. . . you don't need permission, capitalised or otherwise. The Permission Givers on this board only have jurisdiction over stories which actually use the PPC brandname. Their approval would be decorative at best.
However, it doesn't sound to me like you want to create a spin-off of the PPC -- which is the whole organisation and encompasses many departments -- but of the Department of Mary Sues. I suspect by now you've got the hint that there are plenty of pre-existing departments which would fit the role.
However, if you did mean you want to strike out on your own and create your own fictional police force, which would hopefully have all sorts of wonderful quirks to set it apart from the PPC, don't bother asking here for approval, just go ahead and do it. Stick it to the man, that's what I always say.
(It isn't what I always say. But only for lack of opportunity)
