			* 1x "'''Paddywagon'''" containment truck - Can fit five troops in the front cab, but it's cramped. Can hold up to four parahumans in the back, in divided cages. Typically a couple of the troops will chill back there unless they can't for whatever reason.

	While all PRT squads train to use confoam (the launcher is large and bulky, requiring two people to operate), it is seldom used due to both cost and liability reasons. It is only deployable on order of the Director or Operations Deputy Director, an action that will only occur for the most wanted of criminals. Even maintaining the equipment costs an alarming amount, so its use is seldom.

It is only deployable on order of the Director or Operations Deputy Director, an action that will only occur for the most wanted of criminals. Even maintaining the equipment costs an alarming amount, so its use is seldom.

			=== Operations ===

			PRT squads are comprised of ten officers, usually operating either as a whole or in two fireteams of five officers each. They will typically operate on either independent patrols throughout the city, or more often will "shadow" a Protectorate or Ward patrol. In the event of a parahuman fight breaking out, PRT officers will typically intervene only to protect civilian life, and will leave actual apprehension of the villains involved to those with powers. This means that most often during a fight, their role is to get civilians out of harms way and as far away from the danger as possible.

			==== Standardized PRT Loadout ====

			: ''Note: may vary based on local departmental resources and requirements.''

			Each troop is equipped with standard ALKE Mk VIa PRT armor, which is bulletproof (IIIa) and stab resistant. Although not airtight, the uniform doesn't expose any skin. It's composed primarily of kevlar and nomex with a chain mail underlayer.

			* Service pistol ({{wp\|Beretta M9}})
			* Shock baton
			* PRT comms ({{wp\|p25}} with [[NUCLEUS]] encryption modules)
			* CBR gear (Gas mask etc)
			* OC Spray
			* Zip Tie handcuffs
			* Flashlight

			Contained in the vehicles is the following “spare” gear to be used as needed:
			* 6x Rifle ({{wp\|M16A4}})
			* 2x Shotgun ({{wp\|Mossberg M590}})
			* Ammo for days
			* 2x Confoam launchers (foam canisters kept at PRT typically)
			* Positive pressure suits with {{wp\|SCBA}} gear
			* Flame-retardant gear
			* 2x Brute/Striker-rated handcuffs
			* 10x Beanbag shotgun rounds
			* Pepperball Rounds

			Kept at the base to be used in certain situations:

			* EMP grenades ([[NUCLEUS]] tech)
			* Confoam canisters ([[NUCLEUS]] tech - Director/Dep Dir Ops release only)
			* Anti-materiel rifles ({{wp\|Barrett XM500}})
			* HEAP ammo (High Explosive- Armor Piercing)

			==== ALKE Light combat armor (Mk VIa) ====

			The ALKE light combat armor platform is the mainstay of PRT forces, providing excellent protection and flexibility without sacrificing significant mobility. The most recent iteration consists of a breathable undersuit with integrated cooling loops, a layer of chain mail, and an outer shell consisting of a combination of nomex and kevlar composites. A helmet with integrated comms systems can also fit SCBA gear in case of airborne threats (note that while the armor leaves no exposed skin other than the face, it is not considered airtight).

			The system provides [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/118983851975376898/800577883285487626/2018-nij-body-armor-testing-levels-protection-popshield-1.png NIJ 0101.06] level IIIa armor protection and comprehensive stab protection, enabling enhanced resistance to a broad spectrum of physical parahuman threats when properly utilized.

			The first iteration of ALKE combat armor was introduced in 1992, before which PRT Operations squads used off-the-shelf armor similar to that used by SWAT teams.

			==== KERES Heavy combat armor (Mk Ib) ====

			First introduced in 2015 as a response to increased officer casualties from Brute-related threats, the KERES armor represents a significant upgrade to standard ALKE combat armor. A modified ALKE undersuit is worn as the base layer, with monitoring systems weaved into the fabric. On top of this, a titanium exoskeleton is worn, over which composite steel/kevlar armor is integrated. The helmet completely encloses the head, and in addition to standard commlink provides a HUD overlay providing health feedback, environmental data, and other essential combat data.

			It rates level IV NIJ bulletproofing, full CBRN protection, augmented burst lift strength of 250lbs, and approximately two hours of use before a recharge is required. Due to these requirements, and its significant purchase, upkeep, and training expense, the armor is only deployed to facilities where an enhanced Brute threat response is required.

			A Mark II iteration has been in the works at the [[NUCLEUS]] Fort Bliss facility, however while a few modified prototypes exist it’s considered not quite ready for production.

			==== PROIOXIS Special response framework ====

			Less a conventional armor system than the other options, the PROIOXIS framework was developed in collaboration with the [[NUCLEUS]] Fast Armor Repair Team to develop a power armor “skeleton” that could serve as a base for Protectorate Tinker power armor designs. Essentially, a conventionally-produced platform that can be easily repaired or replaced by PRT technicians, allowing the Tinkers to concentrate on other aspects of the armor design.

			The framework enables production of power armor weighing up to 4,000 lbs, with an integrated CAN bus data system, power network, and control API. While regenerative power systems can be fit, a source of power such as battery or generator must be provided by the Tinker, either their own design or one provided by the NUCLEUS favor network.
