The special operations network was instigated in 1928 to handle policing duties considered either too unusual or specialised to be tackled by the regular forces. Over the years we have found our power increased to look after governmental departments, an opportunity to serve that we find fulfilling and challenging.

Despite the major cuts that overtook SpecOps in the winter of 1991/1992, we look forward to increasing the efficiency of the Network's legendary bureacracy by disbanding more departments. Soon we will have nothing to do but manage ourselves managing ourselves, and the huge staff at SO-1 will celebrate 100% efficiency by employing more management staff to be able to maintain those high standards.

There were thirty-two divisions in total, not all of whom were covered by the parliamentary 'freespeech' ordinance 392810-hg25. See the list below and click on the surviving division in question for more information.
