At four-thirty a.m., a female officer with the rank of deputy chief arrives from Omni Police Services, the corporation currently responsible for law enforcement within the Newark city limits. The deputy chief informs that OPS will be posting additional patrols to the district, and has several emergency teams on standby near the headquarters building. The deputy chief is of course quite content to allow the Honjowara- gumi to run its own show. Relations between Nagato Combine, the Honjowara- gumi in particular, and OPS may be characterized as generally excellent. That is due to the fact that Nagato Corporation owns a significant bloc of ownership shares in Sapporo Corp, which owns OPS. It is also a fact that the chairman of Sapporo is a distant cousin of Chairman Honjowara and their relations are usually cordial.
