The Opkerifforse is the official paramilitary of the Alconbria, responsible for providing law enforcement in rural areas and maintaining internal security. It was founded in 1964 following the Battle of Guzmanacamparo. As of 2021, it has over 3,250,000 active personnel tasked in riot control, peace-keeping, border security and providing law-enforcement in the Conquered Territories.
The Opker is divided into two:
- Opker-KS: The official gendarme of Alconbria, engaged in providing law enforcement in rural areas and the Metsarbarros during peacetime, disaster response, riot control, peace-keeping and border security.
- Opker-SPT: The armed wing of the APP, engaged in the suppression of dissent, internal intelligence gathering, counter-terrorism and surveillance.
Beginning from 2010, it began assisting the Border Security Force in counter-terrorism in the conquered territories and in the metsarbarros. The Opker also provides security to parliament members and cabinet ministers. Politicians and important civilians can request a Opker protection while trans-versing through the metsarbarros (normal citizens get the BSF protection). In 2020, the BSF was merged with the Opker-KS.
Along with the other law enforcement agencies of Alconbria, their effectiveness has earned international acclaim, but also criticism that it aides the government's authoritarianism. They are widely regarded as a paramilitary law-enforcement organization. In 2010, following accusations of extrajudicial killings of the minorities, the Opkerifforse's jurisdiction in the metsarbarros was revoked, and given to the Border Security Force, but even as of 2016, there is a heavy Opker presence in the said metsarbarros. A report released by the Human Rights Commission said that the Opker have detained over 2,000 people from 2010, though they are not allowed to by Alconbria's amended laws.
