Police: The midtown area is highly profitable real estate and the Central CityPol officers here are plentiful, vigilant and well-supplied. Because the important corporate offices are further north, there are relatively few corporate police here and they are rarely permitted to carry anything more powerful than an LR 3 handgun, typically an auto-pistol. The police here see themselves as holding the line against the relative anarchy of the downtown area – they are generally polite to respectable looking citizens, but will be suspicious of those who look poor or otherwise disreputable. | Police: The midtown area is highly profitable real estate and the Central CityPol officers here are plentiful, vigilant and well-supplied.

Gangs: Gangs may be tolerated by the police if they stick to the back streets, pay sufficient protection money, and don’t cause too much of a disturbance. However, they are quickly dealt with if they stray onto the main roads, so gangs who want to claim those areas as their turf need to be careful to disguise themselves as ordinary citizens. Obvious weaponry is not tolerated anywhere and most establishments have well-maintained metal detectors in place, so gang weaponry tends to be small and easily concealed. Gangs going to war may carry heavier arms, typically auto-pistols and shotguns. Fully automatic weapons are sometimes used, but traditionally the police will kill any ganger they catch with such a weapon, which tends to discourage the practice. | Gangs: Gangs may be tolerated by the police if they stick to the back streets, pay sufficient protection money, and don’t cause too much of a disturbance.

Weapons: If you are carrying a weapon but not wearing a uniform, then the police will assume that you intend to commit crimes and need to be dealt with. Respectable looking citizens may simply be asked to return home and lock their weapon away. Disreputable looking citizens are liable to be arrested. | Weapons: If you are carrying a weapon but not wearing a uniform, then the police will assume that you intend to commit crimes and need to be dealt with.
