Events need to be more specific information wise as far as whats allowed and isn't allowed.
For instance this treasure hunt one done today. A lot of people knew coordinates were involved but figured using an outside source would result in a rule break of Metagaming. Even when attempting to make sure it was okay or how to go about using the coordinates, responses weren't present at all.
The events need to be planned better or need to be more specific when it comes to rules/instructions.
Another thing that should happen is in the server guides - a list of allowed out-sourcing should be available. Such as maps on the internet with coordinates. (im sure theres other things outsourced from time to time) -
@Pegasus_ your able to jump right over even with a package, I have done it.

Okay so this property used to be owned by Wanted, Triads, Zetas, and Rooks......the gates have ALWAYS been there and not once has anything ever been said about it.

@Azphelle So I think you misunderstand RWT. RWT is Real World Trading, such as trading your cash for money via paypal or whatever.
Also most people who decide to start over ask for the transfer due to that stuff is monitored and bannable.-

A meeting was had with the Aztecas regarding the Latin Community as a whole
They spoke of running under one flag and making the Latin Community bigger
Something the Latin Kings wanted
Latin Kings have also had some stuff occur recently that doesn't sit well with them
They tried being neutral to all and doing things the right way
But it seems some people just want WAR and nothing else
Latin Kings may just take Aztecas up on the offer-

I don't know if this is even possible but figured I would suggest it with everything going on within the server between the gangs.
Currently as anyone knows, almost every single car color is being used by gangs. Some gangs enforce people not using the color, others do not. However, I do know that in normal GTA V Online, you can create a crew via Rockstar Social Club and create an emblem for your crew. That emblem can then be imported onto your cars in various places along with onto clothes.
I know the next thing someone says is that, whats stopping someone from importing that emblem onto their car when they aren't in that gang. Again don't know if its possible but what if its tied to your F4 faction. Obviously this would limit the emblem use to those who are official but I think overall it would help a lot of people who feel they are being forced to join a gang. I have met a few people since making my gang that have felt they are having no choice to join a gang due to they cant even paint their car without being bombarded with questions like, "Hey are you a Zeta?" "You a Triad?". Or other things such as, "May wanna change your car color before Zetas or whoever see, they wont like it". I see it daily.
Again don't know if this is possible but me and another guy spoke about this. Leader of Vory Mafia because currently our two gangs have a car color VERY similar by look but via the catalogue they are completely different. I have had people looking for Vory Mafia approach me and he has had people looking for Latin Kings approach him.-

Latin Kings and Aztecas Finally Meet
Aztecas had already met Wes and Ezekial at the Chili Lab
But sadly the meeting was cut short by what they thought were police
Today Ezekial made a call to roll into their turf and see whats up
Latin Community to Latin Community
Thing about Latin Gangs and communities is we respect our land
We tend to keep it neutral
Little did we know, that was not the plan today
30 minutes into their meet
A WCA falls off their bike and is put at gunpoint by someone in red
Without hesitation, Ezekial ran over
No mask
No cover
And opened fire, knowing it may cause strain between Aztecas and Kings
This was their turf and he just opened fire on it
Raul and Ezekial spoke about it after and Ezekial made it clear he meant no disrespect
Raul understood it was business and it had to be done
10 minutes later, Wanted and other people showed up
The Wanted biker hit a car and fell off
And the process began again
Except this time the target was Mr Jay Gamble
Again without hesitation, Ezekial and his guys laid down fire
Ezekial and his family consider The Council, Aztecas, and WCA family
They have helped when needed and been nothing but respectful
Regardless if they see it that way
Its how Ezekial has drilled it into his family
Protect them like they are our own
Its not about the reward nor the materialistic things
Its about the respect and knowledge that they know they can count on us having their back-

A Meeting is called with our brothers and sisters in green
WCA
Ezekial just paying tribute to The Council is concerned
He was told there would only be one more group asking
Potentially the Rooks but he would refuse if they ask
He doesn't trust people who hide in the shadows
Who cant own up to their gang or colors
Who don't rep their family
Triads, Zetas, Wanted, and WCA
They all have one thing in common
Respect for their gang
They rep it hard and show no fear sayin who they are
Rooks on the other hand
Hide behind a mask and behind stupid names
Names like Acapella and Book Club
This makes Ezekial uneasy
If they cant own up to who they are
Then how do I know they will when they are needed
WCA and Ezekial meet and discuss this current war
The war between The Council and Wanted
Hes told Russians are involved
He informs Andre about him being approached by a Russian by the name of
Artyom
Andre asks what our plan is considering the war
Without hesitation Ezekial informs him we already discussed this
"Fuck Russians"
We will not support people who cant face fights head on
Hiding in government protected areas
Those are bitch tactics
WCA and Latin Kings come to terms
Latin Kings will help whenever called
We protect our friends and family
We may be small but we don't back down-

A Farewell to a Previous King
Upon coming into town one morning he had received the call regarding his brother, Gavriel
Up until receiving the box on his car, he didn't believe it
Now more than ever it was true
Early this morning, he got a phone call from a funeral home in New York
One his family had used for generations
Gavriels body had mysteriously showed up
They wanted to know how it should be handled
The family plot or cremation
Seeing as Gavriel long ago was a Latin King, he thought he deserved the respects
Theres a saying that all past kings when they die are created into stars
Those stars are there to help the new and old kings during hard times
If you look at the stars hard enough and pray for someone who passed
The old kings will do their best to make it happen and show that person to you
Knowing this Ezekial decides to have Gavriel cremated
Spread his ashes by the ocean and let the wind carry him to his new home
He saved some of the ashes for another person though
Waiting to see if they deserve the ashes that remain
RIP - Gavriel Arron-Sullivan

Husband to Cleo Sullivan
Brother to Ezekial Diablo
Ex-Leader of the Yakuza
Ex-Associate of the Rooks
Loyal friend to many
Throwing this in for explanation purposes (will not delve deeper)--
RIP
Gavriel Aaron
Born too soon
Died way too quick
Love you son

Fresh meat approaches
Very knowledgeable individual
Walks right up to Ezekial and says I know who you are
"Amor de Rey?"
Without hesitation Ezekial tells him
"You know our sayin but do you know what it means?"
Wes McLoughlin instantly replies
"Love for the King"
Concept was there and Ezekial knew he needed this man
They went and talked at Ezekials home
Discussed the ranks and expectations
Wes disclosed he was an Ex Outlaw MC
And had prior MC knowledge from Europe
When handed the test, Wes did it with no questions asked
Ezekial knew this man would be a valuable asset
He has knowledge and commitment
Along with knew how to follow orders
Based on his knowledge and hunger
Ezekial made the call, Wes would pass Young Blood
And be the first Soldier for the Los Santos Chapter

Actively recruiting for Hard Workers and Loyal People
We believe in equality and an equal voice
Men or Women
Black, White, Hispanic, whatever
None of that matters
All that matters is your ready to be in a family
And act like such
Look for the Black and Gold cars
All are welcome -
Noticing with the current war going on and the active recruitments of the bigger groups, this is going to become a full time job -- currently trying to expand ranks but as of right now, it seems everyone is scared to join anyone due to the war going on.
They are floating towards the bigger groups due to better protection -

I have made suggestions.
Have said it multiple times, punishments need to be harsher or handled more quickly.
Also PD and SD need to get paid better -

While I don't agree with the original post this topic started with as I believe that's a very petty point, some good points have been made. What we as faction leaders, in my case SD, do is take these on board and see where we can improve the general enjoyment for police roleplay. Reading this topic though makes everything seem bad which it is not. There are issues on a wider level which need to be addressed and the cases I've read here are not things we or PD encourage or allow. I will go as far as say that most of these interactions described in this topic were interactions with lower level members of either department. This is something we work on. I can say this for SD and I am sure PD does the same but we are constantly correcting such behaviour when we see it or are told about it. I take these things seriously, going as far as driving to a known gang and asking their leader if it was true he was arrested for calling one of my deputies an asshole. Neither SD nor PD leadership gloss over these things and we are keen on correcting the issues and making sure they are not repeated. It is true that PD took a bit of a hit when SD first started as quite a few experienced and strict members left to build SD. However, PD has filled most of the positions with equally as good people. The brunt of the issues does not come from the top, they are at the bottom levels. We see this in SD with trainees and ranks DS1 to DS3. We have made periods between promotions longer in order to give more time for the lower levels to adjust and fully understand what we expect in terms of role play. For the most part, this is working. Some cases do still arise however where we see an issue. You can however trust me that we do not allow such things and do not tolerate them. We talk to deputies and we correct ill behaviour. You have to take into account the progression that happens within SD and PD. Our trainees can not go out by themselves for at least 21 days, they are always accompanied by a trainer. We do this to try and prepare them and show them what we expect. Naturally, things that shouldn't happen, still do. But that is an issue that goes across all factions on the server. It is up to us faction leaders to try and mitigate the risks of this happening however. I can't speak for IA as I never had any interactions with IA myself while in PD, but in SD we do usually solve a case within a week, if not two in rare cases. Though I have to say, a lot of IA reports are complete bogus and they take time away from dealing with the actual issues. We have one reported been spammed to us 6 times in short succession, and each time triggering the IA process. That report was a waste of time which could have been allocated to solving actual cases. I know this is something most people do not want to hear, but PD and SD are not and will not unleash the full possibilities and consequences that would be justified in a state with such a high murder and crime rate. From an IC point of view, I have every justification I need to equip every single one of our deputies with an AR and authorize stop and search procedures on anyone wearing a known gang colour. ICly, this would be justified given the crimes, gangs and weaponry we face. But we don't do that. PD and SD, contrary to popular believe, are not looking to win every situation. We would utilize all tools and justifications if we were. You are seeing a PD and SD that are constraining themselves in action and reaction to the crime we face in order to give an enjoyable time in the server. We need criminials and you need the cops, it's simple.
SD and PD invest a lot of time every week in tracking what our members do, how much they work, if they log their arrests, duty reports, impounds, training sessions etc. We do what we can to ensure people are doing what they are supposed to do. Every week, supervisors are tasked with tracking everyone in the department, how much time they work, how many reports they write, what qualifications they have, if they do or do not provide training etc. This is done to monitor what is being done. This is something that takes hours of actual RL time, away from playing the game, where we sit and count reports, hours, trainings etc. etc. PD and SD are not just "log in get a gun" type of faction. Currently, it takes someone in SD a minimum of 51 days to be even eligible to apply for a shotgun, that is excluding the actual application and the potential failure of such application. We have strict rules on when heavy weapons can be deployed and who can do so. We recently suspended someone for the misuse of their weapons. You may think oh, what is a suspension going to do but you need to see the whole picture. The progression in PD and SD is something people aim for, they want to climb the ranks. A written warning and a suspension put off any and all promotions by at least 45 days from the date of the suspension. That is a severe hit in their progression and is definitely not something people take lightly within our factions.
A lot of good points have been made but I have also seen a lot of accusations and name calling that are nothing short of uproductive and harmful to the process of having an open dialogue. We are open to talk about things, anyone can message me on discord with an issue they have with a member of SD and we will talk about it. People have done that and they can confirm that I'll listen to the problem and try to resolve it. Coming on the forums only helps if it's constructive and to the point. We need to have an open dialogue because honestly, getting pulled over and being asked to identify yourself before you are being told why you are being pulled over is NRP? That's just not true. It's a petty claim. People also severely overestimate what they can or cannot do. I can't remember when I had the last traffic stop which did not involve a bunch of their gang members show up, cricle us and constantly barge in asking what's wrong. Do you realise how NRP that is? Your guy is getting a speeding ticket, you don't show up asking questions getting yourself arrested for obstruction of justice, that is NRP. We deal with a lot of issues on a daily basis that we don't come on here for accusing each and every criminal for. It is important to differentiate between what is good and what is bad. Yesterday I roleplayed a roadside inspection of a vehicle and the driver told me "I better leave because his boys are coming". Is that the kind of RP we are supposed to accept from a criminal point of view? It's not and I understand that these are isolated cases.
We need an open dialogue but it has to be constructive and I can assure you that a lot of issues either side has with each other, can be resolved if we do it reasonably and talk about things in a manner that is not aggressive.
Like I stated earlier this your guys own fault. The excessive force and excessive use of threats has turned PD and SD into a joke. Reason why whenever you pull someone over for a crime who is affiliated mad people show up. The reason being the cops who is stopping may or may not be one who literally is one of the ones using excessive force. At that point, people have stopped trusting IA. Along with the news report regarding IA being biased.
The criminals are left with no choice but to take matters in their own hands. When showing up to a police department and only ever seeing the chief hanging out on the staircase with females, it shows he doesn't care for his job nor the citizens. Its very unprofessional. Along with calling 6 cops because you THINK a man doesn't have a valid permit so next thing you know, you have 7 cops around you with carbines out.
I have ran into the firearms permit issues 10 times in the past 24 hours. I carry a .50 with a valid permit. And instead of just asking to see my permit, they call in mass amounts of backup for literally no reason. Which wastes everyones time. Hate to say it but if your asking about someones gun and then hop on a radio in front of them requesting backup for a firearms check, well hate to say it, if the gun is illegal, you just put yourself as an officer at risk.
We can sit here all day going back and forth on this. Fact of the matter remains, PD and SD will not give out harsher punishments nor quicker punishments due to the lack of personnel on the force. Which leads me back to my original point. IA is in fact not doing their job.
The only solution to this goes to topics other people have said. Increase pay wages. From what I have heard, no first hand experience, I can get paid better money working as a mechanic or at Weazel than I can at PD. Was told by a cop today that if I sat in the mines for 8 hours, I would make more money than he does in 12. Seems a bit fucked to be honest. A person who wears a badge, is hated by all, and risks their life daily gets paid far less than the person sitting at the mines where the only risk is being robbed.
The pay system in general needs a massive overhaul when its comes to risk vs reward. As of right now, I feel PD and SD are lacking personnel due to this. I know a few officers from my alt, that quit PD and SD due to the lack of pay. And they moved on to better jobs or to mining. They couldn't afford going out and having fun on a police salary. Nor could they in the first place due to being so hated.
Something needs to change for an overall better RP experience for everyone. The current status is not at where it should be. -
But at a certain point the punishment system needs to be handled quicker. And if it cant then the punishments need to be more severe. You said yourself the IA department is spread thin. If it takes 2 months for them to respond and do something. Whats to say in that 2 month time period, that cop does the same exact mistake. Nothing is learned because the second time they did it is cancelled by the first because they didn't know it was wrong in the first place.

Love the real life videos @Pertinax. Again doesn't prove your point. It proves ours.
Still remains PD is beyond out of control.
-
Flying in now specifically for this @Jasmine
-
Fitz, you watch this shit above. Raven doing his typical bullshit that he does to everyone yet nothing happens. And they wonder why half the force leaves and goes crim. RP is much more enticing and fun crim side. PD has become legit 0 RP
-
Perfect Example of abuse of power. This right here-
Legit claims the road in the pictures is a one way from Mission Row to the Square. Yet the road signs state the road is a one way FROM the Square to Mission Row. Hands my buddy a ticket.
Then makes threats for me asking questions and the fact I was told previously SD has no jurisdiction in the city.
And I get threatened with obstruction yet the female is even closer than I was and gets nothing said to her because she knows him. Seems a bit fucked
Already filed an IA report. Bet 10 to 1 it will be like @alexalex303 case and I will get a response in 2 months time. Wonder how much damage Officer Raven does before the report gets recognized. -

To be honest I haven't see the IA team since they members are hidden from the department. I do agree that IA needs more people for the huge amount of complains. But again There's a low amount of officers. And ever more when they join a division, like IA. That's why the department is looking for more member to fill out stop withing the department.
Right now when the server reach around 200 players may be there's only 20 officers around witch made it 10 to 1.This is legit PD and SD own fault. No one wants to join a group who is mutually hated by law abiding citizens and nonlaw abiding citizens. You guys hire literally anyone and everyone. And the ACTUAL good cops who are fun to RP with and do their job properly, seem to be tired of doing it. Wouldn't be surprised if the police department literally goes barren soon. 95% of the time when I go down there looking for a high ranking officer or the police chief, I get told go out front they are hanging out. Like damn dude, what happened to professionalism. Was just at Mission Row and the police chief is hanging out on the stairs with 2 girls in a Christmas outfit fuckin around while a cadet is handling my situation alone. Seems a bit ass backwards imho.

As police officer we just double check. because In my experience, 80% of the times, the vehicle is actually stolen.
You legit just solidified the abuse of power and the amount of bias in the PD and SD.
I legit have watched videos of police using excessive force on ECRP and nothing has been done to these cops unless ECRP staff steps in. For example, Officer Raven. Constantly is seen abusing his power and using excessive force yet he is still on the force. And if I am not mistaken just got promoted. How the fuck that even seems remotely okay is beyond me. Dude uses excessive force and is hated by everyone yet gets promoted.
Another cop who is hated by everyone is Striker or however you spell it. He literally sits at the bank - ticketing and towing everyone. Even if you just arrived to grab your salary, he runs over and drops a ticket on your window. Like I understand the parking system but most places if your running in and then out, don't require a parking fee. Sorry but if my trip to the bank is legit a minute long. Im not paying for parking for 1 minute. Its pointless.
Also the other issue is none of the cops seem to understand the concealment RP nor understand that it exists. I know people who legit login and do the RP Concealment under a coat or something and cops still push it with them even though they have OOC Proof of the concealment. They just blatantly ignore it.
Truthfully I agree with @alexalex303. Cops need to stop being given written warnings or other shit. They need to be kicked to the curb for doing dumb shit that under normal circumstances, would not fly in the real world. This server is based on realism yet the only people actually being punished on a realistic level are the people playin as criminals.

BUILDING AREA-
FRONT DOORS-
Upon further inspection I found the door on the rights built in storage is only 50volume reason its listed lower than the left door.
