Operation Hawkeye
Operation Hawkeye is classified TOP SECRET and was authorised personally by the previous Home Secretary shortly after the Hephaestus Scandal broke.
Origins
The then Home Secretary (Chastity Woodham, CON) brought up the matter of the genetically modified children with the National Police Commissioner. She said that while they were an abomination in the eyes of God there was a duty on us to take care of them to show our compassion for sinners. However, a careful eye should be kept on them, and if the caused trouble they needed to be removed from society immediately.
The result of this was surveillance of known GM people. Any offences that they commited were logged and used against them if they caused any trouble.
The current Home Secretary (Rupert Goodenough, UKIP) is in the coalition government that was elected on the wave of public horror that Hephaestus had got away with things, and had even had the research approved, under the previous government. He took a much more hard-line approach. He directed that it would be appropriate for those confirmed as persistent troublemakers to be taken into preventative detention. In such cases arrest warrants could be issued ‘dead or alive’. Only the Organised Crime & Terrorism Group would deal with these people. A specialist counter GM branch (CT12G) was set up in 2046.
