LVPD

Following his graduation from college in 1959, Hunter joined the Las Vegas Police Department as a patrolman. He became a detective in 1962, initially working the Traffic desk. After a brief stint at Homicide 1965-1966 he was transferred to Administrative Vice under Captain Conrad Klein, where he remained until the Yellow King Incident of 1972.

Whilst at the Ad Vice Hunter got a shady reputation for corruption and drug abuse, but consistently had one of the highest clearance rates in the department.

 Yellow King Incident and joining Delta Green 

Hunter was assigned to a special detail assembled to investigate the murder of a Las Vegas criminal kingpin in late 1972. In conjunction with FBI agents Richard van der Cock, Reece D'eau, Dr. Enoch Farrier and Richard Johnson and LVPD patrolman Randy Bukowski. After finding evidence of a cult worshipping a figure known only as "The Yellow King", the detail traced the murder back to an abandoned housing project on the outskirts of the Mojave. There they were confronted by mysterious eldritch creatures and maddening visions. Hunter himself narrowly avoided insanity after being confronted with hallucinations of his estranged mother.

Following the incident, the entire detail (with the exception of Johnson) were conscripted into Delta Green, the top secret quasi-government department designed to investigate such mysteries.
