I love the thought that the police force exists in the Creepypasta Universe. Makes it feel more realistic, cops not doing their job correctly and everything. But it also introduces a ton of different situations.
The cops know that whoever goes into the forest never comes back out, and if they do they’re usually missing a piece or three. They understand that fact as well.
That leads to my favorite headcanon. The cop force know and understand the dangers, but instead of trying to get rid of these killers plaguing their towns these cops all of a sudden become useless.
Nobody likes cops, that’s well known. Any looks directed towards a person in a badge can be any combination of emotions. Some hateful, some fearful. But when more and more bloody scenes are found there's a moment, a little whisper within a brutalized community. Maybe… just maybe, they could fight back.
It’s the same thing every time the forest outside of a town becomes a little too quiet when the children that used to play in the trees now stare emptily at the forest that their parents played in as kids. People start putting up more cameras, just to find them broken and smashed. Search parties spend hours to try and find one missing person just to come back with fewer people.
The first warnings are from the cops, well what would be left of them. After years of protecting their community fewer and fewer calls are answered with urgency. Saying “Do it yourself”.
They become more violent, and prone to shooting before asking because who knows which person is innocent and which isn’t? New stations come to bring light on the crumbling society but nothing is put on air.
It’s just silenced chaos.
When the fog clears, nothing is the same anymore. But nobody talks about it again. They say it was gang violence, blaming it on politics or worse. Just for the forest to regain its cheer as if a broken record has been pushed to its limits. The song of birds once so cheerful now stands as a warning to whoever comes in.
