Gotham City Police Department (Earth-6531)

"We are the GCPD. We get to work when we come face-to-face will hell on Earth."

- - Commissioner James Gordon

The Gotham City Police Department (GCPD), officially the City of Gotham Police Department, is the municipal force tasked with protecting Gotham City, New Jersey, from crime. Led by Commissioner James Gordon, the GCPD is heavily prepared against the hideous of criminals, and with the help of Batman, they also dealt with bigger criminals such as Metahumans. In the past, the department was plagued with corruption, but it was eradicated by Gordon and his most trusted men.

History
Founded in 1820, the GCPD acted as the policing force of Gotham City, New Jersey for many years until it took a turn of corruption, cemented by the city's growing corrupt forces.

By the 20th century, the GCPD had already fully embraced corruption. In the 70s, the group was led by Commissioner Gillian Loeb alongside the political help of Mayor Hamilton Hill, crime lord Carmine Falcone, and businessman Thomas Wayne, serving as their own force. Anything that went against their orders was labelled an enemy, and so were many who attempted to investigate about Hill, Falcone, and Wayne, mysteriously disappearing. In fact, these individuals were sent to Arkham Asylum with faked licenses of mental illness and insanity, where they perished.
