For the Rise of the Samurai art, see Police Office (Rise of the Samurai).
The Police Office is a type of propaganda chain building in Fall of the Samurai.
Description[]
"Ssshhhh. We ask the questions, not you"
while the shinsengumi became a police force of sorts, they had man of the habits of the gangs and "secret" societies they purported to oppose. Often drawn from the ranks of ronin, impartial observers would probably have trouble in distinguishing between protection racketeers and the squads of special police. The use by the Shogun of the shinsengumi was probably little more than a recognition that troublemakers were going to cause trouble. It was therefore better to have some control over them than none at all, particularly as these men were largely traditionalists at heart. It was inevitable that Japan modernised in the face of foreign intervention or domination, and reactionary forces had to be kept in check somehow. Better, then, to co-opt the shinsengumi than let them do anything they wanted.
