Bornwood Sheriff Department

*The Bornwood Sheriff Department was founded in 1853, when the third crime-wave came through Bornwood forcing its Citizens into an island wide lockdown. First founded by Sir Edwardo as part of a push for a stop against crime, Edwardo and Mayor Julliean founded the BSD.*

***Sub-Divisions***

*The BSD contains 3 main subdivisions, with 7 other currently **locked** divisions.*

*The BSD, **Special Weapons and Tactics** ("SWAT") team, is the island fast and armed response unit, used in high risk tactical situations such as, but not limited too, armed robberies and Bank Heists. The BSD, **Criminal Investigation Unit** ("Detectives") is used for high technical investigations, and undercover operations to give the BSD an advantage and upper hand when trying to get evidence against crime organisations. The BSD also has a unit, for anti corruption within its department, **Internal Affairs** ("IA"), is in charge of keeping all of its units in-line.*
