Shanghai Municipal Police

A former czarist officer who switched sides to back the Bolsheviks, joined the GRU, and was then quietly turned into a double agent by the British.

And his handler was a legendary colonial lawman, an Irish-born chief detective inspector of the Shanghai Municipal Police named Pat Givens.

That's a great detail.

Yeah.

And the body which has to deal with those assassinations is the so-called...

It's called the Shanghai Municipal Police, which is an international police force.

It's largely run by the British, but the Americans are also the imperialists in the Shanghai International Settlement.

They're members of it.
