New rules applying for ARPD/SAPD communications on the field & forums!

[Hank_Rafferty]

To every Police units in the ArgonathRPG (SA:MP) Community,

-Seperating yourself, and your police group from the ARPD/SAPD organisation is no longer allowed.
-Every on duty police units must use the main communication device, the ARPD police radio. (/r)
-When you make patrol reports, or backup requests, do that on the main radio. (/r)
-The TeamSpeak communication device is not a must, just an additional option. When you use the TeamSpeak, dont forget to update on the main radio (/r) as well.
[If you are in car chase and you driving.. its not expected, but have a partner]


Presidential Publication

1. SAPD should not distantiate from ARPD officers (freecops) but provide them with guidance and examples on how to operate outside the suspect-arrest-kill/jail cycle. Remember that most new players will lack creativity or experience to do anything else than this.
2. SAPD and its divisions are not allowed to use separate channels outside /r during operations. A CB channel for trainings, special event (this is not a code 30 or other large operation) or "fun" that would disturb the /r is possible, but if communications of an operation are done via a locked CB that means new and non-PD officers are excluded from following and getting the example.
3. This goes equally for TeamSpeak. SAPD and its divisions and subdivisions will no longer have the possibility to reclude in separate locked channels.
4. SAPD command should work to ensure maximal cooperation between departments. Within this it should be understood that the main reason for departments and subdivisions is to have more opportunities at management and command, and not to create competing entities that are separated from each other. However it should be understood that each department and subdivision can have its own style and identity, and unless SAPD rules are clearly broken, this should be allowed and even encouraged.
5. SAPD while maintaining a professional profile should not be formed in to a restrictive entity, neither should its departments or subdivisions. While there is nothing against protocols and requirements for membership, this should not go as far as to place inhibitions on the members that would give them a disadvantage in performing their duty.

Un-official/Official subgroups:

-Every police organisation must use the ARPD forums, if they wish to operate on the ArgonathRPG SA-MP server.

-You are not allowed to make up a separated police organisation outside of the SAPD. If you decide to start your own police organisation, first make proposal about the group to the chiefs (use forum PM) and the upper command staff will decide if the group is usefull or not for the main police department.

-The police units are not allowed to use different interfaces from the main police radio (/r), and the ArgonathRPG TeamSpeak server. (dont use ventrillo or other TS servers)

If you breach the new communication rules, you may get suspended/banned from police work!!

Very good. This should increase the interest in SAPD from ARPD volunteers.

[Leroy Hudson]

Glad this is in place.

[Webster]

Glad this is in place.

[Fred]

Good.

[StatuZ]

The TeamSpeak administration will be checking up on all the patrol channels, to see if what happens in there, gets reported on /r aswell.

[Alan Demarest]

Does this apply to ARPD Officers or only SAPD Cadets+?

[SafetyMoose]

Kinda BS since i think people should be able to do what they want as long as it does not break main server rules but w/e, your guys call.

[Swig]

As Hank says this is for ARPD and SAPD with other words all members of a police group.

Allright... but please dont bug the officers to make report with text.. when they are in Hot Action.. like a pursuit.. and they are happy if they can keep up with the suspect.


@Cero

yes.. everybody, only swat can be exception. FBI is different organisation anyways..

  thats different when eg swat reports "we moving in" .. in that case they use the main radio /r.., or they give team order "move left, stack up..etc" and they use cb or only ts channel.

[James Bowling]

One question.. What about Inner-Department talk.. Like lets say.

Hey Guys where are y'all patroling?

Or

Hey Guys lets meet up at the Base

[Hank_Rafferty]

in that case Jimmy... both can be used /r or /cb.. its up to the officer. If you find /r is too flooded already, use /cb for such talking.

[Nexus Riggs]

I just wonder what will happen to those freecops who doesn't know how to use /r. 
Good to see this rule put in.

Aight thanks for Clarification chief...

Now you said you were going to have this enforce and action would be taken if they did not comply.. Do you want Department leaders to be helping with that?

[Kenny]

So whatever we say in Teamspeak we have to type it up in (/r)?

So what would the point of TeamSpeak be?

[Ronnel]

I just wonder what will happen to those freecops who doesn't know how to use /r. 
Good to see this rule put in. 

I doubt that new players will know how to use /cb or log in to TeamSpeak before they know to use /r.

It's a case of sink or swim.

Quick response. While in a pursuit, you have to wait to type and update officers. With TS, you can make your statement immediately, and then type when you have a moment to pause.

[Mack]

The /cb can be used for department discussions, chit chat, jokes, etc (From what I could make sense)
But all the policing work should be informed in /r

[SafetyMoose]

Question, if i do parking Enforcement, can we use a separate CB for talking between tow trucks so it does not conflict with /r, and only use /r when on a scene of a traffic violation etc?
