"The slugs alone could not provide enough ADAM for serious work. But combined with the host... now we have something." - Brigid Tenenbaum This article, or section of an article, is a stub. It is too short to provide more than rudimentary information about a subject. Would you kindly help this wiki by expanding it?

"Come on in and show us those snappy snappies." - Peach Wilkins This article could use some more pictures. Would you kindly help BioShock Wiki by adding some? Pictures needed: Renders: The logo; The various signs and shields; Finkton Police Department list; Columbia Police Authority wagon (Downtown Emporia).

“Protecting our race”

― Columbia Police Authority slogan

The Columbia Police Authority, or the Columbia Police Department, is the armed branch of the Founders. It serves as a patrol force for monitoring Columbia, a police force for defense, a private security force for the city's elite, and an army for invasions of land-based locations. They are seen in every district of Columbia, not just to patrol and break up small "disagreements," but also to intimidate the city's population. They usually demand new recruits whom are at a young age, doing so by using Columbia's elaborate propaganda pieces in Soldier's Field and the Hall of Heroes. Aside from regular infantry, they also have many other specialized combat units, including Firemen, Beasts, various Security Automatons, Zealots of the Lady (also known as Crows), Handymen, and Motorized Patriots.
