HOW DOES THE MILITARY DEFENSE WORK

 

 

Against corruption: If a member of the police or military is suspected of corruption, one can deposit an anonymous tip and be rewarded with money, if the investigation later conducted does conclude the member to have been corrupt, as well as being promoted in the profession. This way, members of the police departments will be encouraged to :

1) Understand their partners will be motivated to speak should they be suspected of corruption

2) Behave

 

Police stations are monitored with cameras and microphones, which workers are aware of, lowering the chances of police abusing their power since such individuals often feel more encouraged if they have accomplices, but in this case possible “accomplices” would either be warded off knowing they could be easily caught.

 

Military defense-wise, in Terra Nova, a few basic concepts exist that help in the protection of its citizens, though it seems important to mention that its military is mostly organized for the protection against possible terrorist or extremist groups within Terra Nova, since Terra Nova is an overly neutral, peaceful country, independent of any other countries, similarly to Switzerland, though special radars are used, programmed to set off an alarm should to any unplanned threat approach the land of Terra Nova, preventing unexpected ambush, a similar idea retracted from the marine radars found on large ships, in which radars are programmed to recognize other ships or boats and keep a safe distance, in order to avoid collision.
 

Firstly, biometric data is collected,  specifically fingerprints, renewed every year as part of school and later work medical check ups, making sure all citizens are accounted for and easily identifiable. Should government, military or police need to check, compare or review a person’s data, for any reason, they do not require the person to come in personally, in physical form, they can simply retract the individual’s E-identity and do their work directly.

 

Furthermore, in respect to protecting against terrorism, bomb material is tracked and identified with the help of many different technologies. Such technologies include spectroscopy, in which sources of radiation are spotted and once explore material comes in contact the released energy is converted into a wavelength of light, which the detector then uses to determine where exactly the explore came from. This form of explosive detection, including biotechnology in which trained bees, specifically sniff bees, to detect explosive materials and illegal drugs with the help of incredibly advanced software monitoring the insects, is also in Terra Nova’s airports and border controls.

 

For the basic military protection, Terra Nova uses basic military equipment and organization, like tanks, missiles (for/of several uses), aircraft, naval warfare, etc. These are only actually used, should a threat requiring such intervention or protection arise. Otherwise, the individuals joining the military will be trained in terms of helping maintain these machines and control and manage the software they are operated by.
 

To occasionally monitor inhabited land, in which possible terror or alien groups could possibly meet and work illegally, wasp micro drones (unmanned aerial platforms) with cameras often fly over these lands.

 

HOW DO WE PROTECT OUR PEOPLE

 

City police force receives special training in using the appropriate technology to track criminals. This includes understanding how to access and handle E-Identities, reading digital biometric data (e.g. fingerprints), learning how to track criminals via their phones GPS, etc. Depending on the police member’s interest, they will further specialize in doing their jobs through technology, meaning finding and tracking possible criminals through networks and computer software, applying electronic tagging as a form of surveillance, or actually responding to emergency calls and physically interacting ( e.g. arresting) with individuals on the streets, at possible crime scenes, etc. Additionally, in contrast to the real-life example of Apple, who has recently refused its ability to unlock iPhones of terrorists for the FBI, in Terra Nova, private companies do not prevail, meaning everyone has the same cell phone, that can be personalized (and tracked, unlocked, viewed if necessary),  which the police can access, as mentioned in other sections, should the circumstances require it.
