STATE POLICE

The State Police, both officers and special forces, became the first obstacle in the path of the hordes of infected,

when they went out into the streets and started attacking people. The first heroes who stood up to protect people had to face with an enemy that was terrifying in appearance, numbers and "survivability", and that no one understood how to kill.

When the police and special forces gained experience and began to somehow resist the living dead, many, many of them colleagues either lay cold as corpses or marched with the horde on other people. The losses were catastrophic, and could have become even worse if not for the courage of law enforcement officers and the assistance of the army and the national guard.

By the time the first survivor camps and evacuation points were established by the forces police - the number of regular police patrol officers remained less than 50% of the pre-epidemic composition, and by the time of entry into cities of the regular army and the national guard in 1993 - there are practically none left at all.

The police special forces organized a successful defense of the camps in some places, collecting everything that could be useful against the infected. At first, the police strictly prohibited civilians from taking part in combat operations. However, with the increase in losses and the decrease in the number of combat-ready officers, civilians began to be drawn into the defense, but only those who themselves expressed a desire to help and had experience in handling weapons.

By the time the military entered the cities and began evacuating civilians in 1993, police and special forces were also considered subject to evacuation, along with civilians, and all defensive measures were taken over by the military. Police officers who wanted to help liberate the country were sent to qualification courses and military training centers, where they underwent retraining and were later enlisted in regular army units serving in the red zone.
