| - A unit of soldiers and tactical specialists working for the Redwood Police Department, S.H.I.E.L.D.S. was founded in 1984 in order to suppress the rising threat of crime and terrorism. The specialized force was also part of David Hanson's "Better Tomorrow" Plan, which recieved funds from local stores and citizens of the city. By 1990, Team Red had grown too large and Team Blue was founded with 5 Members. by 1995, Green Team was added with 4 Members. In 1982, due to the rising crime rate, Mayor Hanson asked the people to donate for a better police force. Local businesses and multiple citizens donated heavily and by 1983, the fund reached roughly 100,000 dollars. Training began with 7 Members of the Redwood Police Department who showed exceptional merit and continued until the summer of 1984. In the fall of the same year, S.H.I.E.L.D.S. brought down the Third Street Kings, a large drug-smuggling group that terrorized much of downtown. By 1990, The team's presence caused the crime rate to drop nearly half. Team Red had gotten it's 15th Member, Police Chief Peace noticed that Team Red was getting too large, and had half of it transferred to a newer spot he called Team Blue. Peace then considered making a third team but soon realized that the current teams were too small. In 1995, A sudden spike in crime happened and more officers began to join S.H.I.E.L.D.S. causing Peace to create the third and final team, Team Green. The team began to work overtime, and brought down numerous small gangs in the city. In 1999, Police officials were called to examine a train accident near Gapping Maul Crevice, Team Green locating it in the helicopter and thus being the first on the scene. They examined the wreckage, Team Blue had arrived shortly afterwards, Vanessa Wilder taking samples of the green chemical for study, Green Team searched the wreckage, nothing major was found.
