No Policy is the debut studio EP by the American hardcore punk band State of Alert, the first band to be fronted by Henry Rollins.[2] Consisting of ten tracks, it was recorded at Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, Virginia, produced by Skip Groff and engineered by Inner Ear owner Don Zientara. No Policy was released on Dischord Records in March 1981, as the label's second release.[3][2] No Policy was financed by Rollins, as Dischord was tied up in releasing Minor Threat's debut EP.[4]
