San Andreas Police Department | Q&A

[Henry_Blaze]

SUGGESTION: Every present and future officers should have teamwork and organization training.

All officers (especially higher-ranked) should have some leadership skills. The training should involve listening to orders, quick and efficient exectution and giving them out to other, usually lower-ranked cops (including freecops).

Why this suggestion? Because at most of the actions I've taken part in (kidnappings, today's drug bust) lack of organization. It's limited to "all units get here", optionally issued armor, "wait for signal", "go go go" and jail/kill the targets. But I haven't seen any "units xx, yy, zz, redirect traffic", "units aa bb cc get into position and wait for signal", "all remaining units guard entrance and area around". There are just no specific orders given out, just objectives.

Maybe if this training will get issued, ARPD could be a bit better organized.

If i would get chance to lead 207. 
Thats true, i think mostly freecops just dont know what to do and just run to suspects and shoot.
Some organization by higher ranks would be realy awsome. I would like to hear someone ordering me around.

Situation:

Passengers in a vehicle.

Questions:

A) Passenger bolts out of the car and runs during a traffic stop - The driver is the violator, the passenger has committed no real crime. Here in California, we can chase them. In Argonath, have they committed a crime?

B) Can a passenger of a vehicle be searched as well as the driver?

C) When pursuing a vehicle, has the passenger committed a crime as well? If so, what criminal act?

C) When pursuing a vehicle, has the passenger committed a crime as well? If so, what criminal act?

A) You can chase him, I think you can also /su for evading (NOT SURE)

B) The passenger can be searched also.

C) When the passenger is doing nothing (no drive-by etc) he hasn't done any crime. But as soon as the suspect stops, and the passenger goes with him (evading on foot, changing vehicle) I think he committed a crime.

This is how I think of it, let's let someone of the senior staff deal with this

[Panda]

Yea you should be able to chase him, he may have taken the driver's illegal goods or something.

[Bianconeri]

1) he hasnt comitted any crime, but that he runs away means he hides something,
so you might chase him and search him

2)thomas is right,  you can

3) no, only when he really helps the suspect he commits a crime,
when just sitting he isnt comitting any crime

[[Rstar]Vince]

1) Ideal would be to keep one unit with the driver, and let one officer chase after the suspect, warning him to stop and if not suspect as Panda stated he could be taking the driver's illegal paraphernalia.

2) Yes.

3) If you're in the middle of the chase and quite certain that the person looks like they'd aid use the megaphone to warn the passenger to exit the vehicle, if they don't, you can suspect them for disobeying police orders. Again, ideally, just wait until the car blows up, if the passenger goes with the suspect then you can suspect them for aiding.

I think we really need a pursuit 10 code:

10-31 As nexxt suggested or 10-80. Implementing this code would save a lot of time from typing out "U69 in pursuit of suspect heading southbound through marina" to "U69 10-80 southbound through marina". Its just a hassle to type it all out plus it will be one of the most used 10 codes on the police radio.. tell me what you think.

[jemerson]

10-80 is the national standard

Question:

When is SAID ready to start? I'm intrested 

[Thomas_Crof]

Question:

When is SAID ready to start? I'm intrested 

SAID?

And yes, I agree with the 10-80 code Maybe also add a code for "backup required" instead of using "code 3 at LSPD"(example) ?

[Tovenaarke]

SAID?[...]

Here

[[R*]Pancher]

Tovenaarke, it's restricted to Lieutenant and above, i suggest you ask your questions about it in those topics. 

[Tovenaarke]

Sorry sir,

I taught it was made public after the topics that has been made. My mistake sorry!

San Andreas... Ixxx department? D:

[Pazienza]

Situation:
A civilian told us of a drug dealer and organizes a deal in a place. When the dealer is showing the goods we approach and arrest him. But while we are cuffing him he gives the drugs to the civilian who helped us - the civilian suddenly gives the police the drugs.

Question:
Does he have to pay the drugs?
(( He got almost banned by Cutter for scamming, and finally had to pay something like 5000$ to the dealer.. But, well.. IRL it's as if the civilian is with the police, so since the police doesn't pay the drugs why should he pay if he gave us ALL the drugs without even touching them? ))

[FlameMan]

In my opinion drugs are being confiscated by the SAPD, as civilian was part of SAPD operation and he doesn't have to pay for them.

Thanks Captain, anyway I'd like to have some other confirmations from the other captains and chiefs.
I'm trying to specialize myself in drug busts, and need to learn every possible situation that could occur and how to react properly.

[Thomas_Crof]

I'm not a captain, nor a chief (or anyone from the senior staff) but I also think the civilian should not pay.

[Bianconeri]

seems logic to me, why would the civillian have to pay the dealer?
the civil should get his money back, and if Cutter forced him to pay, then Cutter is abusing admin powers

civillian was helping the SAPD to bust him, and confiscated the drugs

I'm a bit dissapointed of current managment of applications. Since when, application which was accepted before is moved to "rejected" board as player leaves ARPD? Accepted once - means that application should be kept there, as at that time it was accepted. Just filling empty vials with full ones and visa versus...
