New Versailles Police Department
The New Versailles Police Department exists for the soul purpose of protecting the lives of those within the city and maintaining order throughout the city. NVPD is considered the 9th district of New Orleans and is dedicated to upholding the laws and regulations of New Versailles.
This includes the laws of both the mundane world and the supernatural, despite the diversity, their priorities will always remain as one unit among the factions. While some members of the NVPD are completely human and unaware of the supernatural underground, others are quite aware of the happenings within the shadows of the city and partner with their military counterpart to keep the two worlds from co-existing.
Lazarus is the special forces military unit of New Versailles. While their presence is not always noticed or needed they tend to handle the larger infractions within the city when the situation threatens the veil of the supernatural in which it would be exposed to the mundane world.

New Versailles Fire Department
New Versailles fire department is a small branch off of the existing fire department of New Orleans, while there are 33 fire stations in New Orleans, New Versailles is home to Station 34 . The main fire station is located in Riverside only a few streets down from the police station. Station 34 is overlooked by the Fire Chief. While the station relies primarily on volunteer firefighters, many are professionally trained and paid for their upstanding services. Station 34 is home to 2 fire engines (trucks), 1 tanker and 1 quint.
The History of Station 34
Station 34 was originally located in Hatchet, built in 1964 the station stood for nearly 30 years before it's final response was initiated the same night it was forced to shut down. In 1990 the local asylum reported a high risk purge of local patients who had rioted and escaped. New Versailles had never been so shaken as unstable patients ran amok in Hatchet, threatening to delve into the city. While several homes and businesses were destroyed in the chaos of the night, the fire of station 34 was by far the biggest headline of the news for many weeks to come.
Station 34 caught fire in Hatchet early on that evening after the only engines at that time had been dispatched, while much equipment was lost in the fire, the city had also lost several members of the NVFD during the night. Their names engraved on a plaque that resides at the entrance of the new station. The fire station saw a grim ending that fateful night, but by the following year with additional funding donated to the recreation of the building, Station 34 now stands strong in it's new location in Riverside.
