[Guide] How To: Policeman

[UTLonghorn12]

Police RP Guide
The following is a guide on how to role-play as a Police Officer [Lengthened from Killjoy's Version]

Nexus Policing Guide
-If told to guard a certain area by the President or Commander, go there immediately
-No Non-Government Officials should be past the Nexus Desk or in the Garage
-Report all suspicious activity via Radio
-Do not taze a unarmed individual without first talking to him. Ask him to leave
- If a large group of armed individuals enters, quickly report it via Radio
-If you are at the desk and are quickly taken at gunpoint, do not use your radio or weaponry
-If people claim they have permission from the President to enter, ask the President first via radio
-Cuff any visitors that have clearance to enter the Nexus unless told otherwise
-Ask the President before constructing a large, keypad locked desk bunker (Whatever you call it)

Street Policing Guide
-Do not walk around with your weapon out, even lowered.
-Report everywhere you go that could result in injury via Radio
-Constantly watch for any suspicious activity
-Don't get lured into places where you will be the only cop with rebels or Corleones
-Check in on certain shops and businesses. Make sure the city is safe

Vehicle Policing/Pursuit Guide
-Do not speed or run red lights. Set a example
-Do not open fire on a vehicle just for fleeing your car
-Watch vehicles with the radar gun. Don't randomly spam the radar gun on people and doors
-Do not open fire on a vehicle for speeding. (Unless the driver is posing a threat to the citizens around him/her)
-Pursue a car when fleeing. Call for backup if they do not pull over. Attempt to push them off the road
-When waiting for speeders, always make sure your gas tank is full and your engine off
-If the subject fails to exit his car when demanded, fire a warning shot.
Shooting to kill IN THIS CASE is a last resort

Dealing with Rough Civilians and Crowds
-The President banned loitering or protesting? This doesn't mean to go around tazing everyone
-Ask crowds to disperse, protesters to exit the premises, and so on
-Do not simply taze citizens if they fail to comply. Ask them to leave multiple times, then call for a Arrest warrant
-If they get too rowdy or rough, use your tazer. Do NOT open fire unless they threaten you or others lives
-If there is any rulebreaking when protesting, remember, use @, do not take things into your own hands

Hostage Crises
-When dealing with a hostage, don't run in, guns blazing, as the result is usually a dead hostage.
-Attempt negotiation, whether through PM, or yelling at the door
-If armed individuals hostage you as well, do not use your radio or weaponry
-Remember! Paying for the freedom of a hostage means FREEDOM for the hostage. If they kill you afterwards, they broke the rules. Use @.
-Report every bit of information using your radio
-Block off the streets with unfrozen barricades and/or your squad cars (Obtain permission from your superiors)

RoE/Miscellaneous
-Do not use lethal force unless your life or the lives of others are being threatened
-Defend yourself with Deadly force if a suspect is approaching with any sort of weapon
-Usually, when they are being shot at and CROUCH, they are usually surrendering. At this point it is safe to approach. BE CAUTIOUS
-If you believe a building to be a drug haven, don't get a search warrant and go in guns blazing. Request backup and use strategy
-Remember, if you have him at gunpoint, and he pulls a gun, he broke the rules. Use @ to bring this up to the active Admins

Remember:
-When doing any of these above things, follow the server rules, as those come first
-Do not shoot at unarmed civilians
-Follow all traffic laws. Stop signs, Red Lights, Speed Limits, and so on. Set a Example
-Get permission from your superiors (and usually a admin) before building checkpoints on the road
-Use @ to report rulebreakers! Don't get banned for being a backseat admin
-During a raid, avoid NLR! If you are killed and respawn, leave the Nexus for a bit. Wait it out!
-CDM is a crime (Vehicular Manslaughter), arrest those of which who do it!
-Roleplay as much as possible! This entire post is to encourage the correct Roleplay of the Police/Commander job!
-Unresponsive Commander/President jobs should be reported to a Admin using @
-The /radio command is your friend! Use it as much as possible!

I remember reading this before I first became a Police Officer; I was so worried about not making a minge out of myself.
It was a great help, and is a very useful guide.

[Narc]

Looks awesome! Will definitely help new users out finding their ways into roleplaying as an Officer.

[DoomDude1]

Great guide! I only wish that there was some way of actually forcing people read it before they can apply for Police/SS (not read it every time, just for new players when they apply for the first time).
Anyway, you covered everything, good job again!
