PRT
The Parahuman Response Team is a paramilitary organization that also encompasses police and/or emergency functions. They are trained to deal with parahumans and the fallout of their actions.
The PRT is dedicated toward law enforcement, akin to SWAT, with a code of justice (the PRTCJ) modeled loosely after the UCMJ. Congress has the power to stipulate the laws governing the PRT. The Executive branch has the power to direct the PRT. The Protectorate, Wards, and Watchdog programs, among others, fall under the umbrella of the PRT. While treated like the military in many respects, the PRT is not explicitly a military organization.
A big focus of the PRT is public relations, with the goal being to shape the public perception of capes. This includes things like giving Protectorate capes tips for interviewing, facilitating safe international travel for heroes in their secret identities, and making sure movies portray parahumans in a positive light, with heroes being invincible and heroic. Furthermore, the PRT tries to keep some of the more extreme feats that parahumans are capable of from leaking to the public, for fear of the knowledge causing undue distress.
