Welkin Council's Drug Department

A department formed by an election landslide in the Welkin Council for combating the rampant increase in drug supplying and distribution.

Founding
During the Hotel's early years, there was nothing to worry about. Most of the citizens were lawful and respectful. That changed when a certain individual moved to the Hotel. He started selling drugs, making people addicted and rival groups and people were sprouting. To combat this, the Welkin Council deemed it to be a high priority, which was the ultimate reason for the founding of the Welkin Council's Drug Department.

Operations
It has highly increased monitoring over the residents, mostly in the poor zone of the Hotel, as it's easier to supply and get them addicted. In it's first months, they were slow to react to the drug operations happening all over the hotel, but over time, they had established rudimentary tactics to deal with drug dealers and their arch-nemesis, Richard.

Tactics/Laws
The common method on how they search is questioning and checking the citizens apartments. This sometimes angers the populace, as they were promised luxury, not George Orwell's 1984 style constant routine checks.

If a citizen is found with drugs, they will be shortly transferred to the prison block for questioning. After procedures are done, a case will be filed in which they have the option of defending themselves in a trial or drop it and spend time in the prison.

If a citizen is found with drugs and has a weapon on themselves, the department is allowed to use their own weaponry to subdue the suspect. An operative accused of breaking this law by killing a suspect is placed under arrest and stands in court for said accused crime. Sadly, most are let go, as the hotel cannot afford to let it's operatives go through such lengthy court sessions.
