Realtime Worlds has lifted the lid on the cops of the APB world - the Prentiss Tigers and the Praetorians

The studio's last vodcast detailed the criminal gangs of San Paro, but the newest looks at the opposing factions. The Praetorians are described by lead creative designer Kitkat (aka Stephen Hewitt) as a "corporate police force", while the Prentiss Tigers are made up of jocks.

"If you can imagine the prom kings, prom queens... if those styles of characters went into law enforcement, this would be the type of group [they'd form]. They're all from wealthy families." explained Hewitt.

The enforcers are run by Jane Derren, whose father was the mayor of San Paro during the city's prohibition-era-Chicago style past as detailed in the game's backstory. In fact, Hewitt describes a complex political background for the character.

APB is still due for release in Spring 2010. Follow the link to watch the latest APB vodcast.
