No Policy is the only studio release by the American hardcore punk band State of Alert, the first band to be fronted by Henry Rollins.[2] It was released on 7-inch vinyl in March 1981 through Dischord Records (No. 2).[2] Since Dischord was tied up in releasing Minor Threat's debut extended play, the production of No Policy was entirely funded by Rollins.[3]
