San Andreas Police Department | Q&A

[Jimmy Ross]

Investigation - a searching inquiry for ascertaining facts; detailed or careful examination.

If you've already saw the fact of crime, there is no need to investigate. If you've seen with your own eyes that it was valid, why try prove validity or not again?

True, but usually admins threats to ban if i wont investigate, even thought i've saw crime with own eyes... Admins should have get informate about this.

[Jcstodds]

I've saw the crime, but suspect wants investigation. Admin arraives. Admin says that i'll have to, but ARPD statement says that not, since i've saw the crime. What to do? Investigate, keep saying that i dont have to or get banned? :S

  If you saw the crime, you should at least question them why they committed it. If nothing else but for the sake of roleplaying. I usually do this on the drive back, cause sometimes there might be circumstances that may earn more lenient or more severe punishment.

  Cause you saw the crime, it is not an excuse for instant jail (if they want instant jail then they wont be complaining for investigation I assume). They should still be processed in some RP way. The fact that you saw the crime makes investigations very, very simple!

 Might be worth taking into account that investigation in practically the same as processing, just with more questions.



  Also admins wont ban if you don't investigate - it is not related to server rules, please do not BS on admins, send email to [email protected].

Oh, i got new question.. Is that true that suspects doesn't have to /gu? I'm might get sue'ed for beating a suspect, because i was going to force him to /gu. He just /hail'ed. So, what's real story? Admin said that no need of /gu...

[Tovenaarke]

I prefer an Always-investigate-rule 

What happend before?
What was in the minds of the suspect?
What was the reason?

Waste of time? not realy... it is just a communication thing 

[Leroy Hudson]

Role play searching them.. (try not strip search :leroy:)

also you can simply do background checks, or as said above check the cause

[Tovenaarke]

Ofc RP! We are an RPG server

  To surrender, suspects can /hail /hide /l " I surrender" etc - anything like this that indicates without doubt that they have surrendered = they surrender. After surrender they cannot run or fight. If they do seek out admin immediately. They must still comply as if they were /gu, but you cannot force them to /gu to cuff them, you can /me cuffs. 

  Equally, if criminal surrenders with RP method, cops cannot threaten or beat them to force to /gu. But also criminals should be aware that /gu was made to protect THEM from abusive cops.

  If suspect does /hail and puts his hands in the air, think of it a bit like RL (or movie), cop would not start beating him shouting "/gu!" 

[JDC]

As long as the suspect surrenders, regardless if he / she uses /gu or /hail, they are surrendered and cannot run from cops. Faking surrender has and will always be disallowed on the server.

Question: Why does the LSPD has less medals then other departments? Is it department-linked? If so, can we give suggestions for 'new medals'?

There are SAPD medals that are inter-departmentalized.. e.g. Meritorious, Life Saving, etc.

Then, there are intra-departmentalized medals. These are medals used by one specific department.

[Tovenaarke]

Thank you!

[Leroy Hudson]

And yes Tove, you may give suggestions for these Local Department medals, suggest to your Command staff!

[Tovenaarke]

I just passed them to Jonathan Sir!

Dark blue name = Command Staff, it's always been there, its just shown in more places now.
Normal blue = SAPD, high ranked, non command staff
None= SAPD/Civilian
Light blue = Cadet
Red= Webmaster/Owner
