Ask the BellHunters

Hello, I'm Dawn Hunter-Bellwether...er, formerly Dawn Bellwether if you didn't recognize the added surname. And before you ask, yes 'that' Dawn Bellwether. Ex-Assistant Mayor, Ex-Mayor, Ex-Criminal Mastermind (Reformed thank you very much), City Savior, Controversial Author, and Predator/Prey relationship advocate. I'm also, as you probably guess by the hyphenated last name, married, and happily so to my mate Vernon Hunter, a gray wolf. I'm also a mother to three wonderful pups, something I never thought I'd ever have the chance to be! But, lamb sakes, I've gushed enough about myself here without explaining exactly what this blog is for. You see, after the release of my book “Predator Seeking Prey”, our little family started to get a lot of public attention again, and with it came a lot of question from curious mammals and other pred/prey couples from all over Animalia. My best friend and mate Vernon thought it would be a good idea to deal with these questions directly by opening a sort of blog/forum and taking those questions about our lives directly. Since then, I'd like to say our little blog has been quite successful, with even members of our family and friend circle pitching in and taking a few questions as well. So with all that said., please feel free to Ask Away!


Oh, and also, feel free to check our old location for previous asks until we can get a better archive system in place!

(Blog Author Note: This blog is based on the fanfiction “The Rehabilitation of Dawn Bellwether” as well as it's pseudo-sequel “A Lamb Among Wolves”. If you haven't read them, it'll probably help you better understand what's going on here if you do. I'll link both stories below. Oh Also, I'm open to questions as well. Simply direct “Author” emails to “WastedTime” when composing them. And before I forget, I have a Patreon! Five dollars gets you access to in progress fics, Ask priority, and art previews of both SFW and NSFW art. Of course, even a dollar would help. Seriously, it's how I keep projects like this alive.

Ask 270; ZPD and it's History

 

Bogo: Ah, well I suppose the roots of the ZPD started after the events of the Native Wolf War in 1666 A.P. The following year, the Norwulff settled district of Alpine Glade would go on to establish Zootopia's first standing army, and over the next decade the other districts would follow suit. Although it would take about another century before those standing armies merged into one, and then went on to diverge into two distinct factions that would serve as the foundation for both the modern ZPD and the Zootopian reserve military. 


In 1769 the 'Zootopian Civilian Defense Patrol', or ZCDP was founded in an official capacity, brought together under former general Barnabus Lionheart, who would act as its first Chief. Though largely staffed by Wolves and Lions initially, over the years it would expand to officers of all spots and stripes. The Zootopian Civilian Defense Patrol name stuck around until 1902, when it took on the Zootopian Police Department titling we know today.


As for how many officers and detectives we have, well I couldn't tell you the exact numbers. We do have roughly three hundred or so employees working at District one alone, although not all of them are officers who work a beat. And though you've probably heard of Precincts one through four, there are eighty precincts across all the districts total, with a new one expected to open in Little Rodentia some time next summer.
