DCS Rio Station

DCS Rio Station is the domestic action and local law enforcement office for the based in the greater Guanabara Bay including Rio de Janeiro and the pontoon city Atlántida. The facility and organization also extended jurisdiction to much of the Earth southern hemisphere.
Established during the refugee crisis from the -attacked UEG , the DCS Rio Station was expanded to focus on alien refugees and castaways after the Human-Covenant War and as part of the 2554 inter-Sangheili jurisdiction dispute.
Preempting the nuclear weapon threat through , the facility was heavily damaged by an alien terrorist attack that injured many personnel and neutralized Rio Station's ability to continue operations. The Office of Naval Intelligence responded to the attack and ensuing increase in alien-derived violence with the deployment of Internal Investigations Unit 419 to Rio along with other regular forces, including teams.
__TOC__
==Gendarmerie: Aurora 6==
A specialized paramilitary service under the Department of Colonial Security, the DCS Gendarmerie is a special operations force developed for handling a wide variety of mission profiles with less manpower, less structure than a dedicated UNSC or ONI combat team. They handle a large portion of investigation, enforcement action, and ground work for localized Colonial Security installations. Their role bridges the gap between the military and policing action and predominantly focus on internal security affairs and issues. Despite this, they are described as an "offensive" agency, with proactive intent to prevent or retaliate against threats rather than stop them upon responsive mobilization.
Most teams operate and serve directly under Colonial Security offices like the DCS Rio Station out of Rio de Janeiro. Their numbers and structure are fairly diverse and uniquely formed around the needs and to the discretion of their local station leadership allowing them more discretion and independence to take on localized issues with the mindset that "all politics is local". The Gendarmerie pull from all branches of the UNSC Armed Forces, local police, and even civilian individuals and organizations, however, the organization generally favors special forces backgrounds. This recruitment policy is further reinforced through constant collaboration with other military and paramilitary organizations, however, the organization remains little known.
Rio Station's Gendarmerie unit goes by the callsign "Aurora 6", in reference to Atlántida's artificially-generated aurora spectacle out in Guanabara Bay. Despite their base in Rio de Janeiro, the unusual location of a Colonial Security facility on Earth means their unique position of monitoring and immobilizing alien threats on Earth, particularly in the southern hemisphere, extends into other alien hotspots including Dar es-Salaam, Mombasa, and the Marshall Islands.
At the unit's full strength, it included over 180 personnel of which a Spartan, several supersoldiers, former Army and Navy special forces troopers, detectives, civilian and alien informants played crucial leadership roles. In their jursidiction, they focused most their energies on policies and observation of the former Covenant asylum zone, Low Benefaction.
Some of the unit's high-profile missions include securement of the early East African Exclusion Zone from alien tourists and Forerunner-worshipping zealous militants, the observation of in-fighting between Earth-based Swords of Sanghelios envoy keeps, the Rio nuclear threat, and the retaliatory nuclear strikes in the Marshall Islands against free-reign Sangheili settlements.
