National Power Service Constabulary

The National Power Service Constabulary is a specialist police force dedicated to protecting the country's power generating assets that keep the nation's lights on.

With the distinctive bright-red tint on their vehicles, the NPSC is an all-armed police force, ready to respond against attacks to power generation facilities such as nuclear and conventional stations, as well as renewable energy installations.

The NPSC also have jurisdiction to deal with any crimes committed within power generating facilities, and have a small "over the fence" radius where they can support local police forces.

Inter-Agency Working

The National Power Service Constabulary works across the country and can be found wherever power infrastructure exists. Other than over-the-fence activities, there is little overlap with the jurisdictions of the NPSC and other police forces. As such the NPSC maintains a working relationship with the local police forces they are present in.

The NPSC can be found in the following locations:

  • San Andreas (Palmer-Taylor Power Station)
  • Liberty City (Acter Power Station)

Real World Analogue

The National Power Service Constabulary is my GTA 5 police force equivalent of the Civil Nuclear Constabulary. The Civil Nuclear Constabulary is an armed police force that protects civilian nuclear installations around the UK. In some locations, they have "other the fence" permission to respond to nearby incidents to support local police forces.

The main difference between the CNC and the NPSC is that the NPSC has jurisdiction of all power-generation facilities in the country - nuclear, conventional and renewable.
