The Decepticon Secret Police are the New Decepticon Empire's feared enforcers, charged with upholding the ideological purity of the Empire and it's citizens. The Decepticon Secret Police are the enforcers of the Edicts of Decepticon Purity, the code of conduct that all Decepticons are expected to function by. In order to ensure compliance, they have been given broad-ranging powers to watch and investigate the Empire's citizens so that they can purge any transgressions or deviance from the code. While the existence of the Decepticon Secret Police is well known (A move made entirely by choice in order to help ensure compliance) few realise just how broad-ranging its powers are, or to what level it has burrowed in to everyday Decepticon society. The Decepticon Secret Police has eyes and ears everywhere, and not just in a metaphorical sense. They maintain an elaborate web of surveillance, through conventional recording devices, drones and even specially modified Decepticons. But even more insidious in many ways are the number of Decepticon citizens who are informants for the Secret Police, discretely ratting out their fellows for the slightest hint of deviancy. Very few are aware that the Empire engages in such behavior, deliberately turning comrades against one another. In addition to its surveillance, the Decepticon Secret Police have broad powers to act. They are able to arrest and detain without trial any citizen whom they suspect of deviant behavior, regardless of if they are guilty or not. If the suspect is found to be innocent, a rare occurrence, then they are usually remained for deprogramming and then released. In the far more likely chance that they are found to be guilty, then they will face swift and summary punishment for their crimes. Those punishments vary harshly based on the particulars of the crimes committed, as well as the individual responsible. Relatively minor infringements, such as possessing alien media or keeping an alien alt-mode are punished through public confessions, purification rituals and reformatting, demotion, forced labor and, in extreme cases, loss of identity. In more severe cases, the suspect will be publicly executed for his crimes. However, in many cases, the suspect is simply 'disappeared', and rendered for Recycling. The mandate of the Decepticon Secret Police also includes preventing Autobot infiltration of the Empire and attempts to subvert their citizens. However, the bulk of its mechanoid power and activities seem to be devoted more to the compliance of its own people.
