For NationStates; Modeled in DoGa with Custom Parts While I slacked on doing that thing for Silverdale...----
Finally the OSA - technically chartered as a law enforcement organization - has something that kinda-sorta looked like a police cruiser. If one happens to ignore the turret ring occupied currently by the light bar and the two empty sponson rings. That is; it is clear that the OSA's designers intend that the Patrol Cruiser can be quickly fitted with heavy weapon systems if and (hopefully) when the need arises. To accommodate these (potential) systems, the design is fitted with a fairly substantial power plant that - in its base configuration - makes it pretty darn fast. It is heavily armored for a law enforcement platform and can shed small-arms fire like rain, though only moderately so for a military platform.
A quick count of the top hatches indicates that it had room for four, though two is standard for an OSA patrol. There is an empty compartment in the rear accessible through a large hatch-ramp and this is fitted out with a restraint system as well as an active suppression system for 'de-escalating' unruly suspects via sedative riot foam. Two six-tube box launchers visible just aft of the light bar are meant to carry 'utility' ordinance such as additional riot foam missiles or first responder drones but it isn't unknown for patrol officers assigned to the rougher parts of town to slip in a couple high-yield short-range missiles by 'mistake'. There is a laser anti-missile system mounted just above the forward OSA logo but safety systems built into the software supposedly make it impossible for this to be repurposed.
Unless one happens to know where to put the screwdriver.
Because the Patrol Cruiser utilizes only civilian technologies, it is available for export to friendly and neutral entities as either the LE or stripped-down SE variant.
