San Andreas Police Department | Q&A

[Edmund]

Some ideas i had...

1. A visible board to reinstatement requests, something like the normal recruitment boards, it would be nice to see any new in the progress

2. When SAPD get a higher number of Officers - Bring Back the Sub-Divisions - DPD, LSPD, SFPD, LVPD, it would be more organised...

Sorry for the extremely late reply.

These boards are currently restricted so command can discuss the verdict and deliberate about the request in private. I'm not sure if this should be changed as the system currently works fine.

2. When SAPD get a higher number of Officers - Bring Back the Sub-Divisions - DPD, LSPD, SFPD, LVPD, it would be more organised...

The current system was recently re-developed and works really fluent. There are not plans to re-organize everything again at this point. After evaluation the current system has appeared effective and there's not really a good reason to go back to the old ways. Everything that the seperate sub-divisions offered is also available in our current Field Operations Bureau, which is basically a merge of all old departments.


I hope the above resolves your concerns. If there are any follow-up questions I will leave those for my superiors to answer as this is all I know myself.

I was thinking yesterday a idea related to suspects evading on high speed bikes.
The idea is to add bikes at HSIU since it's really hard to keep up with bikes with the Police Bike.
And also it's not that easy to chase a NRG/FCR/PCJ with a bullet because bullet/cheetah cannot enter places that a NRG can.
Anyone has any future plan regarding that?

There has been an entire plan set up for a high speed bike division, formerly known as SMU. This was later deemed not fitting the requirements and was replaced with K9U.

Adding a single bike to the HSU group would indeed be a nice suggestion and I'll personally forward it to command.

Just a little question,

I just saw two cadets getting fired for the same reason. The only difference was the punishment - one was honorably discharged, another one was unhonorably discharged.
Why?

[Lionel Valdes]

Hello Huntsman,

As it is improper to refer to specific people here, my answer is general and you can apply it to this case. While the distinction between an honourable and dishonourable discharge is marginal, in this case it wasn't.

An honourable termination can be seen as a friendly version of discharge, from my perspective, it is issued when the reason involves inactivity along with another respectable factor, i.e  justified with some effort, unjustified with a lot of effort, etcetera. You can look at it from this angle.

Furthermore, a dishonourable discharge is an option when the reason contains an action that is intolerable in nature. For instance, severe misconduct, insubordination, repeated minor offenses, and so on. You can now picture not doing anything at all as a member of the department something worthy of a dishonourable discharge at this point.

All in all, questions arise as in if this distinction is recognised globally within the department. This is a considerable point which I will personally try to address in the near future. In the meanwhile, my answer has been helpful, hopefully.

Best regards.

We need SAPD mountain bikes re-spawned.

Hello Monte,

We addressed this issue to HQ around a week ago as you requested it via Chief King, it was rejected by HQ.

Hi,

sorry i posted under wrong topic before, I was wondering would it be at all possible for SAPD recruits to have unmarked patrol four door sedans?

also would sapd ever consider getting a towtruck with sirens?

I know swat i think has a burrito van but maybe SAPD could have white one with sirens for prisoner transport?

1. SAPD recruiters shall use marked PD cruiser which is colored black and white and that is applicable for all SAPD members starting from recruiters and will not be changed
2. It's a good idea that SAPD shall have towtruckers and impound illegally parked cars, I can tell you we will think about it.
3. That is not a big issue since you transport prisoners to the department using your cruiser, so no need for specific cars for that.

I hope I answered you.

One situation that occurred earlier this evening.

I witnessed seven units pursue one suspect (he was using a NRG) for something that probably didn't even require so many units.  I just find this a complete waste of resources, at bare minimum you only need two units pursuing and if they need additional backup they should ask.  Having seven units in a pursuit causes nothing but chaos, not to mention it just looks ridiculous. 

It seems nowadays people just jump into chasing a suspect soon as they see someone got suspected.  Put a little thought into it first, ask over the radio if the suspecting unit needs backup if not then continue on your patrol..

I wish to ask, what is SAPD's stance on unofficial groups? Does SAPD tolerate them and if they prove themselves, are they willing to cooperate with them? The most fun I had while policing in Argonath was when I was part of unofficial departments, such as BCSD. I'd be looking forward to re-expierience such fun, if only current SAPD policies allow it.

Never had a issue with people making their own unofficial departments and roleplay as long as the still follow the rules and regulations of the SAPD.

The SAPD is open for cooperation with any unofficial law enforcement group, as well as unconditional support if the aims and objectives of this group do not contradict with those of the department nor seek to intervene in the duties of an already existing division. With that said, the stance of the SAPD is positive.

Consider that the department understands that it is nearly impossible to operate far away from other groups that would specialize in a specific aspect of law enforcement. Therefore, we welcome initiative with wide arms as part of our vision of 'continuous development of the field of law enforcement'.

I hope that these answers have been helpful to you. If you have any further enquiries, please do not hesitate to use this topic again.

Best regards.

Does opening a specialised Sheriffs Department comply with the "aims and objectives of this group do not contradict with those of the department nor seek to intervene in the duties of an already existing division" part? Since SAPD does not seem to have a dedicated Sheriffs department or anything of that sort?

As Lawrence said, There is no problem since it falls under the regulations and rules of the SAPD. And why SAPD is not have such a sheriffs department is because of lack of player-count, however we may open such department in the future if the player-count increases for sure.

Could somebody please provide the time of the upcoming SAPD event in the CET (server /time) format?

Could somebody please provide the time of the upcoming SAPD event in the CET (server /time) format?

GMT +1 apparently is 1 hour before CET, so it would be 20:30 CET (/time)
