Cost 2 JP per level
DESCRIPTION
The superhero has been deputized by a legitimate law enforcement agency, and as a result has both the legal authority and the legal responsibilities of a sworn officer of the law.
- Level 1 (2 JP): Local Law Enforcement. The superhero has the power to arrest, detain, search, and use reasonable force equivalent to a local police officer. The superhero also has all of the attendant professional and legal responsibilities of such a position, including reporting to superior officers and filing paperwork. The superhero does not have to be an actual cop, but his powers and responsibilities will be equivalent to one. If the superhero follows the rules, Legal Enforcement Powers can be very useful. If the superhero ignores the rules, they will be stripped from him quite quickly.
- Level 2 (4 JP): National Law Enforcement. As above, but his powers are granted by his nation, making an entire country his jurisdiction.
