Canto Bight Police Department The Canto Bight Police Department ( CBPD ) was the law enforcement of the casino city Canto Bight on the planet Cantonica . Description . The CBPD was broken into the Uniformed Branch and the Canto Bight Mounted Police ( CBMP ) . The Uniformed Branch had the most public visibility , and served as a visible deterrent to petty crime and thievery . The CBMP operated lightweight GB - 134 pursuit craft , also known as jet - sticks , to navigate the narrow roadways of the Old Town . The CBPD was notoriously corrupt . Every law and regulation in the city was negotiable , depending on the wealth of the suspect or the accuser . As such , the CBPD was both a byproduct and aide in the city ' s tiered society , with the wealthiest having the greatest sense of security and immediate access to justice — a flexible concept in Canto Bight . As long as transgressions did not disturb the resort city ' s relaxing atmosphere , or cross any unspoken rules , much was ignored . While the CBPD was corrupt , it was not ineffective . Public safety was taken very seriously , and the veneer of the coastal city was carefully and expensively maintained . Property crime was not tolerated , and offenses such as vandalism and littering were punished with greater severity on Cantonica than on most other planets . Trials were held for offenders at the convince of the magistrate . Due to the ultra - wealthy environment CBPD officers operated in , hospitality training was included as part of CBPD academy curriculum , as keeping guests content was key to keeping them docile . Police were trained to subdue and arrest without resorting to lethal force , all in an effort to maintain the confidence and comfort of the public . The slightest injury suffered by a bystander or suspect could have costly legal and public - relations repercussions . CBPD officers were well paid for their work . History . The Canto Bight Police Department served the city of Canto Bight , Cantonica , Corporate Sector . Their jurisdiction included not only Cantonica , but also the world ' s moons . In 34 ABY , the CBPD briefly arrested and detained Finn and Rose Tico during their mission for the Resistance against the First Order shortly after the Hosnian Cataclysm . They later dealt with a rampage of Fathier s through the streets of the city after they were released from their pens at the Canto Bight racetrack . Equipment . Police uniforms featured a betaplast armored collar for protection and a fineweave cape . Rank was displayed on a pin attached to the collar of duty uniforms . Helmets featured a high - impact betaplast neck guard . Holographic department letters written in Aurebesh were attached to the front of officer helmets , and could reverse for rearview mirror legibility . Officers were well - equipped with non - lethal weaponry and equipment . Weapons included the Relby K - 25 blaster in its rifle configuration , the Relby K - 25 blaster in its default configuration to serve as a sidearm , and a Relby K - 25 blaster in its heavy configuration , which featured a long - range microscope and a noise suppression and range - extending barrel attachment . Such blaster weaponry was set to stun by default . Since weapons were prohibited in public areas , firefights in Canto Bight were rare . In addition to blasters , police carried electro - shock prod s to disable targets with ease . They also had access to glow rods , which could double as a crude baton , and featured a multi - spectrum illuminator array for crime scene investigation . Officers carried a single short - range wrist comlink and scrambled long - range comlink on their belts . Behind the scenes .
