The Volkian Federal Police Act of 1930 successfully passed in the National Assembly and was signed into law by Gurkovsky; the act combined the FPS and the FPT into a single agency and also provided more extensive policing roles to the newly founded federal police force. The VFP began providing community policing to four of Volkia's northernmost provinces, includingand inits [[Uzlovayanorthernmost Oblast]]territory, {{Wp|bodyguard|close protection}} to high ranking federal officials, and as transit police in the nation's major railway stations and at ports. The federal police force proved popular with Volkian citizens and other law enforcement agencies in Volkia and its responsibilities grew.

By 1950 the agency had absorbed the Volkian Aerodrome Police, the Volkian Judicial Police Service, and the National Assembly Police Force. The agency was was tasked with providing protection to airports, federal buildings, and federal witnesses. The VFP's Community Policing Division (CPD) ceased operations in 19591968 following the creation of the UzlovayaKurilsk OblastTerritorial Police, who took over responsibility to police the[[Kurilsk provinceTerritory]]. The VFP added an elite tactical team, the [[Special Intervention Unit]], intended for hostage rescue and counterterrorism in 1978.

During the administration of [[Matvei Lukyanov]], the Skopa Special Police Unit (Skopa) was formed by presidential decree which took over certain duties from the VFP in what analysts at the time called a "significant declawing of fair policing." Skopa units quickly began gaining notoriety for their use of illegal activities against Volkian citizens including {{Wp|racketeering}}, {{Wp|terrorism}}, {{Wp|physical violence}}, {{Wp|torture}}, and {{Wp|voter intimidation}}. A notable incident between Skopa and the VFP officers took place in Korkino on OctoberJuly 2813, 1970, where three on-duty VFP officers opened fire on four Skopa agents who were [[Valentin Botvinnik|beating an elderly citizen for wearing a campaign button]] of an anti-Lukyanov politician in the 1970 general electionelections. The incident sparked riots in Korkino and was a catalyst in the removal of Lukyanov from the presidency.

Mikhail Yurevich succeeded Lukyanov as president following [[Impeachment of Matvei Lukyanov|Lukyanov's impeachment in 1971]], and signed into law the Reforming Volkian Federal Law Enforcement Act, which disbanded Skopa units nationwide and returned all roles to the VFP. The agency's roles expanded to now include combatting public corruption, drug smuggling, money laundering, and sapient being trafficking. An investigation into Lukyanov and other high level members of his administration, including those still in their roles after his removal, had begun in secret on the orders of the newly created Federal Criminal Investigations AgencyOffice (FCIAFCIO).

The VFP took its first steps in combating public corruption after Yurevich was succeeded by [[Social Democratic Union|Social Democratic]] president [[Alexander Polivanov]]. Following the announcement of criminal charges against nearly 250 individuals, the VFP assisted the FCIAFCIO and arrested many former Skopa members, high ranking members of Lukyanov's administration, and Lukyanov himself.

The agency continues to fight public corruption across Volkia, and has arrested public officials ranging from mayors to [[Federal Council (Volkia)|Federalfederal Councilorscouncilors]]. The VFP would go on to expand its powers and absorb several other agencies, expanding their role and functions in Volkian society. Today the VFP is a multi-faceted agency with numerous responsibilities and works closely with local law enforcement when necessary as well as with international law enforcement partners.
