although the majority of the animus-touched equipment is reserved for the Animus Affairs Unit. SDAT officers are extremely disciplined, undergoing intense training at their academy. SDAT teams are able to perform highly dangerous or complicated maneuvers and operations, and they are only deployed in these circumstances. Each police station typically only has a single squadron of officers, but this can vary depending on size and importance of the station.

PPLEA Investigation Division (PID)

The PID is the investigative arm of the organization. This team of dragons investigates crimes and other issues to uncover causes, evidence, and other information about criminals and crimes. PID agents can do undercover and plainclothes operations, forensics, research, and a large variety of other jobs. The PID is typically composed of the best minds of the organization, and many of the division's dragonnel are handpicked for the job. PID investigators often serve as prosecutors during trials, as well as other specialized jobs.

Animus Affairs Unit (AAU)

The AAU is a small team of highly-specialized dragons. They deal with animus criminals, and have a wide array of equipment for this purpose. This includes animus-proof handcuffs, magic shields, weapons, and other items. If an officer of the PPLEA is discovered to be an animus, they most likely are transferred to the AAU. All other information regarding the AAU is strictly classified.

Information and Records Division (IRD)

Almost nothing is known about the highly secretive Information and Records Division. The IRD is made up of very few dragons who review documents in the PPLEA and redact sensitive information before approving them for record storage or declassification. As such, dragons in the IRD have high security clearances and are highly trusted. IRD agents' identities are also usually classified for security and privacy purposes. Information about the inner workings and operations of the IRD is restricted to higher-ranking dragons.

List of Active Police Stations

This section contains a comprehensive list of active PPLEA police stations. Want to add your own to this list? Ask for the Police Chief role!

PPLEA Headquarters

The center of all operations of the organization. Located in Pyrrhia on the border between the Mud and Sky Kingdoms, this station is personally overseen by the Commissioner of the PPLEA and manages all operations worldwide. It also houses courthouses, R&D labs, and, perhaps most importantly, the largest prison complex in the whole world. Commanded by Commissioner Seashell.

Grand Service Station #4 "West Branch"

Grand Service Station #4, nicknamed "West Branch", is a police station which is jointly-operated by both the Agency and the ChessWing Kingdom Police. Due to rising costs of operating law enforcement agencies, the building was entered into an agreement between the PPLEA and the ChessWings to jointly operate it. West Branch is located on the western side of ChessWing territory (near the Talon Peninsula), in the capital city of Cassïa. The station is multipurpose, but it specializes in forensics and analysis, with multiple ChessWing army specialists working there. The station is often very busy, being a sort of informal regional headquarters for the area. The complex is split into three main buildings: one for offices, meeting rooms, bedrooms, and other infrastructure, a building housing the crime lab and evidence lockup, and a medium-size county jail for holding detainees and suspects awaiting their trial. Most officers at the station are ChessWings, having been trained from their own nearby police academies. Commanded by Chief Coffeehouse (AderitetheOrewing).
