Judgment (風紀委員 (ジャッジメント) Fūki I'in (Jajjimento)?, lit. "Public Morals Committee Member") is a term used to refer to Academy City's student-based disciplinary committee.[2] They are composed of students of varying grade levels and power, and along with Anti-Skill, they are tasked to maintain peace-and-order within the school system. Judgement members can be recognized by the armbands they wear over their right sleeves, which are green with white stripes and which have a shield symbol.

DutiesEdit

Judgment members

Konori Mii and other members of Judgment.

As most of the city population are students, it is the duty of Judgement to catch those delinquents misusing their powers along with other offenders and protect the students. They can arrest criminals, though only Anti-Skills can formally take them into custody.[3][4]

In the event of a situation that Judgement members cannot handle, their superiors and the city's security forces, the Anti-Skills will take over. Overall, the role of a Judgement officer is more like a part-time civilian patrol officer and are often used in community services, such as cleaning garbage from the streets (when cleaning bots are unavailable), helping locate lost objects, traffic duty, etc.[5]

Their authority is normally limited to their school grounds and districts; a Judgment member of another branch can request the Judgement branch that has control of an area to temporarily extend their jurisdiction in that area; also, they can only use their authority outside when ordered to by their superiors or in cases of emergency.[6][7]

Moreover, it is also their duty to keep watch of Anti-Skill, and vice-versa. It is a check-and-balance system that should prevent internal corruption in the two organizations.[8]

OrganizationEdit

Joining Judgement's ranks requirement is only being an Academy City student, though it is unknown what the minimum age required is, as elementary students are allowed to join the ranks. Also, recruits need to pass 13 kinds of tryouts and training (which includes going to Judgement Training Center to train) lasting for 4 months, and sign 9 contracts, before formally becoming a member of Judgment[9].

Younger members of Judgement are partnered with older members to patrol the city, though when one reaches a certain age, a member is allowed to patrol alone or form partners with other members of the same branch[10]. During large-scale operations, several members of Judgement of the same branch can form a group for patrols.[11]

There are at least 177 currently known Judgement branches in Academy City, each branch has its own captain; Konori Mii is currently the head of Judgement 177 Branch Office.[12]

AbilitiesEdit

Other than the unique abilities of each individual, members of Judgment are trained on how to apply first aid. They are also probably trained in basic emergency situation responses, as well as basic physical training.[13]

EquipmentEdit

ClothingEdit

All members of Judgement are required to wear their armband, which bears the Judgement symbol, during operations; however, they can also keep it hidden, when they want to be discreet and don't want to draw attention to themselves.[14]

Safety gearEdit

They can also utilize Anti-Skill's riot shields, as well as helmets.[15][16]

Other equipmentEdit

Judgement members are equipped with handcuffs that are used for restraining criminals.[17] They can also use signal flares, as to clear an area of civilians.[18] Judgement also has access to a variety of equipment in analyzing a crime scene.[19]
