'Merit Awards'
Introduction
The Merit system, is a system the LVPD uses as a 'reference' to see how Officers are doing on the forum / during in game. Points are rewarded for certain things, such as Patrol reports, Dispatch reports, desk assignments. We do not use the Merit system as a prime reference to award/promote during ceremonies, but as a sort of 'back up' data about the work of each Officer.
System of the Merit awards
I'll use the LVPD tasks which you have to do to be awarded these 'Merit awards', as an example.
60 minutes/1 Hour PATROL Report = 1 Merit
60 minutes/1 Hour DISPATCH Report = 1 Merit
1 Completed assignment = 1 Merit
For Patrol / Dispatch reports, say if an Officer does 1 Hour 30 minutes, he won't be awarded for 30 minutes, but just for the 60, So he may push him self if possible to get more merits, for every hour you do on Reports, you receive one merit.
For assignments, the assignment can be short / long as possible, but must offer some physical activity during in game, to receive one merit after being completed.
Additional Information
We keep adding Merits to people who earn them, and after a Ceremony, every Merit is nulled to 0, Including the assignments board, Patrol reports board, Dispatch reports board topics. They are nulled to 0, because the Merits may of been used as a reference for certain awards, but also by nulling them after ceremonies, the Officers who are low on Merits, have a fresh chance, to try collect as many as possible, Note that Officers are aware that they cannot just receive awards by simply collecting merits, but also trying different ways to help the Department, and putting effort in.
Patrol Reports - Merits are given by Patrol Commanders (Patrol Center Upper CMD if needed)
Dispatch Reports - Merits are given by Dispatch Commanders (Patrol Center Upper CMD if needed)
Assignment Reports - Merits are given by Patrol Center Upper CMD
I would gladly answer any questions, to help clear confusion so this may work smoothly if your Department puts it in use.
Signed,
Captain Leroy Hudson
Honestly, I do like the idea but I believe there will be some negative things going on.
I'm speaking for endless competition of each department's officer, and in end, big arguements :hit:
I do not like this
For these merits, either get a fixed number for the medal, or scrap it. By saying getting the 'most' points to get it within the PD could piss people off.
For example, one guy from LSPD gets 5 points and gets the medal because they have the most, guy from DPD gets 15 but does not get a medal because he did not get the most?
Ideas need revising.
Also, how the hell do the SAPD command staff vote on each player if they never patrol with them? And also are inactive, for example, practically all our chiefs are rarely on.
We will only check patrol reports, dispatch reports and assignments to check who earns merits.Yeah, well, i was more curious about how you know how long he/she patrolled. appart from trust of course
I used 5 minutes to add merits for this February to all dpd officers earlier today, it's not that much extra work, and it's more likely a "back-up" so we can have better overview of which officers that are active on the field serving, for exemple for the meritorious service medal. ;)

Well it wouldn't take to much time to find out, depending on how many arrests/jails and c3 situations the officer has been involved in.
If a officer has patrolle for example 6hours+ it will be checked into more, then just a report for 1 hour.
Officers should provide as much as they can with how many C3 situations, special situations and jails/kills in their reports and provide pictures.
I was suprised when i saw the "Promotion and Awards" topic in "news and announcement" to see an officer awarding a Sergeant & Lt with Police Star medal, that is just a joke...

About the idea..
Well seems more designed for LVPD..I do support it if it can be reformed for each department.
This is one thing that piss me off.. yes it is a GAME and not a IRL Life MUST-PLAY GAME.
We play this for FUN, and it's meant to be FUN in game, but with all these stuff on FORUMS, with reports and more on-going, it's not getting more fun but rather! More nervous! Because you must like write down everything you do to report it.. and that's annoying... let fun live, and paper work go away.. why do you make things more complicated and less fun for players?
Ever since the re-formation to PDs, yes by one point it is helpful because there are cities with more activity as it has it's own cops and team now, HOWEVER it's SOO Complicated that looses the FUN... as you have got 'tasks' and stuff.. to write so many things...
Seriously, It is a game and should not be so 'serious' and so complicated... I hope you get what I mean.. Nothing personal against usage of forums, I like using forums or etc.. but NO need for people to have SO much complicated things.. like so many reports.. here and there..
Now, to add from last comment.. since Hank recalls this a little more competition, No.. this 'ULTRA COMPETITION' from everybody will just be annoying and everyone will go stats-hungry, thinking that the more merits they got, the best cops they are.. but that's so false...
This is an RP Server if I can remind you... and Roleplay means; Having Fun INGAME... How can you call this a little more competition hank? Please give me an answer..
Please DON'T go telling me; NOBODY Enforces you to do this, so just don't do it (apply etc.)..I'm speaking for everything/everyone in general, and not just for my self..

This is bullshit, okey if there's officer who's nolifing and just shooting suspects 24/7, he is most active officer in SAPD and he reaches Sergeant/Lieutenant rank and then everything f**ks up because he have no f**king idea what to do.

it's good at it is, if you want make anything better for SAPD give applicants tests or something before accepting to cadet.
You left, and no longer are welcomed to give your constant unnecessary, fight provoking commentary. Failure to shut your big mouth will result in a forum ban. - Your best friend.Totally disagree, Captain Leroy Hudson actually fulfills his duty and roles. If you had such permission to CURRENTLY view his work you would admire it. Your putting someone down, criticizing someone wrong way, understand authentication of his Rank and remember it was also you in that rank previously and how others looked at your performance. He's managing a whole Department, responsibility is not irrelevant, something huge- like load of sandbags in your head. He is one of the best Captain seen so far..

About merit system, it's totally perfect. It's to see if Officers fulfills there duties as it refers from SAPD Regulations and Administration that you patrol when on duty. Merit system gives officer encouragements to do more activities with'in his department and merit award actually pays officers commission (RP) as they would in the real life.
