The Gassasinian National Police is the national civilian police force of Gassasinia, responsible for usual police fighting crime, maintaining public safety and order, investigating and tacking criminal groups throughout Gassasinia, along with protection of the constitution and its' values, counter-terrorism and monitoring of extremist political groups. Formed in 1978 by the National Police Act, the National Police was formed to be a new impartial and reformed police force, integrating controversial affirmative action policies to help alleviate the dominance of Sotirians amongst the ranks of the police, while disassociating itself from the repression of the Royal Police, who during the civil war had endorsed and maintained several far-right paramilitaries.
Although today there is a disproportionate amount of Sotirian officers amongst the ranks of the National Police - especially in the upper echelons - Sotirians only make up about 45% of the National Police's manpower, whereas as much as 75% of the officers of the old Royal Police were Sotirians at the time of its' disbanding.
