Station Square Police Department (SSPD) is a police department inside the city of Station Square (After Sonic Adventure. Founded in 1851, only 4 years after the city's establishment the police force is somewhat underfunded police force with only 25,000 officers on active patrols, most of which is consisting of traffic police and detectives. Even though the police force is underfunded, the "complete operational" police force is definitely not corrupt. When situations get out of hand, in which the Palmont State Police is already present, they usually hand the situation to the Federal Police or Sonic the Hedgehog. (In which they then operate by evacuating civilians)

Vehicles used in SSPD

Only four vehicles are used by the SSPD. These include:

Police Civic Cruiser

Police Caprice (Highway Patrol)

Police Chevy Tachoe 2004

Police Helicopter

This information has been official for 2014-2016 years. The statistical records show that they're about 20,000 police cars that are regularly maintained and used in patrol. The Highway Patrol section uses the most cruisers in the police force with 10,025 Chevrolet Caprice Police Cruisers. The patrol force has been well known for their strong vehicles. Unfortunately, the vehicles are rather outdated.

Tactics

There have been tactics that have been used for apprehending suspects with or without force. Depending on what condition the suspect is on will vary the tactics and tactics numbers.

Armed Combat

While the police is not capable of putting up so much tasks with such criminals like Dr. Robotnik, they excel at evacuation services and drills. The regularly practice quick evacuation routes and they try to put up with larger threats. Sometimes they set up speed traps to try to use that to increase their funding. As time continues, the progressive police force has made good progress though practice.

Weapons

Also in other occasions, the officers are given a High-Powered AK74 and a stun gun to use in a heat 5 attack. Most of times they use a 2000 volt Taser to stun any criminal. Most of times, the police force uses the 44mm Pistol to apprehend any criminals.

State Involvement

If the SSPD fails to stop the criminal after 10 minutes, the police will call in state patrol. With the Palmont State Patrol after you, evading will be harder, and the state patrol will go to extreme lengths to arrest the criminal...
