The D'larah City Patrol, often shortened to DCP, served as the main law enforcement agency within the city of D'larah located on the world of Demophon. In addition to policing, the DCP supplied security services to local businesses, for example Shankti Drive Works and Tumleh Navigation. The city's charter explicitly guaranteed its authority to operate its own police force. In the past, the city experienced very little violence, and therefore DCP officers generally did not wear protective armor. However, their connections with companies that developed prototype technologies ensured they could access the most cutting-edge equipment for their use.
Even with their resources, once news spread that Demophon's sun was destined to go supernova during the time of the Galactic Civil War, the DCP became overwhelmed by a rapid increase in criminal behavior. This situation resulted in the adoption of severe tactics, with officers frequently resorting to lethal force before conducting investigations. The situation worsened when DCP personnel began leaving the planet as part of the evacuation efforts.
