The Shirekeep City Guard is the police force responsible for law enforcement in the Shirithian capital city of Shirekeep. The City Guard was formed in the mid-sixth millennium ASC during the reign of Kaiser Daniel III as a union of local militias and police forces.

Each district of the city has a Cudgeller's Guild.

Cudgellers

Cudgellers are law enforcement officers, trained after the fashion of the Corps of Gentlemen-at-Cudgels, the police force of the Elwynnese Union. As such they specialise in crowd control and physical deterrence over investigative detective work and the finer points of community policing.

Special Branch

The Special Branch was formed following a suicide bomb attack on the Landsraad in xxxx ASC, its overriding priority is to keep the public safe and to disrupt terrorist related activity in the Imperial County and Shirekeep by:

  • Detecting, investigating and preventing terrorist threats and networks.
  • Working with partner agencies to acquire and use intelligence and evidence about terrorism and extremism.
  • Engaging, building and maintaining working relationships with the Districts of Shirekeep, local communities, Imperial and State partners to better understand their *needs and to use their expertise and experience in jointly combating the terrorist threat.
  • Working with communities, partners, institutions, groups and other agencies providing advice and support to tackle the ideologies that drive Catologism and other forms of violent extremism.
  • Supporting, working and collaborating with the law enforcement agencies of the City, the Imperial Dominions and the Imperial States.
