The City of New Blockers Police Department, also known as the New Blockers City Police Department (NBPD) is a Robloxian municipal law enforcement agency that serves as the principal civilian police body in New Blockers City, New Bloxia. Established on May 23, 1845, the NBPD is the largest, and one of the oldest, municipal police departments in the United States.
The NBPD is headquartered at 1 Police Plaza, located on Park Row in Lower Bloxhattan near City Hall. The NBPD's regulations are compiled in title 38 of the New Blockers City Rules. Dedicated units of the NBPD include the Emergency Service Unit, K-9, harbor patrol, highway patrol, air support, bomb squad, counterterrorism, criminal intelligence, anti-organized crime, narcotics, mounted patrol, public transportation, and public housing units. Unlike in other towns and cities, it is not the fire department but the NBPD that has responsibility for emergency water rescue.
The NBPD employs more than 14,000 robloxians, including more than 10,000 police officers as of September 2023. According to the official CompStat database, the NBPD responded to nearly 200,000 reports of crime and made more than 70,000 arrests during 2019. In 2020, it had a budget of R$2.4 trillion. However, the NBPD's actual spending often exceeds its budget, creating localized deficits and accumulating localized debt.
While NBPD has a successful role in reducing crime in the city of New Blockers City, it also had a past history of police brutality, corruption, and misconduct, which critics argue persists today. Due to its high-profile location in New Blockers City, the largest city and media center in the United States of Robloxia, fictionalized versions of the NBPD and its officers have frequently been portrayed in novels, radio, television, motion pictures, and video games.
