The Department of Magical Crimes ([[DMC]])

• HQ: [[The_Tannery]], a crumbling, ancient warehouse in [[Croydon]], [[London]].
• Legal Status: Operates under a centuries-old Royal Charter, making it difficult to dissolve but easy to sideline.
• Reputation: Known as the "dumping ground" for brilliant but problematic officers from other departments. It's where careers go to die, but also where the strangest cases land.
• Bureaucracy: Hamstrung by modern Ministry of Arcane Security ([[MAS]]) red tape and its own arcane, often contradictory, internal regulations.
