SAPD today - a rant

[Jason J. Dilworth]

ACS is the most professional department from all of the others, dear Deputy Chief, please read the A.C.S. protocol to get an idea what ACS really is. ACS is 90% different from DPD.

ACS is the most professional department from all of the others, dear Deputy Chief, please read the A.C.S. protocol to get an idea what ACS really is. ACS is 90% different from DPD.

Depends really, some may like to be professional and some may like to act like some thing else such as a drunk Sheriff.
However, it's good to see you experiencing a professional team with others in your department in a RP initiative.

It depends how you RP apart from if they break a procedure.

[Oliver Daniels]

One other thing is, lets just say all of you guys are imaginary SAPD Chiefs. How are you going to bring the 'old' days? I'm am not quite sure what 'old' days you are talking about. I don't even get how 'old' days relate to anything to the future. Because either way, our job is to serve and protect. Not just some 'old' days thing you guys were in with your friends and such. Because guess what, every single thing in life changes. Everything slightly changes for more interest and movement.

I only used the 'old' days as an example of how cops still got the job done without possessing a huge armament of guns. I'm not saying that you should drop every new reform there's been and revert to the old ways - that has never been carried out successfully in the entire history of Man, but instead concentrate on promoting teamwork and barring regular officers from acting like they're part of an elite unit.
Jcs does have a good point, however, but behind the nostalgia goggles there's a shred of truth. While it's impossible to turn back time, it's not too late to take a few steps towards promoting realism and immersion. I've said it since I was new here - act like you would in real life, not like you were in a game.

I wouldn't be well liked as a chief as I'd completely ban any vehicles that aren't police cruisers or bikes and punish people for using combat shotguns/m4's. There would be a lot of resignations, but once the scarring's been done, the healing can begin.
Think of rambocops as cancer - it may not necessarily harm you for the first few years, but once it starts damaging your body, you're done for. It's better to blast yourself with chemo as soon as the cancer's discovered, causing you to be sick for a while but also considerably lessening the effects of cancer.

[Plam Knight]

Well what you are saying Oliver is indeed right and I can assure you that lately steps have been taken, first one was to restrict the buffalos only for pursuits. The teamwork you talk about actually is there, it comes from each department - training and organizing their officers, first to reach the skills to the point of perfection and second to be able to deal with these bad suspects, without using any heavy weapons or something different the police vehicle.

As well about these old days, I can tell you that there is 1 person in the command staff that was working in these old days and there is around 3 command staff members that were trained by veterans such as yourself. We all have these 2 words in our minds - "Old days" and belive me we all liked it back then, but its impossible to be the same, that's why we are looking forward and attempting to implement lessons from veterans like you and the enjoyment of the new generation in the same time.

I can tell you that suggestion such as your's, Jonny's, Jcs's, Vince's and etc... Are always welcome and we will always consider them, if you have good points to bring, such as some of your current ones.

A person gets accepted/reinstated and within 2 days he is already a Cpt. because he licked some higher ranked ass and sat with him in TS 24/7.

I know that most likely i will get denied due to " Shitting on CMD Staff", but tbh i dont really care no more.

Oh the irony where you come with these words.. Seriously, look at yourself before you talk.
And don't tell me "freedom speech" and such, because you are going off the limits.


I have personnaly implemented a Duty Violation section for the SAPD CMD to record violation files.
The violation records will consist the following;

Speeding when not reacting to a crime.
Reckless driving.
Driving on pavements (sidewalks).
Driving on wrong side of road without due cause.
Abuse of police siren when not required.
Obstructing traffic without cause.
Shooting standing still suspect
Driving a non marked vehicle
Exceeding weapon usage
Disgusting behaviour
... and more.

If you are guilty of such violation, you will be taken to the Chief's office and we will discuss it there RPly'd instead of the easy punishing way.


Now, I'm working in some particular areas in the SAPD in order to improve it in a positive way together with Pancher and the command staff. We have appropriately around 90+ members within the SAPD which is a pretty high rate.

Academy is currently developing new proposals in order to improve it. We are focusing on making more practical sessions than theoretical so that there is a movement made. I have also restricted the pursuit vehicles use in order to cease the arguments made in the ARPD.


The only thing non of you have done is, contact me or Pancher of a SAPD CMD member doing something wrong. But the easy way most people take it is making a topic which causes a argument. You are free to suggest and propose, but do not point out something which you do not know is true or false.
We are doing our best in order to fully stable the department in a good shape, yet i must admit there are a few particular areas in the SAPD which still have some fault. Which is why I'm giving my time in solving some stuff up step by step.

Words can be described, even with arguments. But the actions/implement-ions  done? Way harder with a department of 90 members+/-
I have no problems in suggestions and opinions, I am happy to read them and give my time in order to process them to make a better view for yourself which i give my effort. But don't forget, i am a full time working Deputy Chief which means i may not respond at times where i am working in something which is related in developing the SAPD.

The example i given was not directed to anyone Paul, it was simply an non existing example to proove how things go these days.
And that i do not know nothing is a total bs. I once had a very close friend from SAPD CMD staff, which name i will not specify, and as he said "If you ever get accepted into SAPD, go and patrol with some high ranks and you'll get promotions like crazy" . And it was almost true, sadly i never aimed to patrol with high ranks.

Now I see the reason, why your friend is no longer CMD. And you actually really don't know anything, from what I see so far its attention seeking, I advise you to stay off this topic, un till you have something proper to say.

[James_Hunter]

One other thing is, lets just say all of you guys are imaginary SAPD Chiefs. How are you going to bring the 'old' days? I'm am not quite sure what 'old' days you are talking about.

My fake re-work, documentation and announcement of the SAPD with this imaginary position in mind:-

San Andreas Police Department
To serve & protect.

"The rehabilitation of respect behind the department you serve, and the common goal of achieving a system that rewards team-work, tactics and initiative."

It has finally come to the attention of command, that our Officers have been empowered to the state where the national guard would consider the enforcement to be out of control, and a state of unannounced martial law has been effectively in place in our reign over the populace that we once stood up proud to assist and protect. Therefore from this monumental point onward, the SAPD will strive to condition itself for a better experience for both the players, and the officers.

I. The resource pool of the department.
II. The armoury and weaponry of the department.
III. The management of sub-divisions.
IV. Mandatory one-day-a-week training program.
V. Clear rank progression goals.
VI. The complete re-work of SWAT.


I. The resource pool of the department.

With effective immediately, the following management changes are to be made;

• The removal of "golf carts" from the SAPD garages.
• The removal of all but two buffalo high-speed pursuit vehicles at major SAPD headquarters.
• The policy of returning a squad-car to the garage after use, else fines will be issued.

The community needs the reassurances of squad-cars patrolling their roads, unmarked vehicles are not a deterrence and they encourage poor quality vehicle handling during multiple responding cars chasing down a suspect on the run.


II. The armoury and weaponry of the department.

The Wild West has had less shots fired then the State of Argonath, and therefore the following restrictions are now in place:-

• Unarmed suspects on the run cannot be fired upon, unless they have previously shot at the Officer.
• The command /weaponequip may only be used under approval of a Lieutenant or higher, and only at major scenes.
• The mismatched equipment that Officers have taken to wearing across the state should be checked in with a more senior officer, to see if you look presentable for the community (hats, vests, etc).

III. The management of sub-divisions.

Sub-divisions are still actively encouraged among the SAPD, how-ever private ranking systems can no longer be implemented, you must carry out the responsibilities you have been trained to undertake and not assume the mantle unless clearly ready to engage in such, with written permission from command staff. You must also present a monthly report to this public board to demonstrate that your group is providing the community with a boon, and that officers are being correctly taught under your watch.

Furthermore if you are called to purpose for regular duties away from your sub-division, you are first and foremost an SAPD officer and this always takes priority.


IV. Mandatory one-day-a-week training program.

As command has finally realized that we have such an abundance of staff eagerly ready to prove themselves, or find themselves in a more suitable position, the mandatory SAPD officer training and upkeep program has finally been realized and put to use, effective immediately, every Saturday evening at 6.00pm GMT!

• Community policing; handling the various ethnics of the population of San Andreas.
• Pursuits; rolling blockades in numbers when in a vehicle chase. (Be shown that you don't need a buffalo to do police work, get more pride from it).
• Escalation drills; when to react with aggression and when not to.
• First Response Units; find out what to do when you are all alone and first to a major situation.
• The '4 C's'; discover what it means to - clear, cordon, control, confirm, and just how effective this simple method is to tactical policing in any situation.
• Tactical Movement; gain insight to basic tactical movement during a shoot out or house clearence

This list will be updated over time and not all of it can be covered every training session, but areas will be focused upon instead - command staff can select what they think needs to be worked on, but everything needs to be covered at least once a month from each department.


V. Clear rank progression goals.

The commanding elements recognize our Officers desires to progress and show achievement, therefore the following stages have been implemented to show you just how to reach the rank of Senior Officer, and what to do if you want to move on further then that.

White Phase

1. Demonstrate basic road knowledge for your city.
2. Conduct radio communication through codes.
3. Display a continual outward respect to the community, even when it barks and bites at you.
4. Maintain good vehicle driving skills, be seen to keep to the limits.

Red Phase

1. Attend at least one month of training weekends, as talked about in IV.
2. Present the attitude of "exhaust all options" before engaging a suspect with a fire-arm. All life is to be protected. Innocent UNTIL proven guilty.
3. Demonstrate the willingness to work with a team, how-ever small, even if just for a blockade.
4. Consider the use of Teamspeak, even if just to listen to reports (optional).

Yellow Phase

1. Attend at least two months of training weekends, as talked about in IV.
2. Be seen to actively mentor new officers to the ways of the SAPD.
3. Demonstrate initiative and control blockades on your own, as shown during training.
4. Understand that all this is to your benefit, await to be approached regarding rank, do not seek it.

Blue Phase

1. Maintain the status you are now at, for you will soon be recognized as an asset to the SAPD.



VI. The complete re-work of SWAT.

Reworking SWAT in to a tactical response team, to encourage organized roleplayers crime and create a genuinely enjoyable situation for all, not a death squad that squawks insults and creates a clique. I'll leave it at that, to avoid flaming, and if you really want me to show you i'll put together a film to make it blindingly obvious - but just follow these guys around for a day and you'll see just how great they are ... at killing people.


I did that all in about 40min? I didn't even extensively research or apply trains of thought, you ask what the "old days" are? It's when people had nerve to actually be strong of character and enforce some sort of cohesive team throughout the police force, today it's really sad - and so when you hear the "old days"? That's what people are referring toward. P.S - a one month long application process? Oxford university replies quicker!

[Plam Knight]

James really nice work there, for the 1 month you are really back, except the past 2 years and half inactive, that you were away doing something different, most of us worked here and belive me we all had fresh ideas, but boost runs out after several months, now we are trying to be reasonable and in the same time improve SAPD. I really like this fire you have there, but would it be the same if you weren't inactive for the past 2 years and half ?

First post in the whole topic which made me take in consideration.
But as i said - words are easily said, the actions and implementions take? Several time for it to be processed.

I cannot say all of this will be reviewed, some of it will be ticked off due to the vision of the SAPD. But a positive thing i can say to you is that i will certainly take this under-review.

[James_Hunter]

James really nice work there, for the 1 month you are really back, except the past 2 years and half inactive, that you were away doing something different, most of us worked here and belive me we all had fresh ideas, but boost runs out after several months, now we are trying to be reasonable and in the same time improve SAPD. I really like this fire you have there, but would it be the same if you weren't inactive for 2 years and half ?

I can understand you might feel tired, but Plam my friend, that's not an exscuse you see in history anywhere at all for letting standards slip, even if fault rests on no soul single individual, there should always be "fire" enough to ensure measures are in place - or passing the "fire" (or torch) on to someone that can continue to enforce what you did long ago. The police force is just completely out've control in terms of management, it's like nobody knows where to begin or to do what any more, so if I was chief? That's an example of how i'd go about it.

That you're taking it in to review, Paul? That's great news! Implementation is easier then you think if you offer rewards to those underneath you that can help, that's how the chain of command is supposed to work, it is difficult - I agree - but that's the test of leadership.

[[Rstar]Paul]

Yeah no worries, just give me sometime so i can review it when i am available today or so. Got a lot of things up for me at the moment, obviously with the help of command.

[Swig]

We just have to accept that SAPD is going forwards and changes has to be made to keep it up to date.
But the point of James is good, the standard should not be hard to maintain..

And also in old days if a cop showed great cop work it was not necessary to use all this time wasting away on academy...
It should go a line between those who are not that experienced and so on.. if the leaders have seen them in action in game for example..

 

[Jonny O'Sullivan]

Nicely written James. If most of this was implemented then we would have a great police force. As James said it's alot easier to than you think for this to happen, there are alot of people alongside you Paul wanting to help out. You're not alone in this.

Forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't SWAT supposed to handle high-risk situations where there's a good chance people will start shooting? 

[Orel]

SWAT is doing very well on the field,we do both special response and tactical situations.

[Jay_Adams]

Forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't SWAT supposed to handle high-risk situations where there's a good chance people will start shooting? 

If that's the case then why does every Officer have a firearm?
If SWAT responds to every situation where there's a chance people 'will' start shooting, then surely it's not required for 'normal' Officers to have a weapon, as logically and practically it'd be a redundant and unessential tool as 'SWAT' would always handle such situations of which would require the use of firearms.

Yet that is not the case, as in Argonath we know it is a constant (high) threat and an inevitability that an Officer will come under fire; and therefore it'd be retardation to send him or her out on patrol without the ability to defend themselves: therefore Officers are trained (or should be) to handle such 'common' threats without the need to call in SWAT, unless the situation is escalated to require such a department to intervene.   

SWAT should be a tactical advantage that SAPD has: not one of which SAPD is dependent on.
SWAT should be the last resort, the final elevation of force: when ALL ELSE has failed. (Negotiations, Intimidation etc...)

SWAT should be, and in the past has been a LIFE SAVING ORGANISATION, NOT A LIFE TAKING ONE

[Nicholas Baker]

SWAT should be, and in the past has been a LIFE SAVING ORGANISATION, NOT A LIFE TAKING ONE

If I remember right, in one of the 9 lessons of 2 academy system editions away we had this small but important sentence which goes like this;

"Apprehending the subject is our main goal, eliminating the subject is a last resort choice"

If you wanna roleplay being a Sheriff and want to be drunk in the rusty golden roads - ACS/DPD is your option

You seem marvellously uninformed, really. I'll tell you now that ACS is probably the most professional department in the whole SAPD. We're not just drunkards, and Sheriff Reece has worked HIS ASS OFF to make the ACS how it is today. Through extra applications, and strict guidelines which perhaps you haven't cared to look at, we're much more organised than the city boys.

That, my dear Deputy Chief, is progress. You seem to have missed it.

ACS is the most professional department from all of the others, dear Deputy Chief, please read the A.C.S. protocol to get an idea what ACS really is. ACS is 90% different from DPD.

^ This is pure truth. Also, the 10% similarity is:
- Some of the same people
- Same colour cars
- Same area

We're not the same.
