Public Safety Council

The Public Safety Council was an authority with judicial powers in Britain in 2050.

After Inspector Drake used Orthrus to frame K9 for an attack on him, he sought and received a warrant for K9's arrest from the Public Safety Council. June Turner subsequently convinced the Council to rescind the warrant, after demonstrating that Project Orthrus was unauthorized. (K9TV: Jaws of Orthrus)

Behind the scenes
Drake getting a warrant from the Public Safety Council is a rare example of apparent constitutional constraints on The Department, which otherwise appears to have dictatorial powers.
