Regulators

Lead by the sadistic Caleb, the Regulators are a vicious gang that serves as the "police force" of Adytum in Southern California. Nominally under the authority of Adytum's mayor, Jon Zimmerman, they in fact manipulate Zimmerman and control Adytum's affairs, ruling harshly, expropriating a good part of Adytum's industrial wealth for themselves, and enforcing forced labor on Adytum's citizens. To legitimate their authority, they have claimed that the Blades, a survivalist group to the north, are a threat, and frame them for crimes such as the murder of Jon Zimmerman's son.

In the Capital Wasteland, the Regulators are a group of vigilantes, who wear cowboy style hats and dusters and operate out of a farmhouse. If the player has the Lawbringer perk, they can bring them fingers taken from the corpses of evil humans killed by the player, for good karma and 10 caps. The Regulators will also attempt to claim the bounty on the player's head if he or she chooses to detonate the bomb in Megaton.

In Fallout 3 if you play an evil character you will randomly encounter squads of Regulators who try to kill you, attempting to collect a bounty on your head. On them, they have a note named bounty notice: (your name). They appear to travel in squads of 3 and carry Laser Rifles. They all wear Regulator Dusters for armor which have the same stats as Lucas Simms' Sheriff's duster.
