The '''''Peacemaker''''' PoliceMech is an [[IndustrialMech]] which was created to serve the same law enforcement market that would buy the ''[[Copper]]''. The design's origin can be traced to the [[Star League Era]] ''Peacekeeper'' [[SecurityMech]], after which the ''Peacemaker'' and the earlier ''Copper'' would be based on. The design first came about when [[Irian Technologies]] negotiated the license for the original ''Peacekeeper'' from [[Coventry Metal Works]]. Reworking the ancient design, IrTech would gear it to be better suited for urban law enforcement tasks, with the ''Peacemaker'' making its debut in [[3070]].

One of its best known actions was when it was used by the [[Atreus City Police Department]]'s [[Mounted Response Unit]] to maintain a quarantine cordon against the [[1st Knights of the Inner Sphere|First Knights of the Inner Sphere]] during the [[Word of Blake]]'s chemical attack on [[Atreus (FWL)|Atreus]] in the early years of the [[Jihad]].<ref>''Jihad Turning Points: Atreus'', pp. 6–7</ref> The ''Peacemaker'' has also been used by various insurgent and criminal groups across the [[Inner Sphere]], and although it's no match for a [[BattleMech]], the ''Peacemaker''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[BattleMech taser]] can easily shut down an enemy unit.

As a PoliceMech, the ''Peacemaker'' isn't armed to face front line forces. The [[machine gun]] and [[SRM-2]] are typically loaded with less-lethal ammunition like rubber bullets and [[tear gas]] rounds to disperse rioters. To protect the ''Peacemaker''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s pilot from the tear gas and other irritants the entire 'Mech has [[environmental sealing]], while a [[searchlight]] in the left torso allows the ''Peacemaker'' to participate in nighttime search and rescue operations.

Though the half-ton of machine gun ammunition and single ton of SRM loads may lead observers to dismiss the ''Peacemaker'', there is one surprise waiting for anyone so foolish: A [[BattleMech taser]] mounted in the right arm. This weapon can cause even the largest assault 'Mech to shut down completely, leaving the MechWarrior stranded and easy prey for SWAT teams or anti-'Mech infantry.
