SAPD Basic Rules:
[1]. The accepted standard duty weapons are (Pepper Spray, Baton, 9mm, Deagle, Pump-action Shotgun)
Officers are equipped by SAPD with Baton, Pepper spray, Deagle, SMG, and other weapons can be bought in Ammunation. The SMG must be used carefully, because its a special duty weapon. Abusing the SMG or other weapons (& non-supported weapons) will result serious punishment.
[1.1]. Procedures of Engagement with Force:
-Suspect is running -- Use warnings to order to stop, if they do not heed, you may open fire (Standard Duty weapons only)
-Suspect is idle -- You must use ONLY pepper spray or baton, if they fail to comprehend after warnings, and you cannot apprehend, you may use baton or pepper spray to take down. (If suspect is armed with fire-arm while idle, you still must only use pepper spray or baton, it is advised you have another Officer to cover you with a gun).
-Suspect is unarmed and assaulting -- You must use ONLY pepper spray or baton to defend yourself against the assault, if he continues, you may neutralize but with pepper or baton only.
-Suspect is armed with fire-arm and shooting -- You may open fire immediately (No specified weapon, use anything to protect your life or others)
-Suspect is airborne/waterborne or swimming -- You may open fire after warning (No specified weapon)
-Suspect is escaping in a vehicle and your on foot -- You may open fire after warnings IF possible, and try neutralize their vehicle (No specified weapon)
SWAT members MAY use SWAT regulations whilst on SAPD Duty, this is to reduce chance of delaying response, SWAT regulations will be concealed for safety, if you feel a member of SWAT whilst on SAPD or SWAT duty acted unnecessarily, send a complaint to the Command Staff members of SWAT.
*-When suspect is ASSAULTING WITH/HOLDING A melee weapon, you must use the same procedure as you would on an unarmed suspect.
*-If a CIVILIAN suddenly shoots with a fire-arm, and you have no time to suspect as your being shot, you may neutralize to save your life.
* - If a suspect discharges a fire-arm in the presence of police, the police can then use any weaponry necessary or drive-by any vehicle which the suspect who discharged the weapon is using or is in.
[1.2]. Drive-by rules:
-When the suspect(s) is/are in a faster vehicle or shooting whilst in their vehicle, or the suspect(s) is/are threating life on foot and the officer has no time to exit from the vehicle. In that case you can use drive-by shooting. (In any other situation drive-bying is forbidden)
*-When the suspect is escaping with a plane/helicopter/boat.
(Drive-bying from driver seat is not allowed, the only exception is for the police bikes | as biker not allowed to shoot at players with driver drive-by.. you may only shoot at vehicles when receiving fire from their passangers.)
Unless your life or someone else's life is in danger due to the suspect, you must always warn before opening fire such as /m1, /m2, /m3, If they refuse to stop, you can drive-by if the points above meet.
REMINDER: The goal is to try and ARREST not KILL!

[2]. The SAPD command staff advises every officer to use only the suggested duty weapons.
Of course when theres an extreme situation and the command staff sees the different weapons even heavy weapons were neccesary, you wouldnt receive disadvantage. But for example an unarmed suspect wanted for pissing in public and running away from the police/evading, and you pull out combat shotgun and blast him. Thats WRONG. Our aim is to arrest the suspects alive and not to execute him!
---
[3]. Against armed suspect who is evading and causing threat, you can call swat team.. if you feel you can not catch the suspect with only SAPD/ARPD forces. You are still allowed to engage any suspect, but SAPD officers should give priority to both their lives and that of the criminals. Many criminals are inclined to give up to SWAT.
---
[4]. When the suspect is wanted only for minor crime (traffic violation) dont dispatch swat, even if he is escaped by sports car. Use tactic, and work as team to apprehend the evader!
---
[5]. The SAPD Command staff enforces every officer to use marked police vehicles ONLY, and for organised patrols, the police vehicles will be promoted without exception!
If you are in pursuit and the only way to continue the pursuit until backup arrives is by commandeering a non-police vehicle, you are allowed to do so. However as soon as the suspect is apprehended or sufficient backup arrives you are obliged to return the vehicle to its owner, after having it repaired and filled up with petrol as compensation for your use.
If you are SAPD member and you are using civilian vehicle, the command members can question you about why are you using non-police vehicle and may take action against it.
[5.1]. Vehicles allowed:
Civil vehicles allowed: Towtruck, Securicar
Additional Unmarked allowed: LVPursuit, SADA Premier - SADA Only
*Civilian aricraft can be used for certain events, like patrolling the airspace or pursuit.
---
[6]. When pulling over a citizen for any kind of offense, SAPD officers should never use the suspect command if their intention is to fine the citizen. SAPD command will not unsuspect for having paid a fine if the citizen is suspected by an SAPD officer. This should be communicated to ARPD officers as well, until it is a clearly known rule.
---
[7]. SAPD officers should always invite new ARPD officers to join their patrol and show them their methods of work. Any fellow law enforcer should be treated as a partner, and any form of disrespect towards lower ranks or non SAPD officers can and will lead to punishment, including suspension or firing from SAPD.
