Suspects don't give a damn about cops we aren't "scaring" them. i think we need better guns! better guns when you /duty.
not just a lame pistol...or at least add MORE AMMO cuz i'm always empty.
Apart from APRD getting slightly better arms (although to be honest not much better), you will find many officers will actually go out and buy heavier arms for certain situations. As for ammo I agree its all too often I run out of tec9 ammo even when used sparingly to try and take a suspects tires out while in a chase (not actually ran out of pistol yet, been close tho)
i also serve in the army as Cpl and we better use tanks..or at least heavy cars that will resist bullets.
Army is another matter, the tank wont get in due to the fact that any vehicle it bumps blows up... and there is little more than a Barracks or Patriot that suits army use.
we need police helicopter and orginized air support. the air support will tell the exact location of the suspect and will take hurt cops or to bring small rescue reinforcements.
I must give thanks to Nicholas for his kind words, however its due to being able to use teamspeak regulary, and also spending much of my initial time as a SFPD Helicopter - Cadet. It is now being helped by a co-pilot which makes the flying much easier as I dont have to worry about typing. Others do patrol in helicopters but they are often single seating which considering they have to both fly and do thier comms is rather poor (you can only really get away with it if you have TS comms as well).
Plans are in hand to provide a means of quick extraction and I will hopefully be giving lessons in certain aspects of air support work to allow other regular users to reach a high enough standard to enable air support to be relatively efficent.
Worst case I have had was when I grabbed a Nevada and was prepared to parachute onto a target as both police helicopters where not at thier spawns, unforunately the suspects had been dealt with by the time i was enarby.
We also should have huge police meeting to make rules clear and make all cops, better.
Worldwide membership and players personal time preferances make this rather hard
we also need to cooperate more. if someone says "need backup suspect is getting away,over." i'd like to hear a response as "Whats your location,over." thats better! and sometimes i ask "any situation,over." no one tells me.
I agree, this hoever needs to work from bottom up as particualry at the moment the senoir officers tend to be admins and are almost overwelmed by the 'offical' status, also we are frequenetly advising freecops on what to do (and often telling them NOT to do stuff)
We must be MORE ORGINIZED 
to arrest the suspects and bring order and peace to the city.
Its not so much more organsised but with better acceptance from many of the new guys that there is a system in place they can be part of rather than just doing thier own thing which often makes for bad rp and hard police work for the longer term players.
Yes we do have some old problems, and many are being looked at. Becoming offical slowed the whole APRD processing down as we suddenly lost a lot of the time we use for training etc..
As for /surrender, yes its hard, if you on a chase then preprep it and when you do t use up arrow to bring it down and just hit enter...
You will also learn about the situations when this can be overlooked when you do the training, it snot frequent but it does make sense and does need justification, it should not be assumed just because of time that it cant be done, just a matter of practice.
