===Administration===
*Chief of Police Alejandro Moody -- Married to Sonja Moody, Alejandro is adjusting to life hitched to weirdness and enjoying himself. he is running the VCPD well. Moody has been divinely blessed with good health and the stamina of a 20 year old. He is unaffected by mind and will sapping effects or divine awe. (Would prefer to not know, that is the SIS's job)
*Ass. Chief Randy Arnold -- Night shift over all commander, he is thinking about retiring or alternately running for VC Chief of Police. Currently on hold as he wouldn't want to step on Moody. And old dog of a cop, been there did that attitude. (Slightly in the know, and wants nothing to do with it.)
*Capt. Mickey Rand -- (Patrol Supervisor, Traffic Enforcement) Promoted from within the department. Fair faced red hair, looks like a kid in his daddy's uniform. Good solid cop. (Hint of know, you don't get away in Vista City without it. Trusted)
*Capt. John Waylan -- (Major Crimes) Jaded cop. "People do that to each other, you learn not to take it personally or you burn up and burn out." Not uncaring, he just will not bring caring to work.

*Capt. Jesus Jaquelin -- (Homicide, Violent Crime) "Hay-sus, please". He will accept "Jerry" The "Jesus" thing is just too old to be funny anymore. Jesus is a good cop and an good detective. Well educated and sharp eyed. No Sherlock Holmes, but he can hold his own. Regretted losing Tony to Internal Affairs and later the SIS, Tony's eye for the paper trial is unequaled. Yea, the coffee is good too. (Hint of the Know, mostly trusted)
*Capt. Lance Haggardy -- (Bunco, Vice, Narco) Narcotics got folded into the Vice Squad after the entire squad was arrested for murder. It was decided they needed more oversight.

(B-13, In the Know) 
*Capt. Sally Clerk -- (Internal Affairs) Replacing Tony McKenzie in this position took former chief Foreman a great deal of skull sweat. Foreman was less concerned with rules than right.
