(Alternate) Fringe Division

The Fringe Division located in the parallel universe. Much like in the prime universe, it is a special-case police force lead by Colonel Philip Broyles that deals with science-related crimes as well as tears and vortexes in space and time. However, unlike the prime Fringe Division, this one is exclusively its own department, and does not consist of members from Homeland Security and the FBI (which doesn't exist in the alternate universe). This Fringe Division reports directly to the United States Department of Defense, and Secretary Walter Bishop.

Tropes associated with the Alternate Fringe Division:

  • The Ace
  • Police Are Useless: Due to the various vortex and tears of space fabric, Fringe Division almost entirely replaced standard police in the alternate world.
