In response, Gurkovsky floated the idea of a paramilitary force that could be used to respond to internal threats in order to bypass the need to deploy the [[Volkian Defense Forces|Defense Forces]]. The National Assembly remained skeptical, but thought the idea of a national police force had some merit. By now, most of Volkia's provinces and municipalities had organized their own police forces in order to perform community policing and investigate crimes. There were several agencies responsible for policing duties at the federal level, including the Federal Protection Service (FPS) and the Federal Transport Police (FTP). Federal investigations were usually handled by the various investigative units within the country's ministries.
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
By 1950 the agency had absorbed the Volkian Aerodrome Police 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
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
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 Office (FCIO).
Line 117:
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 FCIO 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)|
