Broker State Police Department

The Broker State Police Department (BSPD) is the law enforcement agency responsible for the state of Broker. Broker, unlike other states, does not have government-owned local level law enforcement agencies; and only has the BSPD. Other local offices, such as sheriffs departments in counties, have priority duties in other fields other than law enforcement. They must be accredited and approved by the BSPD to be able to enforce state criminal law.

The Broker State Legislature established the BSPD in 1948, succeeding the various county and local police agencies after it was determined that one unified organization would be more effective. Governor Franklin C. Todd signed the legislation. The BSPD has over 7,000 employees, of which 4,500 are law enforcers.
