Police Mission Statement

Purpose

We, the members of the Altis Police Department are committed to excellence in law enforcement and are dedicated to the people, traditions and diversity of our Island. To protect life and property, prevent crime and reduce the fear of crime, we will provide service with understanding, respond with compassion, perform with integrity and enforce the law with vision.

Values

These values guide the operations of the department and the conduct of its members. These are our fundamental beliefs from which our agency sets policy, delivers services and implements programs. Values set standards for our members in executing their public safety duties. These values guide our actions.

• Professionalism
• Integrity
• Courage
• Compassion
• Honesty
• Reliability
• Understanding

Standards

All officers are expected to keep an outstanding level of roleplay at all times. We are here to enforce the law but first and foremost Roleplay. with that being said we expect all officers to reward roleplay. People that stop and talk to us always needs to have a fair chance to get away with whatever crime they have committed. If they have a valid and reasonable RP story let them off or give them a reduced ticket or punishment and inform them about this. If guns are involved they are to be seized and another form of reward for the roleplay is to be given this is because the guns are the leading cause of violence. If we go in with the mentality to catch everyone and everything there is no reason to stop because it is not beneficial. If an officer is seen neglecting the fact that a good Roleplay story has been given and does not reward this action may be taken. people need to be able to speak their way out of trouble otherwise the whole concept of a roleplay server is lost and we have to make this possible.

Specialist Divisions

National Crime Agency (NCA)

The National Crime Agency, or NCA for short, is dedicated to combating the distribution of illegal narcotics and weapons while disrupting the financial activities of organized criminal networks. Equipped with cutting-edge technology and specialized weaponry to give them the upper hand.

National Policing Air Service (NPAS)

NPAS or National Police Air Service is the acting Air service in the Police force. We are the unit that provides aerial support for ground units as well as transportation across the island. We have a large inventory of helicopters which help us achieve these goals.

Marine Police Unit (MPU)

The Marine Policing Unit (MPU) is a specialized unit within the police force. Responsible for policing the waters around Altis. Our officers are trained to handle a wide range of waterborne emergencies and incidents.

Tactical Firearms Unit (TFU)

TFU (The Tactical Firearms Unit) is a highly specialized police unit trained to counter terrorism. They operate in small numbers in some of the most dangerous areas of the island, and their primary focus is to handle large-scale incidents like Police Lockup, Abandoned outpost, hostage situations, and jailbreaks, with the ultimate goal of minimizing harm to civilians.

Returning Officers

Police officers may choose to leave the force for any given reason and are always welcome back, although they will return with a lower rank to compensate for the knowledge lost. If the officer returns within 6 months they will not have to do the training they previously already received. If the rejoin occurs after 6 months, ex-officers will have to redo the PCSO training course to refresh their knowledge before returning to the stated return rank below. If it has been over a year since the officer left, then they will return as a PCSO and follow the same progression as any new officer would.

If an officer wants to return his new rank will be based on his old rank:

Old Rank	Returning Rank
Police Community Support Officer (PCSO)	Police Community Support Officer
Police Constable	Police Community Support Officer
Senior Police Constable	Police Constable
Sergeant	Police Constable
Desk Sergeant	Senior Police Constable
Inspector	Sergeant
Chief Inspector	Sergeant
Superintendent	Desk Sergeant
Chief Superintendent	Desk Sergeant
Command	Inspector (command discretion)

Returning Officer Cooldown

Each time you leave cops, you will receive a cooldown of X number weeks, once this cooldown is over you are free to join the police again. The cooldown time increases every time you leave to encourage you to stay in the cops.

Time Period	Joining Cooldown
First time leaving	One week
Second time leaving	Two weeks
Third time leaving	Three weeks
Fourth time leaving	Four weeks
Fifth time leaving +	Six weeks

Kicked Officer Cooldown

If a police officer has been kicked because of some rule-breaking or inactivity. Then please follow the following table:

Time Period	Joining Cooldown
First kick	1 Month cooldown (Returning as PCSO)
Second kick	3 Month cooldown (Returning as PCSO)
Third kick	6 Month cooldown (Returning as PCSO)
Fourth kick +	9 Month cooldown (Returning as PCSO)
Fifth kick +	12 Month cooldown (Returning as PCSO)

If you are permanently banned from the server for whatever reason, you will be removed from the Police immediately and will have to discuss reinstatement when unbanned, with Command.

Grace Period

We understand that you may leave the police, regret the decision and want to return without waiting for a cooldown. So there is a 48 hour period from when you leave the police in which you can return without any negative impact on your police career, however, there are some conditions to this:

• You can only use this grace period once every 6 months.

• If you use this period to play as a rebel your cooldown will change to the kicked officer system (Management WILL check before an officer returns using the grace period)

• If you are kicked from the police you are not eligible and must wait the kicked cooldown period

Medic FastTrack

The police are always in need of new members to help protect the lands of Altis. Police and Medical command have decided that anyone with the medic rank of JDOC can after their joining, skip their obligatory trainee hours but will still have to perform the same tests as everyone else. However, if you are under the age of 15 you are not allowed to skip any hours and must complete all your hours in order for us to see if you are mature enough to play in the police.

Reward/Promotions/Holidays

Promotion System

The promotion system is designed to be as fair as possible, the ranks of PSCO and PCSO to PC are training ranks and to that end, it is at the discretion of the Academy as it is there job to ensure you are trained and ready to be in a Constabulary. After you are placed into a Constabulary, to be promoted you need to first meet the minimum time served in rank, this can be found in the table below:

Promotion	Minimum time in Rank
PC - SPC	7 days
SPC - SGT	7 days
SGT - DSGT	7 days
DSGT - Insp	14 days & appointed
Insp - C/Insp	14 days & appointed
C/Insp - Supt	21 days & appointed
Supt - C/Supt	21 days & appointed
C/Supt - DCOM	N/A & appointed
DCOM - COM	N/A & appointed

Once you meet the minimum time served (shown above) you will be eligible for promotion, however, promotion is not guaranteed. Each week: you need to meet the hour requirements (7 hours per week or 3 hours for Academy). Once eligible you will be discussed in the weekly Constabulary Command meeting, where all your feedback will be taken into consideration and you will either be granted promotion or denied, if you are denied a promotion, contact your constabulary command and they will inform you of why you were not promoted and points to work on.

Only the Police High Command (i.e. the Police COM's) can overrule these promotions. People who are promoted to the rank of Police Board or Police Command are placed onto a 2 week probationary period from the date of promotion. During your probationary period, any DCOM+ can end your probation for any genuine reason. This will be voted on.

Power promotions

Power promotions are not to be common place in the Police. The Commissioners of the Altis Police Force are the only people who are allowed to alter the promotion DATE and this will be voted on, and normally only by a couple days either side.

Holiday System

To be entitled to a holiday you need to be a minimum of SGT and have spent at least 1 month in the police force, the police holiday is used to relieve some stress within the police force, the rules around police holidays are as follows:

• You are not an off duty officer so do not say you are.
• Police holidays are a maximum of 4 days in length.
• You can go on holiday once every 2 months (every month for Academy).
• You are not to go on holiday to intentional target police officers.
• There can be no more than 6 Officers on Holiday at any given time
• There can be no more than 2 constabulary command members on holiday at any one time.
• You Must apply for a police holiday at least 24 hours before your police holiday is due to start.

Police Holiday within Blackwater

• If a member of Police/Blackwater joins Police/Blackwater on their designated Holiday, they will be whitelisted as SGT in Cops, and Sgt in Blackwater. The unit command such as TFU, NCA, NPAS & SRT may whitelist them within their unit.
• If a member of Police/Blackwater during their Holiday within the Police/Blackwater, break Police/Blackwater rules or come to intentionally troll, they will be blacklisted from the Police and punished within Police/Blackwater with full correspondence between Generals & Commissioners
• Players must not join opposing faction for intelligence gathering or sharing cop/bw information, this will lead to cross faction punishment

Ticket and Prison system

Fixed Penalty Notice

• Max fine 100k
• Intended to be given for Minor offences (speeding, public order act, public display of a firearm etc)
• FPN price can be negotiated depending on their roleplay
• If you suspect them of having additional crimes but they don't have ID, and there crimes aren't serious (FPNs do NOT wipe their PNC record)

Tickets

• Max fine 500k
• Doesn't matter if they have an ID or not
• Intended to be given for more serious offenses (manslaughter, robbery, attempted murder, etc)
• Ticket price can be negotiated depending on their roleplay
• If they have ID you can check their PNC record
• If they don't then calculate the charges, issue the ticket based on that, and or reduce based on roleplay
• If they fail to pay an FPN 3 times = Jail
• If they fail to pay a ticket 3 times = Jail
• Carrying ID or not has zero influence on FPN/Ticket prices, it allows you to check their PNC record and that's it!!
• You CAN NOT send them to jail for not carrying ID

Issuing an FPN/ticket depends on the individual situation and needs to be assessed by the arresting officer through roleplay.

The FPN (Fixed Penalty Notice) system now allows you to give someone a ticket without affecting their wanted status. You are only to use this when the officer has witnessed them commit a crime, such as a traffic offense, although the max is currently £100k.

The ticket is a punishment for crimes that are not worth prison time and is given after reading someone their rights.

Bounty Amount	Max Punishment
£0 - £50,000/Ticket refusal	5 Years
£50,000 - £100,000/Ticket refusal	10 Years
£100,000 - £500,000/Ticket refusal	15 Years

• Major crimes (Police Lockup/Abandoned Outpost)
• Redzone (including warzone and supply convoy)
• PD Raids
• Hostage situations
• Planned operations (drug busts, house raids)
• Bank of Arudy
• C/Insp+ authorisation to class the situation as an operation

Documentation

25.1 - C/Supt+ can sign roleplay documents for Lockup, Abandon outpost and Bank of Arudy.

25.2 - If the documentation is signed any agreements or criteria within the document must be abided to by both sides, however do not use this as an excuse to break roleplay.

Police Complaints Commision

The Police Complaints Commission allows members of the public to question the action of any police officer and receive an appropriate response promptly.

All police complaints are to be posted to the PCC to allow a record to be kept of all issues and actions taken, as well as to be used as a reference for future complaints so a common approach to situations can be maintained.

Officers shall only post in response to complaints that they are directly involved in, any officers posting on complaints in which they are not directly involved shall be subject to disciplinary procedures.

Police complaints shall be dealt with by the Chief Superintendent and Superintendent. All posts made in the PCC by officers should remain professional. Failure to adhere to the standards set will see officers subject to disciplinary procedures.

All evidence, be it; written, screenshot or video, are to be posted to the PCC to allow for all parties to review the evidence provided.

Discussions should not take place outside the PCC regarding the complaint unless it is to clarify information that has already been provided.

Any complaint that is seen to violate server rules shall be referred to the administration team for processing.

Discipline Procedure

Disciplinary procedures can be conducted by members of the police force ranked as Superintendent and above.

Should you disagree with any disciplinary action taken you have the right to one appeal. An appeal can be made and will be sent to the Deputy Commissioner or Commissioner.

You are only allowed to give away one punishment, stated underneath.

Disciplinary action may take the form of, but is not limited to;

• Verbal warning
• Written warning
• Temporary demotion
• Permanent demotion
• Temporary removal of assets
• Permanent removal of assets
• Temporary suspension
• Permanent removal
• Temporary removal from a specialist unit
• Permanent removal from a specialist unit
• Each warning point is permanent unless reviewed and removed by DCOM+, if the warning point is 6+ months old it is unlikely to be factored into the next statement. Two warnings will equal a demotion, a total of three will result in a kick from the police.

Police Retraining

The alternative to the above discipline procedures is going on a training course that academy run that will show you how to properly conduct yourself while you are in the police force. This is called Retraining. Anyone who is at the rank of INSP or below can be put forward for retraining if their constabulary command thinks it is necessary to do so.

Any SUPT+ of academy or above can approve a retraining request and this is typically done for offences like “Not following police procedure” or “Not roleplaying like a police officer”.

Communications

Proper radio communications are critical and are a basic requirement for police officers. Messages must be clear, concise and contain all the necessary information for other officers to act and respond appropriately.

Example 1
Identify yourself (This is Tango Victor 4...)
Identify your recipient (...to Tango Victor 1…)
If you have a question, ask it now (...do you need assistance at your position, over…)
If you have a request, make it now (...requesting immediate assistance by Copper Trader...)
Inform them of the situation (...shots fired, 1 officer down and 2 suspects moving in with illegal rifles, bearing 062…)

Example 2
Identify yourself (This is Papa Victor 1…)
Identify your recipient (...to Papa Victor 4…)
If asked a question, respond now (...support required, multiple civilians causing problems…)
If a request was made, answer it now (...copy that, we are en route eta 2 minutes…)
If you have any further questions about the situation, ask them now (...can you confirm if any civilians are on scene?...)

Example 3
Identify yourself (This is Tango Victor 2…)
Identify your recipient (...to Tango Victor 4…)
Communicate message (...we’ve heard your callout and are responding as well, eta 3 minutes…)
