San Andreas Police Department | Q&A

[Jake Parker]

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.

And what will the SAPD officers and Probationary officer be using? and will they keep away the mess? Think not we Always bring back cars the Regular officers are the one who just go off in idlewood etc. As i do notice each higher ranked officer is bringing back his vehicle doesn't matter how the vehicle looks like. As this is being told to me and every other Senior Officer +.

[Milano Alvarez]

Good question, Jake. We can ofcourse assign a PD cruiser to everyone on the SAPD member list, but for the people that come and go.. what will we do.

[Jake Parker]

Hmm the idea for the whole department will be great but what do the scripters think about it? And the chief itself?

Edit; And the fact that new officers joining in duty every day how will we get a vehicle for them? As if they join in duty they are in the member list of SAPD too.

Question to our "enlisted" Officers (Probationary+) what can we do to feel more appreciative towards you guys?  Should we have some sort of monthly awards scheme to recognize those who should be recognized? 
I feel like we aren't doing our best on this front, would love to read your replies.

[Jake Parker]

Based on awards is never a bad idea is it? Hard working people may feel that they get paid by at least awards or something on there time and efford spending in the SAPD is it? (My opinion)

[Rusty.]

If we could issue regular paychecks we would, just don't have the funds to do so.

What ever happened to Officer of the Month? Maybe give Special Acknowledgement to Officers that have preformed exceptionally (I don't mean like extra attention to those that are already known as good officers but others, for putting effort into the SAPD)...

Good suggestion. Positive response to hard work is always motivating.

Why isn't there a normal patrol (not an organized patrol) report we can post on a desk?

[Milano Alvarez]

Be creative, make your own format. On the other hand, you can post them in the 'Personnel Desk' area.

That's what I meant.

Well hello.
I got this idea today and my idea is about scripted tickets.
Today I was patrolling around in the morning and I saw allot of abandoned owned cars parked illegaly and I started RPing ticked them.
Basically what I am presenting here is to make the ticketed scriptly.
Basic command will be:
/ticket <ID> <Reason> <Amount>
and
/ticket <here can be plate number or vehicle ID> <Reason> <Amount>

You would think that where should this tickets be paid. Well the paying place might me in front of the desk in LSPD or in front of the desk in LSCH. All the money will go at the government.

/discuss.

/ticket <here can be plate number or vehicle ID> <Reason> <Amount>

It's a nice idea but I don't think that this command would be usefull for state vehicles as you do not "own" them.
And maybe add that the player got a week to pay the ticket in the bank so they don't have to pay the officer but the state to make it more realistic.

Also, keep in mind that those commands might be abused.
A way to see the written tickets would be awesome for the SAPD command including a way to remove tickets due abuse.

I actually support this suggestion, but if this feature will be implemented in the future,
I want to suggest that it would only be available for SAPD members (senior officers +) since new players/cops would do that for fun or to test.

Question:
Is the ceremony gonna be completely blocked for public or are civilians able to attend in SWAT HQ?
And also, is there gonna be a convoy from LSPD to LVPD or something smiliar?

Unknown for any convoy from one of the Departments, will tell closer to the time.  I personally don't want general public involved as it tends to cause disruption with someone always deciding to play the server clown or using stupid "/me snores or /me farts".  If I had to say now, more than likely we'll disallow general public to enter but those on duty are free to attend long as they can behave.  Those who come to simply ruin it will be removed from the server.

Greetings old collegues!

As I had some complains from civilians about unneed trafic stops, I would like to add a small line...

"If you want to do a trafic stop, make sure you do it for a valid reason"

"Valid reasons":
- Wreckless driving
- Speeding
- Accident
- Beeing a suspect
-...

AND NOT:
- Because you drove along
- There is nothing else to do

This will increas the main goal from the ARPD: Helping civilians...
It will stop the greatest frustration of civilians:waisting useless time and unneed suspections.

Please consider

[DarkShadowBlade]

This.

[Tovenaarke]

I'm sorry. Can someone merge this please?

If not, you can lock it and I'll rewrite...
