Apprehenders

The apprehenders (French: appréhendeurs, Latin/VML: apprehensores) are a form of militia-military force in Moricounie which serves as both the firefighting, police, me and military forces for the entire Moricounien Federation.
== Details ==
Before the period of the apprehenders there were indeed the separate police and military forces.
In 2019, per Isabelle's preference the units were consolidated into one singular force called the "apprehenders" (i.e., because they apprehend people).
Every mourb and sportsmate are immediately members of the militia and can opt in and out at anytime, and any willing miscellaneous animal including mii and normal humans can enter the force with the same privileges.
Civilian apprehenders will look the same as any other civilian and are preferred for espionage or honeypots such as luring a trafficker and/or going undercover in illegal transactions of things.
Higher-priority apprehenders which are easily identified by their futou hats and black suits with their old-style rifles which have the same functionality as normal modern rifles usually with bayonets attached to them can be found in groups near places of high density such as the Ministère and malls. It's usually mourb HPAs that wear this form of uniform as they do not die from stab wounds or gunshots; apprehenders of any other species will wear standard military uniform with metal futou hats acting as helmets and carry submachine guns, pistols and/or revolvers instead.
HPA uniforms used to be exactly like the British uniform with the bearskin hats and thick red coats, except that the coats reach the heel and usually wearers did not wear pants or even any underwear, akin to Scottish army men wearing kilts going commando. The change to the aforementioned Asian-style uniform occurred in early January 2021 with the establishment of the government on New Ascsenia Island and was fully widespread by March 2022.
=== The Grapevine ===
The Grapevine (Latin/VML: vinis via) is the central intelligence agency of Moricounie which is entirely reliant on the secret communication skills mourbs possess. The name comes from the idiomatic expression which refers to informal gossiping.
Swatting is obviously illegal and since mourbs are everywhere like network tethers the Grapevine can quickly confirm its validity within seconds, sometimes even before the call is made. Any invalid swatters would be swatted themselves instead, but not before tricking the caller into thinking they will indeed swat the victim.
