( and much more militaristic phrasing than he's ever used to think about it, but that isn't really surprising given who he's talking to. )
The purpose of the police force is to provide some stability and protection to the people of Exsilium - all of the people. ( civilians, initiative, transports, those trickling in from the ue. ) Previously, the best response anyone could hope for in response to a crime might have been some form of vigilante justice. Now, the police can take action against things such as theft or more serious offenses, as well as hopefully effecting prevention. It's hard to say, of course, how well justice can be upheld in a place like this - especially without any solid government or laws - but in my opinion, it's better to try than to not. Additionally, it's a start for further systems to be set in place in the future.
I may have the position of Inspector, but that's specifically within the Transport branch of this force; the rest, which is the larger portion, is made up of the civilians who have been living here. I don't know what their plans are in the event of future attacks; while we have some degree of autonomy, it's likely we'd do the same as whatever they choose. More than likely, the roles would include doing things like directing people through safe evacuations and making sure no one takes advantage of the chaos to cause even more problems.
I can understand your reasoning for wanting to consider unifying, but - for one thing, that may be best taken up with my superiors. As I understand it, your group is only interested in Transport affairs. While my division primarily focuses on that, in the event of an emergency, everyone's safety would be a priority. And frankly, doesn't it bother you that the police force is funded by the Initiative? ( not that this was explicitly publicly announced but that's one way to tell her if she doesn't know already ) While I agree they aren't to be fully trusted, the force can't be expected to take part in any future actions against them or their interests.
