Threats and Hazards

Recent events have shown the current Enforcer capabilities to be grossly inadequate in regards to countering criminal and terrorist activity in Megakat City. The resulting costs -both monetary and in loss of life- have become too high to tolerate any further. Unfortunately, such threats are likely to only become more deadly in the future. The most dangerous crimes have been through so called knowledge-enabled weapons- utilizing "fast, cheap and out of control" technologies in the areas of artificial intelligence/robotics, biotechnology and nanotechnology- in addition to conventional threats posed by nuclear, biological and chemical weaponry.
