'''AD Police''' is a manga series written by [[Tony Takezaki]] and illustrated by [[Senno Knife]], which was adapted on screen in an [[anime]] [[science fiction]] series, composed of the 12-episode long [[AD Police: To Serve and Protect]] TV series and the 3-episode long [[AD Police Files]] [[Original Video Animation|OVA]] series. AD Police is a [[spin-off]] of another anime series: ''[[Bubblegum Crisis]]''. The ''AD'' in AD Police is short for ''Advanced'', although there are some mistaken translations as ''Armored Division''.

== Story ==

The AD Police are an elite group of highly trained and specially equipped [[police]] officers who have been formed to deal with [[terrorism|terrorist]] activities and [[Boomer (anime term)|Boomer]] [[robot]] crimes in the city of [[Megatokyo]].
They are more heavily armed and equipped (including power armors like the K-11 and K-12) for a normal police force, but too lightly for a military organization.

The AD Police are offered a great deal of leeway in their activities, often blockading large sections of the city and causing great amounts of property damage in the course of fulfilling their duty. Despite their dedication to their jobs, however, the citizens of Megatokyo tend to dislike and distrust members of the AD Police, seeing them as corrupt and ineffectual.
