User:A Fellow Stalker/Garmed Police Department

The Garmed Police Department was the main security force of the city of Garmed and the largest one on Second Base. At the time of its dissolution, the GPD had around 8,000 members actively working for the force. Throughout its history, the police had become infamous for its deep corruption and alleged ties with the rebellion. Throughout several events in the short history of the force, things nearly went to a boiling point and the force nearly went into open rebellion against the UNSC. In total, there are six recorded instances where the Garmed Police Force nearly rebelled.

During the Second Base Campaign, rebels in Second Base rose against the local UNSC garrison and received support from elements in the police force. Several police Hornets, armored vehicles and hundreds of police officers began firing upon UNSC forces deployed in Garmed and ended up taking heavy losses when Marines began to push back. However, a Covenant ship jumped in and disrupted the rebellion, causing a three-way battle.

Throughout the battle, the rebellious police were slaughtered by both the Marines and the alien invaders. Even non rebellious officers were fired upon as the line between civilian and rebel was blurred considerably. Although the police force eventually fell almost entirely on the UNSC side, hoping to defend their home against the new threat, most died while defending Garmed City Hall when the nuclear weapon in the hall was detonated.

The city police force was largely forgotten about afterwards, and none of its members ended up surviving the battle. Well after the end of the Human-Covenant War, when the smaller battles like Second Base were finally given attention over Reach, Harvest and Earth, the Garmed Police Force were honored for attempting to aid the UNSC with a statue on Earth.
