March 10th
I followed a Suspect using a Police Maverick throughout Las Venturas, Bone County and Tierra Robada.
My Updates allowed several Officers to Join the Pursuit, where the Suspect was killed at Bayside Marina.

I responded with Officer Gareth Jackson to a Call at Los Santos Airport about a Bomb onboard an Airplane.

March 11th
Joined a Patrol Group under Sergeant Sam Smith and participated in a Drug Sting.

Also stopped a Suspect on an NRG by ramming him off the Bike.
I drove the Bike away and allowed the other Officers to arrest the Suspect.

I'd like to take a moment to clear things up.

I Joined Argonath RPG back in 2008 for a Day only as I was already comitted to another Server. I returned in Febuary 2010 full time and began using my Account again. I thought Argonath was a proper RP server like every other i'd been on before. On my first days as a Freecop, I began reporting suspects who bunnyhopped. I was ignored by Admins because all this stuff was allowed in Argonath. I got frustrated with making the effort in being a Professional Roleplayer and Police Officer to be killed deathmatch-style. I stopped all this and just began focusing on catching the 'orange people'. I started using tactics like bunnyhopping, rush-spraying and hitting suspects with my car to knock them down before exiting my Car. Thats when I posted the Comment: I Only Play Here For Some Cops & Robbers. Thats really what I was doing now, but still kept to the server rules, not firing on standing suspects, asking to surrender and such. It was solely based on this comment that I was fired from my Senior Officer role in the SFPD. No action was ever taken to look into my duties in the Server to determine if I was breaking any rules.

I later made a complaint against the SAPD for being Wrongfully Fired. I asked to be reinstated or to have the reason changed to something else. I gained support from several Officers applauding my Roleplaying ability. I was even promoted to Officer and SWAT Operative from Freecop without any Training. My complaint was closed by Captain Giac, and after a month, locked and moved to Closed Investigations without an Answer, before being deleted from the Forum a Day later. It was also Captain Giac who read my Cops and Robbers comment and explaining it to higher command what HE thought it meant, before even asking me.

I felt Ray Carter had been discredited so much that I thought I'd be judged badly because I was fired.

I've decided to retire that Character and start over like everyone else.
I'm not going to try and post another Complaint or Appeal to be rehired as it's just too long ago to bring up again.

Those who conspired against me have since retired or been fired, and I can see good people who'll support me whenever I'm in need.

I'd like to thank everyone who vouched for me, but unfortunatly it wasn't enough to help out of the hole I was thrown in.

I spent most of today as Air Support using the Police Maverick.

I was able to Suspect several Criminals who where shooting at Police,
allowing the Officers to focus on defending themselves.

[ThomasHumphreys]

March 13th
Been kinda crap day. Spent most of my time as Air Support again.

Was chasing Suspects, updating their location with no response from ground units. I gave up chasing them and just returned to Patrol.
Been DM'ed by a VETERAN Player, Reports went unanswered. I got to Jail three Suspects though, so I earned $4500.

Hopefully, I'll get Cadet status soon and I can get some proper support from my fellow Officers in the LVPD.

I didn't spend much time as Air Support today, I was mainly out in my Police Sultan.

I watched over a Mower Derby to watch for event ruiners.

I also chased a Suspect to Ocean Docks where he kept swimming around in the water.
I called for a Boat or Rescue Chopper which came and the Suspect surrendered.

On my way back to the LVPD, I ran into Lieutenant Nicolas Baker in Red County.
The Suspect was in Gvardia so I stopped to assist. He tried to steal my Sultan but I'd locked it.
I shot him through the window before he could drive away.

[ThomasHumphreys]

March 15th
I started today out on Patrol in my Sultan. I chased a Suspect on an NRG.
He crashed near Ocean Docks and shot him when he ran for his Bike instead.

I joined a Patrol Team under Lieutenant Nicholas Baker, and Officer Chris Williams.
We chased a reckless Infurnus through Las Venturas, Bone County and Tierra Robada.
The Driver crashed and fled on foot, then opened fire on us when cornered. He died.

[iRonald]

Hmm.. Good luck.

March 16th
I went on Air Support duty for the first half of today.
I landed on a rooftop near GS9 to provide support while Officers arrested a suspect.
Guns were exchanged before everyone started firing. I delivered the final shot on three suspects.

I went on Patrol in a cruiser for the rest of the day. Got frustrated trying to chase Infurnus's.

Had to keep switching channels in Teamspeak. Being left out of patrol operations.

[ThomasHumphreys]

March 17th
Highlight of today was joining a Patrol Group led by Officer Gareth Jackson and by Sergeant Sam Smith.
Out of the 8 other Officers, I was picked as the Air Unit. It was nice to know where my skills were needed most.
I got much support from ground units as I followed a Pursuit and gave out updates to their location.

I later went on lone Patrol and assisted the SWAT Team in chasing two cop killers.
One was arrested by SWAT which I transported to the LVPD. The other was killed after being cornered by the FBI.
The Suspect which I jailed had since been released and attempted to rescue the other Suspect. Both were killed.
I shot one Suspect through the passenger side window before his foot even hit the Gas. +1

Your application has been accepted into the SAPD Cadet Academy - in this academy you will learn the core values and procedures that a SAPD Officer must learn and embrace to be able to be the absolute best he possibly can. You will be observed ingame by every member of the SAPD, so it is YOUR responsibility to act professionally at ALL times!

From the moment you are accepted onwards, you should be learning the regulations and procedures to be able to carry out your cop work to the absolute best of your ability - this will give you the skills and experience to make it into the SAPD and to continue to be the best cop you possibly can be. The SAPD is not for everyone, so checking out the regulations and procedures will also give you a chance to see whether or not you're cut out for the SAPD or not.

You are NOW a SAPD Cadet, and you are expected to behave and work in a respectful way to the General Public and your fellow police officers. Failure to do so could result in the termination of you from the SAPD.

The academy will consist of 9 sessions, one pre-exam exam and your officer exam, which can be given to you from any Academy Senior Member or SAPD Command Staff Member. (Lt +).

IMPORTANT! You must reply at LEAST once per week in your application topic to let us know how you're going or if you have any questions, or else you risk being rejected from the SAPD due to lack of interest. It's your responsibility to show your activity, NOT ours.

Finnaly To Avoid Confusion I want to inform you that you can start requesting lessons on 27/03/2011. The reason for this is our 7 day waiting period. Please do not request lessons before this prescribed date. This is just an Informative message.

What exactly was I doing as an LVPD Recruit?

As a Recruit, It doesn't look like I've achieved much and now I'm a recruit and finally about to begin Training.
I thought by being an LVPD Recruit, I'd be trained by the LVPD and become an SAPD Officer.
I put in an Application and posted daily like everyone else, but not everyone else is a Recruit.
