State Criminal Police (Dorvik)

The State Criminal Police (Dundorfian: Staatskriminalpolizei) better known as the Kriminalpolizei is the primary criminal investigative service of the State Security Main Office. The State Criminal Police was previously underneath the Dorvish Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Justice. On 11 December 4361 the State Criminal Police was placed underneath the auspices of the State Security Main Office by direction of Chief of the State Security Main Office Sydel von Völknitz-Siezenhaus. This was reversed by decision of President Thomas Junkermann in September, 4521 and the State Criminal Police were placed underneath the authority of the Ministry of Justice.

The State Criminal Police are responsible for all investigations in Dorvik, they have a wide array of capabilities and assist the Dorvish Police in an investigative capacity. The State Criminal Police are often in charge of capital crimes such as murder, rape, human trafficking, drugs and forms of organized crime. Dorvik is continually ranked in the lower half of crimes by the International Police Association (Interpol; IPA).

The State Criminal Police are attached to the various Dorvish Police units throughout Dorvik. The State Criminal Director is appointed by the President of the Dorvish Republic and confirmed by the Ministry of Justice.

History
The Reich Criminal Police had served Dorvik since it's inception during the Dundorfian Reich and has continued to serve Dorvik in some capacity. The Dorvish National Police temporarily absorbed the National Criminal Police temporarily but eventually the State Criminal Police broke away. The State Criminal Police shifted names several times and changed hands between the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of the Interior and an independent agency. It finally came to rest in 4361 in the State Security Main Office where it has firmly remained despite shifting governments and constitutions.

President Thomas Junkermann disbanded the State Security Main Office in September, 4521 and placed the State Criminal Police back underneath the Ministry of Justice.
