Jason Knight Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Good day, After the discussion on the Discord I figured I would drop my suggestions here to keep things organized. While I am under the complete understanding this is a light-rp server there still needs to be laws and criminal offenses that are enforced.If not what will happen is a state of lawlessness which will mean no one will want to roleplay as a cop because they can't enforce any traffic laws or criminal fines. The fines that I listed here are again, officer discretion. Budgets There was a discussion regarding utilizing a Police Budget from the taxing system and I 100% believe it should be, if we're making this a "realistic" even light-rp server if we have a taxing economy system, we should have a budget. This will keep things realistic on the police side, you won't see people able to spawn 70 different police cars because they slightly damaged one. The vehicles will need to be driving or towed to a repair shop in order to be repaired. That will mean that cops who don't clear intersections and crash into things will be penalized by having to take money from the department budget to repair their cruiser. Police Headquarters While I agree if I own a piece of property then I should spawn there, get my car from my garage and drive to my place of employment, that being said. There should be multiple police headquarters located through out the map, for instance the one in Sandy Shores, Paleto Bay and Mission Row in Los Santos. At these police stations there should be a spot to spawn a police vehicle, it should be limited by rank and role as well as current police staffing/vehicles purchased. For instance, if the department Chief has purchased 15 CVPI's then there can be a total of 15 officers able to be opearting the CVPIs for that particular time, if an officer goes off for the time being another officer would be able to utilize that available vehicle. In regards to the Chief purchasing those vehicle, they're sold at a surplus price therefore much more affordable. Police Operating Procedures I understand that GasKetse and harmdone are working on these, they need to be fairly detailed. Although you want this to be a light-rp fun server there still needs to be enough policies and procedures in place to dictate the officers abilities to do his job, therefore if there is a traffic stop - there needs to be a SOP for it. Detention SOP, Pursuit SOP, Arrest SOP (can be built into Detention) so on and so forth. In addition, this can be also helpful to those operating in the Internal Affairs role handling citizen complaints against officers because they can look at the situation and ensure that all written directives were followed and if they were not they will have the ability reprimand the officer for his failure to follow said directives. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Knight Posted December 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Police Repairs The use of a centralized repair facility should be considered and repairs should be billed to the department budget with a log kept of which officer is requesting the repair. This is great so the Chief can look back and say "well Officer A repaired his vehicle 38 times in a one week period...lets determine why" and go from there. If repairs are needed during a role play situation, for instance a pursuit and lets say one officer ends up crashing, vehicle ends up getting a flat or a bashed in front end...dependent on the SOP's in place, the officer will need to terminate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GasKetse Posted December 21, 2016 Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Yes I totally agree with the above mentioned. We indeed discussed it last night in detail. I think its a good start even though I support only one PD station at least for the beginning. I like the repair suggestion because it will force officers drive carefully and with a sense of danger which will show in RP. Indeed I will start working on "basic" SOP's and that's because we want it light RP. I am waiting for @harmdone or any forum developer/admin to create the LSPD rooms so we can start. There will be a police academy for sure due to the fact we are trying to mature and serious players in LSPD. Handing a gun and power to anyone will lead to stupidness and unhappy players (abused). @Jason Knight You are more than welcome to help. Not sure if you want to be in LSPD or not but your help is appreciated in anyway. Thank you for the suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Knight Posted December 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Yes I think the repair idea even if at the inception of the server is simply nothing more then say $5.00 or something to repair the vehicle, it will help out. In regards to help, I have no problems passing around ideas at this point however I do not want to commit 100% and give my all to a community unless I know I'll be sticking around. I hope everyone understands, this is just meant for no disrespect. There truly needs to be two police stations to start. I think the one in Paleto and the one in Mission Row would be the two starting, then if needed add the sub division in Sandy Shores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
