San Andreas Police Department | Q&A

[James Moretti]

Or just enforce it as a department.. that'd solve the problem. Make it clear that abandoning duty vehicles will not be tolerated and deal with offenders accordingly.

[Andrew Banks]

I think it was CBF that said this, but I may be wrong

But what if you die as a cop, your car will be in the middle of no where and I know none of you will go and get it back.
Thats why we encourage teamworking, this way you can always get your vehicle back without having to waste other vehicles.

[Will]

I agree with you Dean.
I would really love to see it in the Regulations and Procedures.

Andrew, there will always be cops who will work alone and won't return their vehicle.

I can see it now.

"Officer X copbanned for 1 day. Reason: leaving car at previous scene

It's not going to happen.

Not every violation results in a copban.
Officers never get punished for driving a state car for instance, just questioned.

I have an idea about bringing one more weapon to our standard weaponry. It is the Pump Action Shotgun. Why? Because, almost daily, I see suspects who wield powerful guns as Deagles, Shotguns or even M4s sometimes. I already know that it is a standard weapon in SAPD's Procedures and Rules and that it can be bought at an Ammunation, but not every officer has got the necessary money to buy one when there's such a suspect on the loose. This Shotgun can be good in knocking suspects down to the floor and temporarly paralysing their moves. Of course, it might be made as a ''secondary'' Standard Weapon, usage should be allowed only with heavily armed suspects as mentioned. Any opinions on this?

The only thing Shotgun is effective at is drive-bying and when you want a less-lethal approach to the suspect, since it does less damage than Deagle and is practically useless if the suspect is well armed.

Lieutenant Ferreira used to equip everyone an armor and a shotgun as standard equipment.
Not sure what happened to Lieutenant Ferreira

Shotguns take half of your health if all pellets hit(must be close range obv.) and shotguns penetrate cover. It is a powerful weapon.

Hello,

As I have been recently researching about the police codes, I have found that code "10-6" seemed to be used sometimes in police radio. So to clarify, is 10-6 an official code for us to follow? Or we have already abandoned the code 10-6 since RS4?
Ref:
Andrew's topic on Meaning and usage of codes
Official Police Code for SAPD

Thanks a lot.

Ronald "Albert" Rosso

[Milano Alvarez]

The official radio codes you can find here. Officer Banks' topic is irrelevant due to the fact the 10-6 code was wiped off by Commissioner Fasi and Former CoP Knight.

[Andrew Banks]

Any update on the 10-6 thing?

Will be added back in.

Just sayin'

[Milano Alvarez]

Obviously it's not added back in and I have not seen any official notice of this, so considering, it's not back in the code list yet.

[Will]

Not possible. Officers roleplay and are sometimes out of their car for 2 hours.
Roleplays can last much longer without anyone entering their car

Then how about this?:
All vehicles in the garage will automatically respawn every 5/10 minutes.
That would at least solve the mess in the garage.

[Allison]

There's no real way of telling if the vehicles are in the garage or not, so it wouldn't solve the mess. The only way I could possibly think of is a regulation that could result in a verbal warning for the first offense, then any later offenses come to somewhat of a harsher punishment. It doesn't have to be a copban. That's just my two-cents.

That is what I thought at the beginning, but Mike said he can't imagine this as a rule in the regulation.

Indeed you can't make a rule for placing back vehicles imagine that people still do crash and die these vehicles won't return itself so you still have the same problem you can't punish officers for leaving there car if they die or crash.

[Milano Alvarez]

It is possible to make such a regulation, but it will be messy with a lot of holes in it. People could crash, people could time-out etcetera. The only way to make this regulation work is to appoint a patrol car to a set of partners. This way you will have your own squad car, though, I do not see it happening.

This is a very great suggestion! Give each SAPD Snr,Officer+  a vehicle with a unique ID that they must use and they will take care of it themselves.
