Minor Nitpick: you might want to go with GCPD inside of GPD. One, it's how
they do it in the comics (but you're using BTAS rather than the comics, so
that really isn't that good of a reason) and two, four letters is generally
how one abbreviates police department names, for some reason. Think about it:
on the news, they always refer to NYPD and LAPD by the initials, but when
it's
a city with just one name, like Chicago, they don't say CPD, they just say
"the Chicago Police."

Except in Tokyo, of course, where the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department
is known as the MPD.
