The Federal Coastal Security Bureau, formerly just Coastal Police (abbreviated CP), is a specialized branch of Lovia's Federal Police, that provides various services at sea, such as armed law enforcement as well as search and rescue functions. Due to it's militarized structure, it is often considered a more friendly alternative to a national navy or coast guard. The Coastal Police are not a subset of any superior armed forces, as are most other military police forces. As of June 2011, the division was reported to have approximately five hundred active officers, which stands for a significant quantity of the population. The current Chief of the Coastal Police is currently Christopher Costello.
