History of CCPD
Central City Police Department has both ally and opponent of Flash, the superhero long-established in Central City.
Allen Murder
Darryl Frye is Captain of the Central City Police. He has seen the Crime Lab division decline over the years from the best the Mid West had to offer, to a department mired in wrongful convictions and budget cuts. Frye became the legal guardian to Barry Allen after his mother was killed and his father was put in prison. There is a possibility that Frye had a relationship with Barry's mother.
Barry Allen
While still a senior at college, Barry helped the authorities apprehend a bank robber, and he was offered a job as a police scientist for the Central City Police Department Scientific Detection Bureau. One night during an electrical storm at the Crime Lab, Barry returned to an experiment after a short break. All of a sudden, a bolt of lightning streaked through the window, knocked him over, and smashed down certain chemicals, giving him a bath in them. This accident gave Barry his powers of Super-speed which he later went on to fight crime as the Flash.
