Emergency IBOCR phone number: (International Federal prefix number) + 180
Special Day (Federal public holiday) : June 1st, as the day to honor their own forces.
A two-level organization as a combination of police and intelligence force. They specialize in covert operations and deals, data gathering and monitoring, along with a unique first level of combined executive-judiciary power force.
The IBOCR do most of the dirty work on behalf of the Federation.
They don't hide that or their new judiciary role; they rather emphasize it to maintain a high level of fear to control the population.
Their specialty is making people disappear which are their favorite way.
The local laws involve death penalties and citizen class revocations rather than minor fines.
They use some police ranks and are considered "civilian class citizens" despite most of them having a military background at the beginning.
The IBOCR slowly switched to a special police force and the population has gotten used to their presence. The public do not know much about the IBOCR and it generally inspires them either fear and hatred. They are feared, which is their main objective, but over the years most have accepted them in their lives.
They are labelled the “police of the shadow”.
The IBOCR use maximum force to inflict fear.
