MBI Rank Structure

The agents of the Megakat Bureau of Investigation are trained to handle a wide-variety of mission criteria geared towards serving the public interest. The MBI monitors criminal activity within Megakat City and the surrounding region, specializing in anti-terrorism and anti-organized crime response.

The agents of the MBI are required to remain in peak mental and physical condition, with regular combat training sessions and educational retreats with other law enforcement agencies to keep up to date with the latest methods and information regarding criminal activities.

Agents are required to meet performance standards, able to run one mile in 4 minutes and be proficient in hand-to-hand and firearm combat. Basic survival training and negotiation skills are also trained in regularly.

Types of Personnel:

• Director: This is the top position of the bureau, and only occupied by one individual. The Director represents the MBI in administrative affairs and keeps regular contact with the Deputy Mayor. The Director also holds a position on the Megakat City Council and contributes to making city policy. Bureau budgeting, disciplinary issues and public relations are handled by the Director. The MBI’s current director is Mark Sulfur. Recommended Firearm: Glock 30
• Captain: This is the top field position of the bureau, and is typically occupied by only one individual per duty shift. The Captain carries out the Director’s policies in practical application.

The MBI’s current captains are Jason Korat and Joseph Forge. Recommended Firearm: Glock 17
