[[Rstar]Paul]

I'm accepted some days ago. I'm assigned to the LSPD.

Am I allowed to as a training to somebody who is not in my district ?

I presume "as" is "ask"

Anyway, yes you may.

A late extension to this. Any of the Captains can help you, but if I'm not wrong; Paul, you asked us to train our jurisdiction cadets first?

[[Rstar]Paul]

Any cadet. But usually the cadets in your department contact you first.

Is suspecting someone who is already a suspect allowed if they do another crime?

Is suspecting someone who is already a suspect allowed if they do another crime?

No re-suspecting is not allowed at any point, but of course you should consider all his crimes in his jail sentence.
There is one misleading situation such as - if someone abuses suspect with stupid reason and the person who is being abused doesn't stop and /gu, then he makes even the nonsense crime valid by evading, but you don't need to re-suspect him.

Alright thanks, but would unsuspecting be allowed if a suspect is suspected twice, even if he did a crime?

No if the person really did commit a crime, he shouldn't be unsuspected otherwise might be considered corruption/abuse.

Are the SAPD officers allowed to join the OCU task force as long as it takes orders from SAPD and FBI command, and does not break any of the SAPD rules and regulations?

[Plam Knight]

Mistake was taken against the rule - Removed to not cause confusion

[James Moretti]

They won't. I will give you my word.

ARTP already operates this way, but once i asked you if SAPD officers are allowed to join, i was told that theyre not

[Desmond Martel]

Yes, SAPD officers can join any unofficial division as far as those points are not broken:
- The group doesn't break any SAPD rules/reguations.
- The group always takes ARPD's Chain of command as primary.

I'm not in any way a spokesperson and in the interest of full disclosure I make this note as myself, not as any representative of the SAPD or their expressed or unwritten interests. That being said, I feel I may be able to provide insight on this while a more conclusive and official response is pending.

SAPD members are permitted to join unofficial police divisions so long as those aforementioned points are met, that much is clear officially. However, it should also be readily clear that those points are very liquid in their nature and as such it would be perhaps too bold to go far as to say a specific group, say ARTP as pure example, is or is not acceptable. That being said, it can be reasoned that the burden falls on the SAPD officers themselves. They must use their discretion to ensure that they are not in any way violating the policies and protocols set forth. That also being established, one must understand that then the officer must themselves recognize when the group would no longer be considered permissible and when they should leave it or expect SAPD punishment or termination. So while yes SAPD staff are permitted to join ARTP and other unofficial divisions, they must recognize and understand that their duties and responsibilities to the SAPD come forefront to that of any other law enforcement group and they must govern what they do accordingly.

Again, that's in large part based on what I've personally experienced, read, and heard. It does not in any way reflect official policy, but I do feel it finds itself applicable and may help you better understand why there may be so much confusion about the topic.

[Lionel Valdes]

Counter-answer: What are you talking about man, Paul's words are clear, no SAPD member is allowed to join an unofficial division.

[Desmond Martel]

In my short time here I've spent far more than enough time talking to Paul to know that that clear cut policy you claim is not, in fact, the policy enforced nor supported. It's simply not that simple, as it were.

[[Rstar]Paul]

The contemptuous and ironic part of SAPD joining any un-official group is that SAPD / FBI fill up the obligations and objectives the group is there for most of the time.
ARTP for example has a main objective for traffic, that is one main duty for SAPD Officers, to perform and initiate traffic operations.

Frankly, It's quite impractical for SAPD / FBI to join such groups when they already have to fill that task themselves, not to mention we have strict policies in joining or creating un-official policing groups.
Remember that SAPD is inclusive and not exclusive. The combination may conflict.
