Editing Bikini Bottom Police Force

[[File:PTruck.jpg|thumb|Police]]
'''The Bikini Bottom Police''' are a well organized police force. They have Police cars, trucks, planes, helicopters, Chevrolet Impalas, and some other realistic vehicles to use. They have many officers and bases. There is no cars parked here and the only person there is un-uniformed [[Anchovy]] officer. Although a door behind him is locked and the sound of phones and 911 emergencies can be inside. Their first appearance is in [[Hall Monitor]], and didn't appear again until the episode [[F.U.N.]]. They are seen in many, many other episodes. Most of the police are known to arrest people for strange reasons, like littering.

'''S.W.A.T. Team:''' While the ordinary police department can't handle serious emergency situations, the S.W.A.T. team is available for such emergencies. The S.W.A.T. team is seen assisting Animal Control and Hazardous Materials teams. S.W.A.T. team is equipped with soldiers armed with harpoons, other soldiers are armed with batons and riot shields. The vehicles used by S.W.A.T. team are military helicopters armed with a small metal battering ram and military buses for transport dozens of soldiers. They're also experimenting about [[The Ick]]. They also appeared in the episode: [[The Thing]] after the Animal Control went through a frenzy of catching [[Smelly]] the thing.

'''Military/National Guard:''' This was revealed in [[Good Neighbors (Episode)|Good Neighbors]] that there's a military/national guard when it showed a tank firing at Squidward's House when Squidward's security system he installed in his house had gone haywire.

'''[[Tentacle Acres]]:''' Not much is known about Tentacle Acres' Police Department besides showing two guards at the front gate who were knocked out by fried Oyster Skins. But another other officer was sent out to stop the crazed Squidward in the episode [[Squidville]]. However Tentacle Acres is a different city then Bikini Bottom and is not just a district.

'''K9 Units:''' K9 Units were revealed in [[Slide Whistle Stooges]] The K9 units is basically the S.W.A.T. team with Worms

'''Rock Bottom:''' The Rock Bottom officers use guns, batons, bazookas and other weapons to use. They have relitively smaller transportation to use and a shorter personed S.W.A.T team.
