History
Before Oliver Queen returned to Starling City to take on the role of "The Hood", it was in a crime-infested state; the police were spread so thin they could barely deal with it. When Oliver began his mission as the green-hooded vigilante archer, he got the attention of the police. In season 2, now known as "The Arrow", Oliver is on the Police Department's most-wanted list. After Captain Quentin Lance disbanded the Anti-Vigilante task force, the Department become the Arrow's ally.
However, after the Arrow was framed by League of Assassins for their crimes, Quentin reinstated the Anti-Vigilante task force, becoming the Arrow's enemy again, however, thinks to the efforts of Roy Harper, took the blame of being the Arrow exonerate Oliver of the league's crimes and faked his own death, all members of the police department (excluding Quentin) believes the Arrow is dead.
During the 6 months Oliver was retired from his life as a vigilante, the Starling City Police Department was renamed to the Star City Police Department.
The rise of corruption inside of the Star City Police Department forces Mayor Queen to create an Anti-Crime Unit to deal with the corruption inside and outside of the organization.
