Royal Malaysian Police Special Actions Unit/Command
The Royal Malaysian Police Special Actions Unit has a structured chain of command. This hierarchical organization is designed for efficiency and clarity. Department personnel are spread out throughout the city, and our greatest strength is our organizational abilities and dedication to helping each other, as well as the citizens of Malton! As such, although all department personnel are expect to work within the chain of command and follow the guidelines and policies put forth by their superiors, they are also strongly encouraged to communicate and work with each other to meet local needs to the best of their abilities. Cops are also encouraged to communicate and work with any local organizations whose goals are congruent with department policy - saving the lives of survivors and protecting property, particularly those resources needed for survival.
Department Organization
The city of Malton is divided up in a grid-work pattern of suburbs, organized into four quadrants or divisions. The Commissioner is in charge of all operations, and all the Police Stations in a division fall under the command of a Superintendent. Each Superintendent designates 5 regions within their division, each consisting of 5 suburbs. Each regions duties are coordinated by a Chief Inspector, with Inspectors in charge of individual suburbs. Inspectors may assign Sergeants and Detectives for their suburb as they deem needed. In summary, the chain of command is:
Additionally the Commissioner may appoint a Deputy Commissioner (not shown in hierarchy above), whose rank would be roughly equivalent to Superintendent, but that officer would not be responsible for a particular division, but instead would pinch hit for Superintendents as needed and otherwise be dispatched to assist at the Commissioner discretion, or stand in for the Commissioner if needed.
It is also important to note that Detectives and Constables are both of equal rank. The second stripe is an honorary addition, signifying seniority and different duties, but Constables and Detectives have equal authority.
