Non-Police, Who Watches Where The Watchmen Don't ?? Options

[Synner667]

Hi,

Found my old copy of SLA Industries and then thought about policing in the non-policed parts of cities.

If the police won't maintain Law'n'Order in places [since they usually only patrol the "nicer" areas], who does ??

The Yaks [Yakuza] maintain peace in places they control, and I wouldn't put it past La Familia [Mafia] to do something similar..
..Not necessarily out of the goodness of their hearts, and not for protection money.

If they're doing the policing, few rogue elements would cause trouble..
..Because they'd end up with concrete wellies and a [short] life with the fishes.


In SLA, being a freelance operative is a viable Character..
..Complete with live media coverage, sponsorship and taking on the crims and tasks the official police don't want to handle - or just haven't got round to, yet.


Any Adepts [Batman. or Rorchach, come to mind] or Cyborgs [Cyborg, from the Titans] taken on the role of Vigilante, to serve and protect the neighbourhood ??
