Despite its main office being located within the Presidium Embassies, the C-Sec Academy itself is located within the Lower Wards, partly due to the high crime rates in that area of the Citadel. The Academy houses a traffic control station, a C-Sec Requisitions Officer who sells specialist gear to privileged individuals, and an elevator to a private docking bay. The Academy is the main headquarters for the nearly 200,000 officers that are responsible for maintaining the peace and stability on the Citadel.
