The Sleep Police

"'I know what it's like to not get enough sleep so that's why I want you to go to bed now.' -- The Sleep Police Slogan"

Overview
Notable engagements of the Sleep Police include tracking the fugitive Lopsy to Belgium after the The Trébuchet Incident of 2020. The Sleep Police, officially known as the Happy Airlines Sleep Police, is the paramilitary branch of the Happy Airlines Security Department, specializing in operations requiring the tranquilizing and/or neutralizing of individuals suspected of violating the Hamter Code. Unlike most other branches of the HASD, which are under supervision of the Vice President, the Sleep Police report directly to Max, the head of the Happy Airlines Board of Directors. The current chief of the Sleep Police is Sunday, who succeeded the position following the retirement of Henry Pikachu. Contrary to popular belief, the Sleep Police is not a proper police force, and in most situations, operates via more clandestine approaches. Historically, the Sleep Police originated in 1979 following the Great Sleep Epidemic. Authorized under the Sleep Protection Act, the Sleep Police was formed as the National Sleep Police Agency, a temporary task force for the United Democracy of Great States created to combat the growing threat of the VT-4 infection. Following an attempted coup and subsequent dissolution by the Union Senate, Pikachu, the then head of the NSPA, as well as his followers fled to the Swiss Confederacy. The group acted as a private military company until 2017 when permanently contracted by Happy Airlines to serve as a policing unit. In response to the Trébuchet Incident of 2020, the Sleep Police received a significant increase in funding, as well as more power within the company to conduct investigations. While many have voiced concerns over the growing presence of the Sleep Police, the CEO of Happy Airlines has insisted that no powers will be granted that will directly interfere with its employees' lives.
