In the anime science fiction series Bubblegum Crisis, the AD Police are
an elite group of highly trained and specially equipped police officers who
have been formed to deal with terrorist activities and Boomer crimes in the
city of Megatokyo.
The AD Police are offered a great deal of leeway in their activities,
often blockading large sections of the city and causing great amounts of
property damage in the course of fulfilling their duty. Despite their
dedication to their jobs, however, the citizens of Megatokyo tend to dislike
and distrust members of the AD Police, seeing them as corrupt and
ineffectual.
The AD in AD Police is short for Advanced, not Armored Division, as some
fans claim.

- Bubblegum Crash! #1-3
