The VFP
== History ==
Line 111:
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 1968 following the creation of the Kurilsk Territorial Police, who took over responsibility to police [[Kurilsk Territory]]. 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 July 13, 1970, where three on-duty VFP officers
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)|federal councilors]]. 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.
