Police Chief of Anikdotia

The Police Chief of Anikdotia is the leader of the Anikdotia Police Department. The position is assigned by the President of Anikdotia and the police chief answers directly to the Anikdotia State, and the president in particular. The position is currently held by Kia Wessman.

Fourth term of office
During the fourth term of presidential office in Anikdotia, the position of police chief was assigned to Benjamin von Holmberg by himself as the sitting president.

Fifth term of office
Benjamin kept the title of police chief during the fifth term of office, despite repeated complaints from president Petrus Christensson. During the fifth term of office, the police chief was considered by president Christensson to be the weak link in the Anikdotian side in the War on Drugs and they disagreed a lot. Despite this, the Anikdotia Police Department succeeded in shutting down both Heisenberg's Cartel and the Clandestine Chemistry Cartel, from which they collected approximately 3645 individual bottles of drugs.

After the conclusion of the War on Drugs, president Petrus Christensson fired Benjamin von Holmberg from the Anikdotia Police Department. The position of police chief was then transferred to the only other employee of the department, Kia Wessman.

Position and powers
The Police Chief of Anikdotia is the third-highest ranked state employee in Anikdotia after the President of Anikdotia and the Prime Minister of Anikdotia. The police chief commands the Anikdotia Police Department and can hence direct police efforts to solve high priority cases. An example of this was during the War on Drugs when drug-related crimes had a higher priority than other crimes. The police chief can also in some cases override court decisions and incarcerate criminals without a fair trial if permitted to do so by the president, something that was used during the War on Drugs. They can also employ citizens to work for the Anikdotian police force by giving them a police badge.
