Police

The **Police** (which rhyme with ice) are an organisation that guard the Ice Prison, under the leadership of Warden Frostbite. They are the antagonists of Mission 7 of Assassin of Steve, where they successfully arrest you for killing the Minemaster, then try to stop you from escaping.

## Information

The police force consists of the following enemies:

* Ice Prison Guards are mainly in charge of watching over prison cells and herding prisoners around. They wear a full suit of armor and a Riot Shield for maximum protection, and wield an Electric Stick in order to subdue prisoners.
* Frozen SWAT are trained in Super Weapons And Terminating good guys, being skilled with the Tactical Shotbow to shoot at criminals from a distance.
* The Hunting Spiders' spider-sense is used to help sniff out criminals and escaping prisoners. They also have a poisonous, freezing bite that can incapacitate criminals.
* Police Officers are wither skeletons who are generally in charge of going out into the Frozen Wasteland and Glacier Mountain Ranges to arrest criminals.
* Warden Frostbite is in charge of the Police and rules the Ice Prison with an iron fist.

Other enemies related to the Police but not part of the fighting forces include:

* Frozen Prisoners, which can sometimes be encountered when breaking down ice prison cells. They will attack the player instead of trying to help them escape, under the belief that if they help stop the player they will be released.

## History

The Police has existed for some time, operating out of the Ice Prison and under the leadership of Warden Frostbite. He rules the prison and the Police as a whole with an iron fist, seemingly obsessed with control. He routinely imprisons the Pollus Villagers 'just for being villagers', as described by his cousin Sheriff Firearm.

The Police are one day alerted that the Minemaster was murdered (likely by some of his miners), prompting a large task force of Police Officers to be sent out to Arrest Valley in order to intercept the player as they leave the Minemaster's mines. The player is quickly arrested and brought to the Ice Prison inside a prisoner van, where they are put on the maximum security level at the bottom of the prison. However, the ice-block melts (possibly due to Stuart 'hacking into the prison's systems'), and the player escapes, fighting their way up through the multiple levels of the prison and freeing the all of the imprisoned Pollus Villagers along the way.

When the player reaches Warden Frostbite, they fight. He tries to stop them by freezing them in an ice block, however they thaw out almost immediately, again possibly due to Stuart. He calls in some of his Police Officers to assist, but they are all no match for the player, and Warden Frostbite is killed.

The player then is able to escape out of the prison itself. Some Police Officers in watch towers outside try to stop them, but they are also all killed, and the player escapes into the Glacier Mountain Ranges with the Pollus Villagers.

It is likely that afterwards, the survivors of the breakout would have regrouped, elected a new warden, and continued operating.

## Trivia

* There used to be Ghasts outside of the Ice Prison in earlier versions, but they were cut due to flying out of the map boundaries.
