Following the sea level rise around the Western Hemisphere in 2048, as a result of climate change, coastal erosion and the 2048 Gulf of Mexico Tsunami, which particularly affected the Gulf of Mexico, the Federal Government of the USA issued the Gulf Assistance and Relief Act (GAR Act) with the aim of rebuilding critical infrastructure and resettling the evacuees’ the southern United States in central Florida.

A special administrative region was created in a radius of 100km from the original location of the Tampa City Hall building, in order to facilitate building efforts by both public and private sector organizations aswell as to provide “the necessary expedience and efficiency” to the management of such efforts by FEMA, Florida National Guard and the remnants of the local police and sheriff departments and precincts.

In 2050, FEMA established the Midwich Metropolitan Police Department (MMPD) by combining the remnants of the local police and sheriff departments and precincts in affected areas and volunteers from the US Coast Guard, Army and Marine Corps. It stayed under direct hierarchical subordination to FEMA until 2070.

In 2081, amid increasing civil unrest and massive walkouts from the MMPD, the Midwich Administrative Area Militarized Security Forces (MADMSF) is created. It is a militarized police force comprised of war veterans (particularly US Army and Marine Corps) and former MMPD SWAT officers (“door kickers”). The Pillar private military contractor is hired to provide services under MADMSF “until adequate number of officers are hired and trained, however long that may take”.
