Hello everyone! How are you? We are the Miko Police Department, the second police group that came out right after the LPD, aka Local Police Department. There was a time in our unrecorded history when we were part of LPD as a joke, or so some people stated. Some say we were created as a joke back then when part of the Local Police Department, and others say MPD was created to expand the LPD community to allow Quest users to join. The history is odd, if you ask me. Anyway, we are back. Come join us at https://t.co/a1CoOtm5xS. Someone took our rightful name on Discord, which would have been MPD.
organized, and respectful environment for everyone who joins.
Thank you to those who still believe in us. We have a lot to prove, and we are ready to start proving it.
We know MPD’s reputation has not always been the best, and we understand that there have been a lot of issues in the past.
But we are not here to hide from that. We are here to improve, rebuild, and show that we can do better moving forward.
Right now, MPD is focusing on PC support first. Quest support may come later down the road, but for now our main priority is making sure the PC side is properly built, stable, and ready.
MPD is also now an 18+ community, and we are working toward creating a more mature,
The silence was never the end.
MPD is still here.
Still watching.
Still preparing.
New faces will be needed soon.
Stay close to the radio.

MIKO POLICE DEPARTMENT (MPD)
A Message from the Owner – FumikoEcho
I didn’t found the Miko Police Department. But on August 1st, 2023, I became its owner and rights holder after purchasing it from one of its original founders—Bun Bun, also known as Kindred Spirit. Since then, I’ve carried its legacy forward with fire in my heart.
There have been ups and downs. People came and went. There were moments where it felt like the walls were crumbling… where hope was thin, and keeping the community alive seemed like an impossible task. But I’ve always stood firm.
Why?
Because I care. Because this community, this department—it means something. MPD isn’t just a VRChat group or a roleplay team. It’s a place where people find belonging. It’s a family. A mission. A symbol of what we can achieve when we stand together.
I’ve rebuilt MPD from the ground up more than once. I’ve seen it fall. I’ve seen people try to break it, tear it down, or turn their backs. But each time, I came back. Stronger. Wiser. More determined.
And if it ever falls again?
Then I will rebuild it again.
As long as I still draw breath.
I’m not here for a moment. I’m here for the long haul. I didn’t inherit a throne—I took on a responsibility. And with every event, every patrol, every training, and every connection we build—I carry MPD’s spirit forward.
To all my officers, to all the recruits, supporters, and future leaders of the Miko Police Department—know this:
We don’t give up. We rise. We rebuild. We protect. We evolve.
This is MPD. And we’re just getting started. 💙

The Rise, Fall, and Revival of the Miko Police Department (MPD)
Origins and Founding (2019)
The Miko Police Department (MPD) was established in November 2019 as VRChat’s second-ever police roleplay group, following the Loli Police Department (LPD). Its name, “Miko Police,” originated from a set of custom police avatars created by Sarma, the original founder of LPD. From the outset, MPD’s role was to foster creativity, community engagement, and structured law enforcement-themed roleplay within the VRChat world.
Notably, MPD was the first VRChat police group to support Oculus Quest users, making it more accessible than its predecessor, which was PC-only. This inclusivity helped MPD quickly attract members and build a reputation as a welcoming and imaginative law enforcement roleplay community in VRChat.
Rebranding as the United Police Department (2020)
In early 2020, MPD underwent significant leadership changes. January 2020 saw the appointment of Mr. Tan as MPD’s first Chief of Police, but he resigned shortly afterward, passing leadership to Bunbun (also known as Kindred Spirits). Under new leadership, the group sought a broader appeal and, in March 2020, MPD rebranded as the United Police Department (UPD).
The rebranding signified a shift from using exclusively “Miko” style avatars to allowing a diverse range of avatars in the force. This change allowed for more community involvement and led UPD to become one of the largest police roleplay groups in VRChat, rivaling LPD.
Expansion and Early Challenges (2020–2021)
Through 2020, UPD thrived, organizing patrols, investigations, and SWAT training sessions. However, by mid-2021, leadership fatigue set in. July 23, 2021, marked the shutdown of official roleplay operations due to declining participation and organizer burnout. Leadership transferred to Upliftedkid (UpliftedMax), but attempts to revive the group saw little success, leaving UPD largely dormant.
Fragmentation and Conflict (2022–2023)
In 2022, the community split into rival factions. The “Miko Police Department” name was revived under a newcomer, Monfire, leading to a schism between MPD and UPD. However, internal issues and leadership struggles within MPD caused dissatisfaction. By December 2023, a major confrontation erupted between the factions, causing mass confusion and infighting, pushing MPD toward collapse.
Revival and Resurgence (2023–Present)
Sensing the need for unification and stable leadership, FumikoEcho stepped forward to revive the Miko Police Department. In August 2023, FumikoEcho officially acquired the rights to the MPD name, logo, and assets, consolidating the splintered factions back into a single organization.
Under FumikoEcho’s guidance, MPD regained stability. Fresh leadership, new avatars, and updated assets helped reestablish its credibility. By late 2023 and into 2024, MPD had successfully rebuilt its reputation, ranking among VRChat’s leading law enforcement roleplay groups.
Conclusion
Today, the MPD stands as a testament to resilience. From its founding in 2019, through expansion, rebranding, turmoil, and rebirth, the department’s journey illustrates how a passionate community can overcome internal strife. The Miko Police Department’s revival is an inspiring story of perseverance and unity, proving that even after being forgotten, a legacy can be reclaimed and strengthened.

Hello! everyone!! Miko Police Department (MPD) From VRChat we have updated our VRChat Legends wiki page https://t.co/r9Ll4SmrA4 go check it out #VRChat#MPD#Police#history#MIKO
🚨 Looking for a Volunteer Builder! 🚔
Hey everyone! FumikoEcho here (or just Fumi to some of the big names in the VRChat community 😉). I’m searching for a skilled builder to help recreate the original MPD station in Blender and port it into Unity for VRChat!
For those unfamiliar with MPD ( @MikoPolice ), we are one of the OG police RP groups in VRChat, founded shortly after LPD ( @LPD_vrchat ). In fact, MPD was the second-ever police roleplay group in VRChat and was originally part of LPD before branching off into its own force. Over time, our name faded into the void, especially after MPD was rebranded as UPD ( @UnitedPoliceVR ) in 2020.
However, on August 1, 2023, I officially purchased the MPD rights for $635.91 CAD, investing over $1,000 CAD in total to preserve its legacy. Much of MPD’s history has been buried over the years, but I am bringing it back to life.
🔹 What I Need:
✔ Recreate the original MPD station in Blender
✔ Port and set it up in Unity for VRChat integration
✔ Send me the Unity package so I can add final details
The MPD community has already been rebuilt, but now I need a talented builder to help restore our iconic station and bring back a piece of VRChat history!
If you’re skilled in Blender + Unity and want to be part of this revival, DM me! Let’s make MPD legendary again. 🚔🔥
