These Detectives can be doing a Wide range of work doing anything from Reporting things to the Police to helping Lovers find out if there other half has been cheating. These types of Detectives can normally negotiate there own pay rate.

"So... Now i've got a Desk, what do i do?!"

Well, This all Depends on what type of Detective you are...

Government Detective's should report straight to there boss (as listed above) and state there intentions - if there boss disagrees then either 1) Go Unemployed and do Private Detective or 2) Play as your RP class.

Private Detective's should start advertising there services. I would first send a /PM to the President asking if he needs any work. Then use /Advert and type some Message like this... /Advert "Need a Detective? Someone to Snoop around? Someone to find your Cheating Wife? Then /PM BlahBlahBlah"

"Yes! Someone wants to Hire me!"

Assuming your a Private Detective, These are the Basic steps you should take to starting your investigation.

Step 1) Invite them to your Office for a Full consultation.
Step 2) Find out what they want to know and write it all down using /note.
Step 3) Ask about suspects and anyone who might be able to help you out.
Step 4) State that this is all Confidential.

If you are a Government Detective, These are the Basic Steps.

Step 1) Find out what investigation the President por Head of SS/Police Commander is sending you on.
Step 2) Write it all down on /Note
Step 3) Ask about any Possible Leads.
Step 5) Radio to your Fellow Officers that you are Investigating and do not want any Police Interference and will request Backup if needed.

Once you have found the Required info, Report back to your Client and Report the Results.

If you are a Government Detective, I recommend doing a full case Write up using /note then handing it to the President yourself.

Tips and Warnings.

Tips:

This is Passive RP - You DO NOT Need to Carry a Gun or Arrest People.
Always do your Job if told by the President.
Post up in RP Section or on This guide when you are Finished!

Warnings:

Some Suspects will try and Shoot you - You Can shoot back, But i'd recommend getting Backup.
Dont FailRP or Meta Game.
Allways Obey the Rules of the Server.
This is NOT UNDERCOVER RP. Don't treat it as it, always display your Job Title clearly.
