Lifestyle: 
The police take up the aggressive roles of the camp. They patrol the perimeters, deal with hostiles and conduct scavenging missions. Occasionally they'll be accompanied by a specialist who needs a specific piece of equipment (Doctor, mechanic etc). Civilians maintain the camp, trade with any passers by, repair and maintain any damaged vehicles, educate and train the children and any newcomers. Everyone in the camp does whatever job they feel they are most suited to. Anyone who doesn't pull their weight and earn their keep is given a warning. Failure to change behaviour after said warning leads to exile from the group. 

History of you colony: 
Back when shit first hit the fan, the military and local law enforcement were ordered to set up a quarantine station in the school to process evacuated civilians. As the situation in the USA got worse, the military assisting the police left to protect what the government deemed to be essential targets. Eventually the people left in charge of the school, overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of refugees that, decided that they could no longer cope. At this time, around 70 police officers were responsible for around between 300-1000 refugees being processed daily. They tried to radio for further assistance but it never arrived. Eventually they were forced to turn people away, sometimes using force on those that tried to climb the fences. Those that couldn't get inside set up camp outside the school perimeter. The dead, as relentless as ever, arrived at the school and slaughtered the camping refugees. Suicide rates in the school sky rocketed as they desperately tried to hold off the growing numbers of the dead. Many civilians, who previously arrived here for safety and security, now found themselves trying to escape their compound, only to join the ranks of the dead outside. Those that remained faced a power struggle amongst those inside. There were those that supported the decision to close the gates against those that were against it, and a bloody civil war raged inside. The numbers inside the camp plummeted and a truce was decided amongst the fighting parties. Thankfully, the gates held and most of the dead moved on deeper into the city, a welcome relief for those in the school. Those that remained are what's left of the camp today with a total of 90% of the schools population wiped out in the first few weeks of the outbreak. Eventually the group started to organise scavenging raids into the city for survivors and supplies, but all they could find was the supplies. The group aren't afraid to make tough decisions, and always put themselves before outsiders. Their experiences, what they have seen and done, have somewhat dehumanised them. This makes them unpredictable, therefore dangerous. The values that those in uniform used to stand for no longer apply to the officers in the group.
