Arcadian Patrol

The Arcadian Patrol was the police department that enforced law on Arcadia. During the Human-Covenant War, the Arcadian Patrol saw action in the First Battle of Arcadia and took part in civilian evacuation efforts.

History
When the Covenant attacked Pirth City, the Arcadian Patrol fought the Covenant alongside the SPARTAN-II Red Team. The policemen were no match for the invaders, but kept fighting in order to give civilians time to evacuate.

Particularly heavy fighting took place around the subways, where Covenant ambushed desperate civilians leaving the subways, while squads of policemen engaged the Covenant to little success. Fortunately for the policemen, reinforcements from the Phoenix-class Colony Ship soon arrived to relieve them, and the subways were quickly secured. The majority of the Arcadian Patrol moved on to defend the three evacuation ships, but some squads of police were evacuated alongside civilians.

Alongside the Spartans and Marine forces, the Arcadian Patrol suffered heavy casualties but was able to hold off the Covenant long enough for hundreds of civilians to escape.

The Arcadian Patrol suffered heavy casualties during the battle, and it can be assumed that it was dissolved after the battle, because the remainder of the colony (mostly located in Abaskun) fell into lawlessness.

Trivia

 * The Arcadian Patrol seemed to be mostly made up of Irishmen.
