Tweaked and Revised for "Hardcore RP" (WIP)

Police Guide!

Ranks and their Duties:
Besides the already standing RP Rules
Chiefs and higher may be allowed to grant permission to carry out the search/strip of a player when arrested and processed.
Deputies should be allowed to call for the search of a players home when through the laws, the opportunity comes.
Captains are self explanatory.

IF THERE ARE NO OFFICERS OF RANK ON THE SERVER DO NOT ASSUME YOU CAN CARRY OUT THEIR DUTIES!!
Remember, only police captains may call a police raid.
player searches and player home searches are fair game until a change is made in the rules.

Clothing: MUST WEAR ALL (You are Roleplaying, So Look the part)
Police Hat
Police Top
Police Vest
Police Bottom

Regular Police wearing Spec ops will be arrested for impersonation. (Swat uniform or Higher rank Uniform)
ONLY Swat or higher ranking pandahut police rank may wear:
Spec ops top
spec ops bottom
spec ops vest
Spec ops beret


Before acting upon anything, permissions must be asked through the radio to higher ranking officers if they are any on. (Roleplay!!!!)

Only Officers of Rank (Chief,Deputy,Captain) can call for the searching of an individual/with warrant. (Roleplaying again)
Deputies can give other officers warrants to search a base. (Searching IS NOT RAIDING)

Searching a base: THIS IS NOT A RAID
Recomended 3 officer's, 2 for back-up, 1 to actively search the base.
Searching does not mean breaking and entering, destroying lockers or storage units.
Owner of base MUST be online
If a player refuses for his base to be searched, constitutes as reason to Police Raid-(Go to a Captain)(Roleplay man!!!)

Searching/Stripping an ARRESTED player:
Player must already be arrested and taken to a proper facility in order to process.
Stripping/Searching a player in the open can cause "vultures" to steal items.
Player must atleast be in a holding cell in order to be stripped/searched.


Police and Kidnappers:
DO NOT CALL RESCUE RIGHT AWAY, You're an officer of the law, act the part. (Roleplay, act it out)
Check with higher ranking officers about procedures, or organize yourselves as a unit before negotiation/rescue.
Develop tactics and carry them out.
MUST Advise and TELL civilians to back away from the kidnapping situation. (reccomended to, bc then theyll die in crossfire, call kos, etc...and then a simple kidnapping sit turned into an incorrect mod sit)

Fines?
Speeding in seattle: 200
Reckless driving: 200
(please comment on what else fines should/could exist for)

Kidnapping a player (10 mins jail time)
Robbing a player (10 mins jail time)
Placing a hit (5 mins jail time)
Pursuing a hit (10 mins jail time) adds on with murder so hitman kills hit = 25 minutes of jailtime

100 bamboo every minute eg. 7 minutes in jail 700 bail. Max bail is 6000, even if time exceeds an hour.
Once imprisoned IF the criminal is to be stripped/searched, all non illegal items are to be returned to the player.
Meaning take all weapons/illegals, illegals are to be taken(time added).Licensed weapons are to be returned after /arrestover.



Police Raid:
Only able to be announced by a Captain.
Can only be called if sufficient evidence of illegal activities and items IN base. (usually after a Search)
ONLY OFFICERS HIRED BY CAPTAIN CAN ASSIST IN RAID!!!


Tips and Tricks:
Always be in a pair to minimize casualties during a resisted arrest.
Never leave a cellmate alone.
Always keep doors closed in a prison or station to minimize unwanted foot traffic.
Obey your police hierarchy! They only want to help improve your time as a cop!
If person resisting arrest is shot and killed, their Total Earned Jail Time is reset.
Leaving someone cuffed after a search is seen as corrupt. So make sure to unhandcuff.
Per last rule - NO ZIPTIES.
Ignore Police Baiting and report it to a mod as it is FAIL RP.
It is FAIL RP for the cellmate to teleport (in or out).
Never arrest someone within big groups.
Remember, WHEN IN SEATTLE, Bandits tend to act in groups, You WILL be SHOT if arresting another bandit alone. Arrest as a unit.

Respect Pandahut Rank above all else, Group ranks come second to this.



ANY AND ALL JAIL CELLS MUST BE DESTRUCTABLE SO BANDITS CAN BREAK OTHER BANDITS OUT


Best Way To Securely and Safely Arrest a player and carry out processing of said player.

3 Arresting officers call arrest.
1st warning to follow instructions/hands up arrest in global chat (can be said by any of the three officers).

Cuffs DIRECTLY after.

Immediate transport to station.

Officer who cuffed + Extra go and bring Crim to jail cell.

Remaining officer watches the main entrance/station.

Officers in Cell, One checks the player for any and all weapons.

Prisoner drops ALL weapons.(If the arrest is for unlicensed weapons, Have a strip search (when given permission by ranked officer) as well. Crim IS STILL CUFFED.

After all illegal items and weapons are taken by the CUFFER. The Officer who cuffed the Crim will uncuff crim.

Extra Officer will have his weapon trained on the Crim.

Have the Crim EAT after collecting illegal items and crim picks up own legal items. (NO WEAPONS ALLOWED ON CRIM)

Hands up, Cuff the Crim.

NOW you calculate the time. Calculate Bail using the guide.

Start the time, Extra officer goes outside to where the third officer was and they both guard the Crim/Station.

THE OFFICER WHO CUFFED THE CRIM stays in Jail cell with the Crim, and watches the Crim for attempt escapes, communications, etc. This officer may leave the jail cell ofcourse if the time for the crim is more than 5 minutes, and they may patrol the station together.

Please comment and voice your suggestions, concerns, changes, edits, etc.

Please call out typos and such as well!!

If you are an officer of rank and another officer disobeys a direct order, pm a mod reporting the player, mod will then investigate. and punish if the fail rp or incorrect cop persists. Remember, keep the RP flowing.

Now if an officer is obviously acting corruptly, take the in-game actions as officers of the law and carry out the law.

Nice guide, but not sure I agree on needing a ranked officer to strip search an arrested player. It's one thing for a warrant to search someone thought to have illegal items, but if he's been arrested for a crime and is already in a cell it's just unnecessary to get a warrant to search him. Especially if it's known he had drugs/unlicensed guns/explosives on him.

Also, might be a good idea to suggest splitting bail between arresting officers. From what I've seen it's not really being shared at all, mostly going to a few with access to secure cells.

Change the Rank names to something that makes sense.

Police officer--Police officer
Chief-------------Sergeant
deputy-----------Captain
captain-----------Major

SWAT is SWAT

Perhaps add one more police rank. That being the Chief. Not applied for but voted for,
Similar in strength to that of a Mayor, except The CHIEF is head of Police, and Mayor is the head of all citizens.

The "guide" states that if a ranked officer is not online then any officer can search the player, upon arresting them ofcourse. If a Ranked officer is in fact online, I wouldn't understand why you would not be already communicating with them.
In role-play id mention to my superior officer that I am going to do a certain action, if that officer were to tell me not to, it would be against my oath to disobey that officer.

Thank you for bringing up the splitting of bail.

Currently in the rules, bail is not mentioned anywhere, nor is a splitting of bail.

It is my personal opinion that bail money is meant to be split amongst those who called the arrest. OR paid to the ranked officer that hired you.
This way, you may receive payment for your services.

An officer shouldn't have to run every action by their superior unless it's really necessary. I understand wanting to make the ranks more useful, but this one doesn't make any sense. Just making it a hassle for both sides.

Jerry Pointed out that the Donator Reg Police kit
Has a higher quality kits than the Chief Kit

VIP Police Kits are fine, but the fact that donators when becoming Chiefs/deputies/captains cant use their police kits is silly.

Also, the change between Chief and Deputy is fine but the large gap in gear between Captains and Deputies is absurd. the addition of having Spec ops Clothing also separates the ranks more.

the SWAT role makes sense in its current state but the captain kit when compared to the two ranks below it, dwarfs the other two ranks.

The Captain is essentially SWAT but with the power to give commands and call raids.

Id suggest changing the hats for the Ranks, Perhaps a Forest Beret for Chief, a Russian Military Beret for Deputy, and a Desert Beret for Captain.

Weapon wise, Chief has Eagle, Deputy has Heart, and Captain has maplestrike.

All ranks should wear standard uniform with rank defining hats.

Bump.
Please everyone, take a look and comment any ideas comments!
