Message: <blockquote data-quote="RangerWickett" data-source="post: 9616736" data-attributes="member: 63">Organizational culture and leadership matter. I wrote the adventures to show the Flint police as being vaguely NYPD-ish: reliable if you fit in as a 'respectable' member of society, but also many of them are willing to be selfish, ego-tripping a-holes against anyone they see as beneath them. A very "hierarchy exists for a good reason, and I'm a good person for enforcing that hierarchy" philosophy.The RHC, at least the part that Delft runs, has a different view of things. They don't just recruit people who will obey; they want thinkers. And, as evidenced by the audit in adventure 3, they don't turn a blind eye to abuse of power. They understand that they operate within a system where elites have power that has to be respected or else they'll crush you, but the monarchs of Risur are more closely in tune with their people, so the RHC - the Royal Homeland Constabulary - will follow the monarch's lead and care about people.</blockquote>
