Positions
To start with, there are the divisions: main and detective division. In terms of duties, they are similar, yet detectives can do patrols alone and hold interrogations/investigations. The only position that is above both divisions is the Commissioner, who is the faction leader.

• [HU] Commissioner

Main Division

• [HU] Captain (CPT)
• [HU] Lieutenant (LT)
• Sergeant (SGT)
• Corporal (CPL)
• Patrol Officer (PO)
• Cadet

Detective

• [HU] Detective Superintendent (DSI)
• [HU] Detective Chief Inspector (DCI)
• Detective Inspector (DI)
• Detective Sergeant
• Detective Constable

These roles are made to create a sense of hierarchy and clear line of authority. Higher up roles are defined as such because of their weight in decision making for any number of topics: KPD applications, disciplinary actions, promotions, etc. When there is a lack of HU roles online, the next highest ranking has authority, and can pass along information as needed to higher roles. Other than that, the biggest differences lie in clearance for items. At any stage past Cadet someone can attempt to become a detective, and upon switching divisions, they become Detective Constables.

Cadet is the only role I will go into specifically, and that is because they are the "in-training" role. This is the role one assumes upon acceptance into KPD, and will go through a 2 week training period before taking an exam to become a PO. During this time, they are assigned trainers, and will go through training in a variety of ways, including demonstration and actually performing duties with higher ranking officers.

Duties
The duties/activities count quota, each with differing amounts assigned per task. These contribute towards your activity within the faction, as well as the paycheck one receives at the end of the month.

To summarize the majority of duties, and display my understanding of the overarching role that KPD officers have in Karakura; I have made groupings of the tasks. This is purposefully not a listing of individual quota task names & description. (Even if certain bullets are)

• Arrests - Criminals are arrested by officers, with the appropriate information logged and their mugshots recorded, and they are taken into custody. In addition, inmates are taken care of, and if applicable, visitation or transportation to court rooms.
• Reception - Taking calls, reports, & assisting citizens at the desk, this is how officers get information about situations and crime.
• Interrogation - Alongside investigations, this is done by the detective division to understand more about a situation from criminals or witnesses.
• Raids - A planned expedition to a goal (usually searching for contraband in a set location).
• City Oversight - Patrols, & watching CCTV allows officers to watch the city and get an idea of any situations going on, without them being reported.
• National Safety - When events occur, KPD is called over to the scene to assist in managing it and taking care of citizens' safety.

There are more duties, however, this is the majority of what officers are expected to do.

To truly understand where Atsuto grew from, the story begins 123 years prior, in the ancestry of Kyo.

“Your grandfather is a hero”
1902 - 1933
“Allow, permit, forgive.” The understanding of the name “Kyo” holds different definitions, yet strangely, towards the family, all meanings tend to define them. Tracing back to their origins, the family has roots in the Kantō region. While the present majority of the family was based in Tokyo, older generations could be found in Kanagawa prefecture. An era marked by a devastating storm of events, the family persevered with the will to live.
On a fall evening, at approximately 19:07, August 23rd, 1902, in the port city of Yokohama, a young boy had his first cry. As if by fate, the night bore a sky of deep darkness, sprinkled with stars that glittered. Thus, the name Kyo Haru, as translated into “clear weather,” came into the world. Born to a wealthy family that had held its hereditary title for old Samarais, it had since lost all real luster. Yet, like all young boys from both old and new, the word was an inspiration even if, at the time, the modernity of the family was nothing but a fable in comparison. Following his early childhood, his parents remained strict, yet he was showered with all the love and dreams he could hope for. At his will, he was enrolled in martial arts training. While he could not be described as a prodigy by any means, he possessed remarkable tenacity that commanded respect from his peers. In this, he grew into a well-strengthened teenager.
As if the world had its eyes on Japan, the very first port city drew in thousands of people, both for its economic benefits and its wonder. As such, he met a Japanese woman named Yuki in a true cliché fashion; the girl captured his heart. Her family, who had come into the city to establish trade, had not been quite as rich. In comparison to the wealthier family, his parents were not quick to approve. Yet Haru was not one to listen, and by the time he had turned nineteen, he had managed to marry the woman. At the same time, his dreams of pursuing martial arts flourished. He had found himself recruited into the police force. Being a strong figure and having a goal-oriented ambition, the young Kyo rose quickly in the rankings. Like any other, the ambition Haru held was not to become some national hero extraordinaire. He did not wish to have his name recorded, although he would not be opposed to such a statement either. However, he sought a wealthy life and to rise in the rankings, more so than he had already accomplished.
Yet, at a rough one month past the day Haru turned twenty-one, disaster struck. If you were to ask Haru what that day entailed, he could only describe it as a monstrosity that he didn’t know how he survived. As the walls of every structure began to rumble, buildings toppled one after another. In one of Japan’s worst national historic events, the ground had shattered and brought on what would later be deemed the “Great Kantō Earthquake”. This national disaster brought about countless deaths and missing persons. While lucky to be alive, Haru was not immune to the disaster's impact. As a police officer, he had all hands on deck to help aid in the disaster. From morning till dusk in the wake, he was in the city with countless others, overturning the rubble to find any living persons.. In the end, Haru never ended up making contributions that earned him a place in any books, yet he saved as many people as he could during the disaster. Years passed after the incident, and Yuki gave birth to a son, Kyo Miura. For once, life seemed to turn upside down as the people began to rebuild.

“Not like your father”
1940 - 2000
Kyo Miura, born in the aftermath of a disaster; the wake of it was engraved in his soul. His father, who had previously been a police officer and aided on the frontlines of national disasters, retired and personally sought education in martial arts and emergency procedures. As if the trauma of what had happened in Haru's sight, Miura was made aware of the scene in Yokohama that day, despite his birth being seventeen years post. In comparison to his father, Miura's life was at best lackluster. His early life flew by under his father’s pressure. As a consequence, he found himself in the seat of a police officer. Kaori Ichiro, a young woman who worked alongside Miura, drew close during their work, which ultimately brought her to the “protagonist” of this backstory. Atsuto. Born in 1987 on a spring night, his parents, who were stern and cold, wished for him to be different. “Kindness,” they called out as they explained his name to anyone. Unlike the previous generations, the child was born in Tokyo. To start anew and take the chance of promotion, Miura had moved there shortly after becoming a police officer.

Atsuto Kyo: 0 - 12
One cannot pretend their history doesn’t exist. . . This was also the case with Atsuto; being called “nice” did not suddenly erase the fact that his parents could not provide the warmth of a traditional home. Adversely, his parents were studious with his education from the moment he started walkin’ and talkin’. They did not preach martial arts like Haru had with Miura, but instead, they let the young child “pick” his hobbies. The term pick becomes loose as though Atsuto was the first to make the choice, he was not permitted to quit, or give up on any aspiration. Thus, commitment was a trait thrust on him unwillingly. When he chose to practice Kyudo and Kendo, traditional Japanese archery and swordfighting, he became well-versed in martial arts.
The days he spent, turning from a quiet yet arguably violent toddler (akin to literally every other toddler) to a tranquil and veiled child, happened outside of his home. Never a quiet moment, he relished the moments he spent in school, where, although the teacher spoke, he could watch the trees reflecting passing seasons in peaceful solitude. Though these moments were quickly traded when the bell tolled, as he had an air of popularity that was despised, yet in his growing respectful nature, he didn’t bother to address them. Then, after the class, he was sent to an endless stream of activities.
The freedom of choice that Atsuto believed he had was stripped from him during an argument once he had turned ten. It was like every other day: a studious class day, followed by a cram school, then Kendo class, and finally, he could rest at home. . . Per usual in a relatively warm household, his mother, Kaori Kyo, inquired about his day and school life, which was met with the young boy ranting over his supposed friends trying to take photos of him with their new flip phones. As if the idea delighted Kaori, she spoke with great indulgence.

“What a lovely idea! You should start modelling. Get yourself known in this world now.”

To Atsuto, this revelation that his mother spoke of was the end of the world instead. The idea of being in the limelight was repulsive at best, and as he talked of protest, his father became an authoritative hound. There was no recollection of the words that traded, but Miura took his resistance as traitorous, something that needed to be disciplined. . . In the end, Atsuto could never forget the feeling of the strengthened police officer’s–his father’s iron hand against his skin. If he felt that there was trust within the household, the semblance of it was destroyed in the matter of a singular night. Truthful feelings, he learnt, were made for him and him alone. So, he presented in front of the camera with a fixed disposition, even if he didn’t express displeasure, he never acted like he was having a grand time.

“What it means to be unique”
2000 - 2010

Atsuto Kyo: 13 - 23
“Jack of all trades, master of none, though oftentimes better than master of one.” The expression could not have suited young Atsuto more. He possessed capabilities above his peers, being well-rounded in his scholarship, someone who could not be pushed around due to his athleticism, and the popularity that rose with his unexpected modeling position. If anything, the kid still wished to be average. Yet, he was told that being unique was good, that standing out could only ever help him in life, that being recognized was a token he should not take for granted, as it would later help him achieve his goals. In a way, he understood that his tenacity and dedication, which were hard-earned from year after year of long, exhausting days, were only helpful. After all, when there was a test he needed to study for, he could get good grades without too much change to his schedule. All he needed to do was study for a bit after extracurricular activities, and he could pass the test with a good enough score to please his parents.
As he slowly made his way through the years, the societal expectation of knowing what he would do for the rest of his life gradually burdened his shoulders. Atsuto knew that his mother wished for him to continue and be a star, someone in the spotlight, which still never appealed to him in the slightest. So instead, he proposed a temporary idea that would please his father; he would follow the steps they had made and become a police officer. Though it didn’t exactly please his parents, they couldn’t refute the statement, being police themselves. Instead, Kaori just pushed him to do modelling non-verbally. More gigs. More photoshoots. More advertisements. In the natural mundane routine, Kyo had grown accustomed to getting dolled up in makeup, finding the eyeliner he garnered occasionally, a rather cool token to add to his appearance. To his mother's pleasure, outside of classes, he continued to put on a slight amount of makeup.
Atsuto could not remain the same forever, and as he aged, his personality shifted slightly to become more accepting and open, no longer entirely appalled by the idea of standing out. However, a core belief began to take hold, where, despite his easy-going nature, disrespect could never be entirely dispelled from his life. The attitude of others profoundly affected his character when they did not respect him or his choices. If his parents held him to the standard of being respectful to others, why did said others not have to reciprocate? The moral high ground became something of an enigma, as it only applied to him and him alone, due to his parents' attitude. Thus, a slight rebellion began to fester, and the day he turned eighteen, it set in motion.
The day drew like all others, except that instead of attending class, he found himself at a tattoo parlor. So actually, it was nothing like any other day. A few hours later, he was back at home. . and when his parents returned after working hours, their reactions differed wildly from each other. Neither was particularly enthusiastic about his rebellion, but his mother did not reproach it too harshly, saying that it did boost his individuality. His father was a different scenario, and before there could be any sort of explanation, a hand attempted to strike him. As an adult who was just as trained as the older generation, the blow never landed. In follow-up, he became distant with his parents and moved to his own place to begin his university days.

“Sticking to a plan”
2010 - 2025

Atsuto Kyo: 23 - 38
The years passed at the university with no trouble. He attended the University of Tokyo, how stereotypical. Yet, the program they sponsored in criminology fostered a well-rounded education. In his nature, being raised to be dedicated, the fact that he said he was going to become a police officer meant that he would follow through, no matter what. He stopped modelling and ignored most of his peers. This is not to say he had no friends, but rather, he kept a few close friends nearby who treated him with the respect he felt he deserved; otherwise, all others became an ignored background noise. He studied passionately, graduating with good grades.
He didn’t exactly struggle to find a job, quickly establishing himself in the Tokyo police department. Kyo rose in positions until he became a Corporal, where his placement plateaued. And he lived his years until nearly his 40s, fighting crime and doing standard police work. Yet, to the man now, the city's bustle became overwhelming. . after all, he never cared for attention in the first place. This prompted a “midlife crisis,” where he abandoned his life and friends, and moved to the outskirts of Karakura to lead a simple life of police work, promptly applying to the Karakura Police Department.
