It was there that former volunteer firefighter Sharko organized the rag-tag group of survivors and started consolidating supplies and skills. A quick and dangerous raid on one of the nearby police stations yielded a box of badges which survivors began wearing to indicate membership. Thus the Dunell Hills Police Department was born, a group of survivors working together to find some way to bring stability and something approximating law and order to their zombie infested suburb.

==The Dead Resurgence (OOC Statement)==
==What does the DHPD Do?==


It has not escaped the attention of the DHPD that the numbers of our historic antagonists, The Dead, are rising at a dramatic rate.  While we regret the negative impact this may have on other survivor groups we are not particularly outraged.  It is a long time since a really large horde swept its way through Malton and it will be interesting to see how recent changes in the mechanics and shifts in tactics play out in this situation.  It is also likely, obviously, that a lot of good roleplaying opportunities will arise and general fun can be had by all.
===In Game===


That said, last time the DHPD had a major fight with The Dead we did not exactly cover ourselves with glory when it came to behaviour on the wikiWe are anxious that this should not repeat itself. DHPD members have instructions not to make edits to NPOV sections of the wiki stating our case, nor to troll wiki users perceived to be supporting The Dead's cause. We are aware that at least one apparent DHPD Officer is doing this but, as far as we can tell, this is not a DHPD member. In all fairness, we should point out that we have contacted The Dead leadership and they do not know who this person is either.  However, if you do have any trouble on the wiki with someone claiming to be DHPD, please report it to [[User:Louise|Purple Cat]] and it will be looked into.

NPOV Statement

The Dunell Hills Police Department is a dedicated group of survivors that operates in and around the suburb of Dunell Hills. The DHPD is heavily involved in the role-playing aspect of the game, specifically in role-playing police officers attempting to protect a civilian population from both zombies and PKers. Its role-playing ethos and internal organization means it has been one of the largest survivor groups in the game for several years. For some time its main antagonist has been The Dead zombie group. The two organizations have been locked in an almost continuous battle for control of Dunell Hills.

The DHPD motto is "Fac fortia et patere", a latin phrase meaning "Do brave deeds and endure."

How it all Started

In the early months of the outbreak, several residents of Dunell Hills found themselves huddling in the rubble of one of the hospitals. It was there that former volunteer firefighter Sharko organized the rag-tag group of survivors and started consolidating supplies and skills. A quick and dangerous raid on one of the nearby police stations yielded a box of badges which survivors began wearing to indicate membership. Thus the Dunell Hills Police Department was born, a group of survivors working together to find some way to bring stability and something approximating law and order to their zombie infested suburb.

The DHPD successfully build Dunell Hills up to be one of the safest places in Malton and began expanding their influence to the neighbouring suburbs, forming the Dunell Militarized Zone (DMZ). Then disaster struck: The Dead chose to make Dunell Hills their home. Ever since, the DHPD and The Dead have fought over these few blocks of Malton.

What does the DHPD Do?

  • Offering public revive services.
  • Moving rapidly around the DMZ, taking and repairing buildings and offering revives, suburb by suburb.
  • Offering incentives to players via a "ribbon" system for achievements, plus a regular turn around in internal command structure providing lots of opportunities for advancement and contribution to the group.

Out of Game

The DHPD maintains an active forum encouraging members to get to know each other. While this is focused primarily on in game coordination it also includes:

  • A lot of general chatter about other browser games, fun online videos and socialising. We also encourage our enemies and allies to join in, so long as enmity and banter is kept in character.
