I'm here to talk about some new ideas for the police. So i come from Arma 3 RP , the police system is a lot different, so i thought to bring those ideas in along with other ideas into this server.
First off i want to point out from playing in the server and from what I've heard , Police don't seem to care about their lives as much as they should be doing , they don't need to worry about guns nor armor , they don't need to worry about having their cars stolen, as in most situations where cruisers have been stolen or even a helicopter all they have to do is despawn it and spawn theirs back in. I've had it happen to me where i'm riding in a cruiser and it just despawns. It just gets the ridiculous on what the police get away with. Now i'm not saying ALL the police are corrupt or don't care about their lives, i believe having these features implemented would change how the police act , along with how they are treated , this is what causes gangs to just go after police, as they tend to make dumb choices or risks that we would never rarely do as a civilian as there would be a COST to make such a choice.
Now i wanted to suggest some ideas which would be useful for the server to make sure the police are role playing to the standards as we are , and the police should care about the decisions they make on the field , now back to the ideas:
Buying Weapons.
Removing the ability to despawn their Vehicle.
Having weapons for certain ranks.
Buying Weapons
This is a big thing for the police, as i feel as us civilians have to make big choices on how we use our pistols and heavy weapons. I believe that since we have to spend good money to get our hands on these guns, why not have it the same way for the police as it was in arma 3 rp where if you wanted heavy guns you needed to be able to actually buy them but the prices would be half our price or some what like that, however you were only able to buy a certain weapon depending on your rank, which ill get into later on. I think this is the major thing that should be implemented as when we spend money on heavy guns we need to be careful as hell, if we mess up we completely miss out and lose the gun just like that, spending most likely 30k on it with 100 bullets with the way prices are like now as there are no warehouses. Whereas the police don't need to worry about it at all as they have it spawned in as we cant loot it. So if this was to come in i think we should be able to loot the police just like we can be looted this was also in arma 3 where you needed to make sure your bringing the right equipment to the right situation otherwise your giving it away to the people you are against. Honestly this should be needed cause we believe that only looting a pistol or a radio is just awful if we kill someone that has a carbine we could be able to loot that and take it as ours until it has no longer any use to us. Along with that i'm not sure how much the police carry in ammo but they should be spending the expenses that we go through just to have 100 bullets for a heavy gun but perhaps the ammo is brought down a bit more. Otherwise with the salaries they get would be spent on is cars and houses , getting guns like that doesn't just come free it should always be coming at a COST bringing those types of weaponry to the streets , and as i had mentioned we should be able to loot the police for what high tier guns they bring to the streets , it shouldn't just disappear.
Removing The Ability To Despawn Their Vehicle
Having this even as a command for the police to do is ridiculous, if you have your police vehicle stolen it should be dealt with the same way we have to deal with it, not just to randomly spawn your vehicle. The amount of times I've had this happen to my friends having the cruiser despawn on them while driving is dumb their was this one time with a helicopter that had happened and everyone fell out the helicopter just to fall to their death. If we have to go through having to hunt down for our cars down, the police should do the same maybe if its destroyed they don't have to wait for a timer but the fact they can just do that as a whole is ridiculous.
Having Weapons For Certain Ranks
I'm not sure on what all the ranks are as i'm not too into the police. However as a cadet they can just start of plain with a Pistol and a taser. With an officer i believe they should have a shotgun with a pistol and possibly a smg. Then a chief should be getting a carbine rifle. Then finally swat should be getting the marksmen rifle added onto what guns they can buy from the other ranks , now im not sure whats guns they 100% have , but i'm sure they have some sort of sniper that one shots , along with that ridiculous one shot stall pistol they have , as they are swat after all this equipment they have is meant to be the heavy duty side of the police. However I've been told that police carry more than one primary gun , so it should be that they can only carry one primary and one secondary gun. otherwise it would be overpowered having the chiefs and swats with a arsenal amount of weapons constantly on them. I'm not sure what you guys have set up for the ranks but this should be implemented with the 1 primary and 1 secondary rule.
