The whole matter was much more important than merely one politician's reelection. If Suzy Britton succeeded she could move high in national politics. If she failed, it would be the final nail to the coffin of several initiatives.
There were two problems, somewhat connected. One was that the tide was turning in the culture. DEI was no longer a key to winning elections and gaining money. Increasingly it was becoming the boogeyman and scapegoat. Second problem was that increasing drive to hire women in police has gathered some humiliating results. Videos ran over the Internet where multiple female police officers struggled to stop a strong male criminals. Whether it was representative for female police officers as a whole was irrelevant - public perception was very negative and that was enough to motivate politicians to act and change something.
That pilot was the last hope. It became apparent that, if women are in police force they should be used in cases including other women or they shouldn't have lowered physical standards for admission. FUTA squad decided to do both. There were after all some women who had parts of male anatomy... In that world there was a sizeable group of them even. Women with cocks and strength on par of that of men. They were supposed to be the main target of the recruitment for the new unit. While they made up around a quarter of female population, that fact wasn't commonly known as they usually didn't want to be treated any differently than other women and they rarely told anyone.
As such the police force couldn't make it known who exactly they were looking for. Any bad PR of past initiatives would then continue into the new one. As such the task force was designed to police matters exclusively related to women... And therefore also Futas. That however raised another challenge.
Among many more male traits, Futas were often interested sexually in other women and had a very strong libido. As such the force couldn't be entirely made up of Futas... As it could lead to unintended consequences. As such, around half of the squad was supposed to be women who could serve as a safety valve for the Futa lust.
Riko and Malai were intended for that role and they were specifically selected for it. Just as Futas were selected based on hidden criteria that were detected based on the medical checkup, the female part of the squad were secretly tested for the right qualities.
As such, it should be no surprise that both girls will work closely together but their main contacts would both be Futas. A fact that they would become aware of much faster than anyone could have thought.
The door were opened by a Black
woman that didn't look much older than Riko. She invited her future protégé inside, to come with her and sit opposite the White woman behind the desk, obviously their direct supervisor.
She was nearly twice Riko's age but one would never see it due to her relatively youthful appearance... But her experience was visible in the way she carried herself, it was visible in her eyes, on her face.
"You must be Riko. Come inside, sit with us. We were just discussing you. By the way, I'm Jane..."
Said the woman who opened the door for her who now extended her hand to greet her. No matter what the Asian policewoman did, she would be led to the desk, where the older woman would do the same thing before telling them to sit down.
"It's great to meet you, Riko. My name's Kate Finley and that's senior officer Jane Smith. She will be your partner in learning how everything operates in our unit. You would form a squad of three with yet another new hire, Malai Bunnag. I have been told she graduated from the same academy as you so you might already be familiar with her... But either way, now that greetings are covered and before I give a rundown of rules and give you the first assignment... Maybe you want to ask some questions?"
She said as she smiled in a welcoming manner.
