The**Syndicate City Metropolitan Police (SCMP)**is Syndicate City's police force, serving as major antagonists in *Gore, Gore and Cannoli 2*.

They are the local law enforcement attempting to quell the criminal activity in the mob-controlled streets. While ineffective at doing so, they are still a thorn in the side of Syndicate City's underground, one that should not be underestimated, as they have been getting desperate and, more worryingly, violent in combating the ever rising spike in organized crime and, despite low morale, still manage to disrupt and take down mob fronts, hideouts and depots, albeit with much effort.

## Guns, Gore & Cannoli 2

The Metropolitan Police appears during Vinnie’s escape to meet up with Joe Barista at the Pilot Bar by the town's airfield. They are seen battling it out with the gangsters and criminals on the streets of Syndicate City. Although the crime rate is generally high all over Syndicate City, the organized gangsters behind it mostly seem to operate out of Lower East Side. Precinct 81 was ordered by their Police Chief to conduct a massive police raid by arresting or killing as many gangsters, likely as a drastic last measure to curb the crime rate.

Unconventional assault methods were taken by the police officers on the field. Officers breach into buildings from skylights. They charge their vans backwards into walls and buildings as battering rams. Some desperate lawmen have even set buildings on fire to flush criminals out. These measures didn't succeed at actually getting the gangsters to surrender, as most instead resorted to violence more quickly due to their sudden appearance, but did get allow the police to throw apprehend a couple of the thugs and throw them in the paddy wagons, though the unannounced appearance of Vinnie made quick work of that temporary accomplishment.

## Trivia

* The police officers seem to have a disliking to Ithaca 37 as these shotguns are seen in their vans. This is a questionable theory as many officers are raiding a building in close quarters fighting.
* It should be noted that they seem to be actively hunting Vinnie Cannoli, ignoring all else if they spot him. From this it can be speculated that they are working for the Dark Don. Regardless, this indicates that they are either looking to exercise vigilante justice on Vinnie, for walking away from his trial in connection with the Thugtown Incident unpunished or that they are simply corrupt and looking to earn extra money on the job.
* The SCMP appears to be based on the NYPD, as the uniforms and badges heavily resemble their 1940s variant.
* According to their quotes, some officers have been in the locations that they are raiding when it was a “nice place”. This can also mean that the city had a lower crime rate before the 1940s.
