Orc Patrol
The Orc Patrol, also known as the "Red Berets", were a specialized unit in many United Orcs police departments, trained to perform dangerous operations. These included serving high-risk arrest warrants, performing hostage rescue and/or armed intervention, preventing terrorist attacks, and engaging heavily-armed criminals. Orc Patrol teams were equipped with specialized firearms including submachine guns, shotguns, carbines, riot control agents, stun grenades, and high-powered rifles for marksmen (snipers). They often had specialized equipment including heavy body armor, entry tools, armored vehicles and night vision optics, as well as a wide range of cybernetic performance-enhancing implants.
Although serving in civilian environments, the Orc Patrol was technically a regional branch of the United Orcs Military.

Uniform
The standard Orc Patrol uniform was a white jumpsuit with red shoulder straps.

The colors red and white were present in all Orc Patrol uniforms, vehicles, and insignia.
History
Originally established on planet Orceron, the Red Berets were specialized units in local police departments. They were later unified under a single banner, referred to as the Orc Patrol. In common parlance, OP units were simply referred to as "the Patrol".
After the destruction of Orceron in the Great Cataclysm, the Orc Patrol was re-established on Aldaain, serving a similar role.
During the Third Age, the head security chief of the Patrol was Kl'zek De-root.
Following the disbanding of the United Orcs, the Orc Patrol eventually merged into the new Inter-Planetary Security Forces organization and ceased independent operations.
