[[Shadowtalk]] term for a law enforcer who pursues a criminal once identified, rather than sticking to one area or dealing with multiple cases. When a true Runner is assigned to a case, they will follow it relentlessly until it is resolved.

==Subcategories==
* ''Licensed Runners'' are those who have the authority (at least under some interpretation of the law) to pursue a foe outside their jurisdiction. These are in the minority, as most Runners are doing so illegally.

* ''Freerunners'' are Runners who do not acknowledge extradition treaties, or limits of jurisdiction. This normally means cops who have followed a perpetrator to other planets, where they have no authority - possibly even breaking local laws to enforce some idea of justice. This term is especially used of [[CBI]] agents, who tend to assume universal dominion (and are often treated as if they have authority even outside the federation)

* ''Sky Runners'', a division of the [[Calibre City|Calibrate]] [[Calibre City/Shaft Patrol Legion|Shaft Patrol]], who can police the whole planet from low orbit, and are responsible for chasing down fugitives who have fled to a different city district.
