After the 80 years war against the GMG, the remaining members of the Rheinland Military were forced to withdraw back to New Berlin and surrounding systems. With the military weakened, a period of civil unrest followed causing an increase in criminal activity across Rheinland.
To counter the growing increase in crime against the civilian population, a council of high ranking military officers quickly formed a federal police agency. This agency was responsible for the enforcement of Rheinland law, civilian and trade protection, the staffing and management of Vierlande Prison, the suppression of subversive and rebel groups, and personal protection to the Chancellor.
After several years of hard-won experience, the Rheinland Federal Police are an elite police organization.
GOALS
1. Assist in the safe import and export of legal goods to and from Rheinland.
2. Maintain a safe and secure Rheinland through crime prevention and prosecution.
3. Suppress civilian rebel groups including the Volksfront (VF) and Landwirtrechtbewegung (LWB).
4. Ensure space communication channels are used appropriately and free from encrypted or spy transmissions.
DAILY ACTIVITIES
1. Provide police escort to transport ships coming from Bretonia to Rheinland, Liberty to Rheinland (passengers only), and Rheinland to other systems. A police escort is not an option for the trader to decline, its Rheinland law.
2. Stop and interrogate ships who might have been a witness to or involved in any criminal activity. This activity requires the development of fun and creative detective role-play in game and in the forums.
3. Arrest on sight all members of the Volksfront and LWB. If they resist arrest, use all necessary force to remove them from civilian sectors.
4. Confiscate and destroy all illegal cargo. Fine the pilot of the ship (see fines below). If they flee or resist arrest, destroy the ship and tractor in the escape pod.
5. Monitor the system channel for spy and encrypted transmissions. Spy transmissions typically begin with // or contain the letters lol. See below for more information on how to handle spies.
6. Assist the Rheinland Military as needed.
7. Patrol the Rheinland territories that include New Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Dresden, Munich, and Halle.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
You must always follow the rules and respect the other players with the utmost care. You are expected to represent this faction within its established guidelines and highest role-play standards.
Out-of-character chatter of any kind in system-wide channels is strictly forbidden. This includes out of character messages marked with // or OOC. All situations can be resolved in character and RFP players are expected to serve as role models to others.
Never get mad or lash out at other players if your ship gets blown to smithereens. Laugh it off and learn from the situation. Always remember that this is a game and the goal is to have fun. We recommend you have more then one server character so you can continue to play the game in another system.

POLICE REGULATIONS
1. Any vessel in Rheinland is to be ordered to halt for scan before clearance.
2. Naval, police, civilian, and freelancer pilot pods are to be dropped by the nearest available police officer. These pods are to be taken to the nearest station or planet. If the pilot of the ship refuses to drop the pods, destroy their ship.
3. Any form of smuggling is forbidden and punishable. First offence includes a four million credits fine and destruction of cargo. Second offense is incarceration (player must log off for 15 min) or destruction of smuggling ship. Materials considered contraband in Rheinland are Lawful Pilots, Slaves, Artifacts, Cardamine, Synthetic Marijuana, Counterfeit Software, and Nomads and Nomad equipment. No fine is to be issued for Das Wilde pilot pods.
4. Any form of piracy and/or coercion of the citizenry is forbidden and punishable by the destruction of the pirate ship.
5. All sorts of Nomad materials are forbidden in Rheinland space. Ships carrying these materials are to be instructed to relinquish them for destruction or leave Rheinland territories. Should the captain of the ship chose to relinquish them and the items are mounted on the ship, they are allowed into orbital stations only--not planets--so the items may be removed on sealed docks for destruction. Failure to comply with this is punishable with ship destruction.
6. Military ships from other Nations aren't welcome inside Rheinland territory unless they've been specifically invited and/or allowed in by the Office of the Chancellor. Said ships must leave Rheinland immediately. Ships failing to comply are to be terminated.

10. System-wide transmissions that are encrypted or containing sensitive information are the work of spies and traitors. These transmissions usually contain // or lol. For first offence, warn pilot that encrypted messages or messages of an inflammatory or subversive nature are not allowed in Rheinland space. If the spy continues to broadcast these messages, destroy the ship by any means necessary.
11. Pilots displaying hostile activity are to be shot on sight with prior warning.
12. Pilots of unknown and doubtful activity are to be requested to leave Rheinland. Those who fail to comply in a reasonable period of time will be shot on sight.

From my viewpoint, everything seems ok and acceptable, and I like the general friendly intentions of attitude in the faction( meaning OOC attitude ) and want to compliment you for deciding to give small incentives, but make people earn their keep.
So far, I'd just like a bit more faction background, don't know what exactly, but try to expand it a bit, if you're able.

The problem is there isn't much to write about with the police. If you look at the Rheinland Military faction status post, there background is actually the Military's description.
And thank you for the positive comment.

With the RM on a bit of a unpredicatble activity rate it would definatley be a good thing to see an active police force in the most trader populated house in sirius.
