The FCPD (Flip City Police Department) is where most of the Kei'zatsu work to fulfil this role. The FCPD does not restrict itself to only members of the Kei'zatsu tribe as evidence by Penny and Spin who are not members of the Kei'zatsu tribe but are still allowed to join the FCPD and become full officers. They are the police officers of Flip City, and they ensure that all bots from all tribes obey the law. Since their job is to protect Flip City, they are forbidden from participating in various activities, such as the Flip City Grand Prix. The plaque on the precinct is their artifact.

Common Bot-Mods/Equipment[]

Siren: Members of the FCPD have spheroid drones that can follow them emitting the wail of a police siren. This does not appear to be issued to rookies/trainees as evidence with Spin.

  • Cuffs: Members of the FCPD are issued with restraining devices with the appearance of green energy disks. When a bot is hit it creates a container/prison constructed of energy to hold criminals. Rookies/trainees officers aren't issued with these.
  • Badge: As with most police forces, members of the FCPD are issued with a badge to prove that they are police officers. Rookies/trainees officers aren't issued with these.
  • Arm beam gun: FCPD Officers are equipped with a Bot-Mod in shape of a pop up cannon stored in their left arms that allows them to shoot destructive blue energy bolts from their arms that explode when they impact with an object or bot. Spin, Penny, Lance and Pounder are not shown to be equipped with these despite it seeming to be standard equipment.
  • Lug nuts: FCPD members are never seen far from a chocolate and sprinkled lug nut which appears to be their favourite food. What effect this has on them when they eat it is unknown as they get their power from the Hub.
  • Do-Right Modules: As the Kei'zatsu are the "the most law-abiding bots of all" and installing the module in criminals would be against their rights the Kei'zatsu were chosen to beta test the Do-Right Module in "The Do Right Module". This chip would shock the Kei'zatsu whenever they broke the law but unfortunately hampered police and rescue. Such as shocking them when going over the speed limit to catch speeders or performing rescues in restricted areas . Demonstrating the flaw in adhearing to strict rules without consideration for edgecases.
  • Hover Trucks: Spin commandeers a truck in a number of episodes to transport bots to the hub. The Swat bots also use similar vehicles for transportation as shown in "Wipeout" and the regular Kei'zatsu for recovery of captured criminals (how else would you transport a bot at speed when they're cuffed).
  • Comlink: All members of the FCPD (and actually most bots) are equipped with a communication device on their arms that allows them to make video calls via a holographic display.
  • Proton Cannon: The FCPD have at least one proton cannon. This isn't some side arm I am talking about this is a proper artillery gun. They are also capable of launching bots in their ball form.

Ability[]

The FCPD Officers are not very good at raising public awareness about criminals and even in their own ranks. There is evidence in "House Call" where a Fuzata fails to recognize Macro and fall into their trap. Also in "Inside Outside Upside Down" a Kei'zatsu confronts Manx, Botch, Macro etc. with apparently no clue with who he is dealing with.

The FCPD Officers do not appear to spend much time arresting dangerous criminals as they seem to have a hard time with dealing with the likes of Manx, Botch and Macro, even when they have them heavily out numbered. Swat bots seem to be more competent as shown in "Wipeout" where a Swat bot takes on Manx, Botch and Macro and shows himself to be highly skilled and quite tough. He could have won if there were fewer of them as he was only taken out by being blind sided. Although he failed to call for back and his partner legged it when confronted by the rogue bots. So some Kei'zatsu are better than others as in any organization. But the majority don't seem to be overly competent in the art of arresting criminals.
