Science Police

In the 30th and 31st centuries, the Science Police is under the jurisdiction of the United Planets and has divisions on each world.^{[citation needed]} Its headquarters are on Earth in the city of Metropolis.^{[citation needed]} The Science Police has a professional working relationship with the Legion of Super-Heroes, with Shvaughn Erin serving as the SP's liaison to the Legion.^{[citation needed]} Legionnaires Colossal Boy, Saturn Girl, Magno and Kinetix have all served with the Science Police at one time or another.^{[citation needed]}

In the 21st century, the Science Police serve the federal government of the United States, with divisions in Metropolis and Midway City.^[1] The Science Police was created to replace the Special Crimes Unit,^{[citation needed]} a division of the Metropolis Police Department that specialized in crimes committed by metahumans and aliens.^{[citation needed]}

Metropolis's local Science Police are called into action when an unknown monster and later on Atlas attack the city during Superman's absence. Team leader DuBarry is shown to have self-confidence problems. The Science Police are assisted by a behind-the-scenes communications expert known as Control (a.k.a. Rachel) who is also the division's second-in-command.^[1]

DuBarry was killed along with fellow team leader Daniels and several prison guards when a team of Kandorians led by Commander Gor assaulted Stryker's Island and demanded custody of Parasite.^[2] The Science Police second-in-command Rachel asks Guardian to act as the liaison between the Metropolis Police Department and a coalition of superheroes in bringing justice for the fallen Science Police officers and prison guards.^[3] After the Kandorians left Earth, Guardian was appointed the team leader of the Science Police due in part to his cloned memories of Jim Harper's expertise as a police officer and a superhero.^[4]
