| Message | The government already maintains a national police force which is the military. A police force that is localised and controlled by local government ensures seperation of the military and police forces. |
| Date | 09:42:45, January 16, 2006 CET | From | United Blobs | To | Debating the Local Police Department Act. |
| Message | A nationally run system allows better coordination for events that effect the whole nation. Multiple forces will likely lead to problems with information interchange allowing vital data not to get to those who need it. |

| Message | Well why not scrap the police force and use the military. Would be more cost effective than two seperate law enforcement bodies and far better than having the four regional divisions and the army all seperate. |
