The Inter-Dimensional Police Department, or IDPD, is a subdivision of the International Police unique to the Lillifuture. Utilising technology provided by an unseen benefactor, their mission is to apprehend or eliminate individuals whom they consider a threat to not only their own timeline, but to other universes as well. As such, their officers are equipped with poorly-understood technology, which they use to jump to other universes and confront whatever threats they find there. The IDPD has three main branches:

• The IDPD (Inter-Dimensional Police Department), the titular main branch responsible for handling threats originating from other dimensions or universes.
• The ITPD (Inter-Temporal Police Department), responsible for handling threats originating from other time periods.
• The ISPD (Inter-Spacial Police Department), who investigate Fallers, Ultra Wormholes, and help stabilise travel for the other two branches. Whereas most IDPD and ITPD officers are field agents, most ISPD officers are support staff.

All three departments are under the command of Director Shun Hontou.

Though the IDPD are highly advanced by the standards of their time, their jurisdiction has its limitations. Travel between time and space is an extremely costly affair, even considering their advances, and given the highly sensitive nature of their mission they make every effort to keep their existence on the down-low. Even the simplest assignment can run up huge logistical costs, which on top of both hindering their effectiveness and contributing to their reputation as a money sink, makes them reluctant to try and alter the course of events outside of targeting select individuals.

Scientists from the ISPD are constantly trying to expand the area in which IDPD officers can operate, but their efforts have consistently met with failure - and considering their limited funding, seem likely to continue doing so. IDPD officers can only interfere in universes or timelines where the point of divergence was only a few decades away, and even then such missions place the agents involved at extreme risk, when a large temporal or spacial difference opens up an even larger margin of error.
