The '''Federal Police''' ({{wp|Danish language|Delkoran}}: ''Føderalt Politi'') is a federal law enforcement agency of [[Delkora]] that is primarily responsible for investigating violations of federal law and helping coordinate and assist the activities of the Kingdom's state police forces. In addition to its investigative role, the agency provides security for government officials and foreign dignitaries, federal buildings, and critical infrastructure such as airports, railroads, and power stations. It also maintains reserve forces that can be utilized in the event of major disturbances or to supplement state police forces at their request.

==History==
The Federal Police was formed in 1963 as part of an effort by the government of Chancellor [[Mette Elvensar]] to streamline the highly fractured nature of federal law enforcement in Delkora at the time. It was formed as a merger of three agencies: the Federal Criminal Inspectorate, which had been the primary investigative agency for cases involving federal criminal law, the Federal Guard Service, which provided security details for government officials, and the Internal Security Forces, a paramilitary agency which had served as the federal {{wp|police tactical units}}.

The formation of a federal police force was highly controversial at the time due to cultural mistrust of centralized policing. Right-wing parties opposed the agency's creation on the grounds that it would slowly usurp power from the state police, who had historically been responsible for law enforcement and public safety. Meanwhile, many on the left feared that the concentration of so many different functions within a single agency would open the door to abuse.

Although the agency was initially hampered by public skepticism and a reluctance on the part of the state police forces to coordinate with it, the Federal Police was ultimately able to gain legitimacy after a series of high profile investigations that secured its credibility. The first of these, referred to by the media as "The Corporate Cases", led to the successful prosecution of 27 bankers, CEOs, and various associates found to be responsible for the 1953 Banking Crisis. This was followed in the 1970's by a large-scale operation targeting organized crime that led to the arrest of high-ranking members of the Gothendral Syndicate and The Valkyries.

In the early 1960's, her Ministry of Justice spearheaded a series of high-profile investigations that led to the successful prosecution of 27 bankers, CEOs, and various associates found to be responsible for the 1953 Banking Crisis. The agency gained further credibility during the tenure of [[Geirbjørn Feldengaard]], when it undertook a nationwide operation targeting organized crime that led to the arrest of high-ranking members of the [[Madsen Group]].

The Federal Police was at the forefront of national attention in 1994 as the lead agency investigating the corruption allegations that brought down the government of [[Uldric Bekenheimer]]. In the wake of this scandal, the Olymyr government directed the agency to begin an aggressive push to investigate public corruption in the late 1990's that resulted in charges being levied against more than a dozen county and municipal officials throughout the Kingdom. With the decriminalization of drug use in 1998, Federal Police narcotics efforts began to be devoted almost exclusively toward halting the production and sale of hard drugs.

The Federal Police (Delkoran: Føderalt Politi) is a federal law enforcement agency of Delkora that is primarily responsible for investigating major and organized crime, and helping coordinate and assist the activities of the Kingdom's state police forces. In addition to its investigative role, the agency provides security for federal government officials and critical infrastructure. It also maintains reserve forces that can be utilized in the event of major disturbances or to supplement state police forces at their request.

History

The Federal Police was formed in 1943 as part of an effort by the government of Chancellor Veidnar Albendor to streamline the highly fractured nature of federal law enforcement in Delkora at the time. It was formed as a merger of three agencies: the Federal Criminal Inspectorate, which had been the primary investigative agency for cases involving federal criminal law, the Federal Guard Service, which provided security details for government officials, and the Internal Security Forces, a paramilitary agency which had served as the federal police tactical units.

The formation of a federal police force was highly controversial at the time due to cultural mistrust of centralized policing. Right-wing parties opposed the agency's creation on the grounds that it would slowly usurp power from the states, who had historically been responsible for law enforcement and public safety. Meanwhile, many on the left feared that the concentration of so many different functions within a single agency would open the door to abuse.

Although the agency was initially hampered by public skepticism and a reluctance on the part of the state police forces to coordinate with it, the Federal Police was ultimately able to gain legitimacy after a restructuring by the government of Mette Elvensar. In the early 1960's, her Ministry of Justice spearheaded a series of high-profile investigations that led to the successful prosecution of 27 bankers, CEOs, and various associates found to be responsible for the 1953 Banking Crisis. The agency gained further credibility during the tenure of Geirbjørn Feldengaard, when it undertook a nationwide operation targeting organized crime that led to the arrest of high-ranking members of the Madsen Group.

During the chancellorship of Lars af Vellarand in the 1980's, much of the agency's resources were devoted to suppressing drug trafficking. A series of operations targeting large methamphetamine labs in the Grymvar Mountains gained significant media attention in the early part of the decade. Controversially, however, no distinction was made between hard and soft drugs in the agency's enforcement efforts, resulting in a severe backlog in the court system as large numbers of people were arrested for possession of minor amounts of cannabis throughout the 1980's and early 1990's.

The Federal Police was at the forefront of national attention in 1994 as the lead agency investigating the corruption allegations that brought down the government of Ulrik Andersen. In the wake of this scandal, the Jørgensen government directed the agency to begin an aggressive push to investigate public corruption in the late 1990's that resulted in charges being levied against more than a dozen county and municipal officials throughout the Kingdom. With the decriminalization of drug use in 1998, Federal Police narcotics efforts began to be devoted almost exclusively toward halting the production and sale of hard drugs.

The agency underwent a major restructuring in the aftermath of the 2012 Norenstal Subway Bombings. As part of the National Security Act of 2012, the Federal Police's counter-terrorism and counterintelligence functions were transferred to the newly-established Internal Security Directorate. In recent years, a major focus of the Federal Police has been combating human trafficking and arms trafficking.
