AD Police

In the anime science fiction series Bubblegum Crisis, the AD Police are an elite group of highly trained and specially equipped police officers who have been formed to deal with terrorist activities and Boomer crimes in the city of Megatokyo.

The AD Police are offered a great deal of leeway in their activities, often blockading large sections of the city and causing great amounts of property damage in the course of fulfilling their duty. Despite their dedication to their jobs, however, the citizens of Megatokyo tend to dislike and distrust members of the AD Police, seeing them as corrupt and ineffectual.

The AD in AD Police is short for Advanced, not Armoured Division, as some fans claim.

• AD Police Files #1-3
