Re: Status of the Federal Bureau of Investigation

FBI VC:MP
Status: Selective VCPD Recruitment

Once a free-standing FBI division like the others, changes in the server forced FBI VC:MP to adapt a new system as the VCID, a specialized division of the VCPD (VC:MP). However, it has reverted to a Federal status and will soon be completing a gradual split process, allowing for a separate application process.

Application Process (current):
- Make a VCPD Application and show good service as a VCPD Officer. If you show the right capabilities, you will be selected for work as an FBI Agent. This process is due to change in a manner of months.

FBI Director ( MTA:VC, VC:MP)

Re: Vice City Police Department Reforms
The new Command Staff reveal an outline of upcoming changes and updates for the department.

"It has been a year now - give or take - since the 'new' Command Staff, after Chief Leonardo, moved into the HQ.
We have had a good time to try out a few things, experiment, change, support and hopefully move the department forward in light of the future, but not without preserving the work of the veterans..."

Re: Changes to VCPD Command
Legend takes over as the 6th Chief of the VCPD

As you may know our Chief, our friend, Marcus has not been able to be with us very much for a time.
Earlier this week, I had a general meet with Commissioner Jaaskaa. We discussed the server, the department and the people that make VCPD.
We talked about the Command, where it was heading and what it should be doing.

Following from this Commissioner Jaaskaa has decided to honourably discharge Marcus, relieving him from all his duties as the head of law enforcement in VC:MP.
Marcus served as a key member of the Command team alongside other great individuals, including Leonardo and JayL for several years and his work will not be forgotten.

In the coming months the Command Staff shall be reviewed and the department's progress checked.
Marcus shall continue as the (interim) SWAT Commander for the time.


In turn, Jaaskaa has asked me to take charge of the Vice City Police Department as the 6th VCPD Chief.
I have been playing with this message for a while, and not really been too sure on what to say sometimes, but I feel that it is important to put this down in words and let you know.

I received my first position in the VCPD nearly 4 years ago, in 2009. In 2011 I was admitted into the VCPD Command Staff, where - first as a Captain and later as Deputy Chief - I served for 1 and a half years. I was passed on the leadership of the force a couple days ago, on the 15th.

All of it, from day one, feels like it was just yesterday. I have been fortunate to meet and work amongst some amazing people and even now I continue to run into surprises and unique individuals who make it all worthwhile.

People say that the VCPD Chief position is something of a poisoned chalice, but I want to change that. I want to try and give this department as much as it needs to be what it was set out to be. The department has its own history to back it up and I know we are following in the footsteps of some awesome (for lack of a better word) individuals who were here before us, but we are not in competition. We are going to build on what they have already done, push this department upwards, take on a few challenges and at the end of the day, make it show.


To finish, I would just like to say thank you for letting me do what I do. Also, I want to thank Marcus for all that he did do - a personal friend and bold leader.

See the full message.

Yours,

Legend
VCPD Chief

Re: Changes to Special Weapons And Tactics

The SWAT team is set to undergo several changes to bring it more in line as the fast response arm of the Vice City Police Department.
Parts of the team will be strategically changed in structure and adjusted to best suit the needs of the city today.


The SWAT shall work hand in hand with the FBI and general VCPD.
Recruitment and training opportunities are likely to follow for prospective operatives.

ARPD Commissioner Announcement

No Longer required


Any problem contact me here or on skype.

The situation is going to be monitored with failures and success belong looked for.
Try to make this work, its failure will reflect on all of VCPD

(Legend is STILL actual chief but reduced online activity in server has encouraged the above)


Situation has changed... hopefully for the better

Legend has been in communication with me and has advised of how he hopes to take VCPD forward with help from others who are capable in VCPD.
I support him in this and I hope this is all going the right way.  I am available to help where needed and even have a VC account now!

[Huntsman]

ATTENTION ALL PERSONEL:

Additional Procedures have been added:
3.9

3.9. VCPD Officers must follow additional VCPD protocol while on duty. Such protocol being: Basic Rules of Police Duty, Patrol and Response, Pursuit Tactics, Weapon Training.

VCPD Academy and Protocol have been completely re-written. Every member of VCPD regardless of rank is required to post a read and understood notice on the new topics in VCPD Academy boards within 48 hours. The updated protocol is effective immediately.

[Huntsman]

All application bans are now lifted in an effort to reach greater activity of the department.
Application blacklist will no longer exist, and the maximum extention of rejection will be three months. We will no longer try to keep active players out of the department based merely on their criminal past. This does not mean that if you have caused trouble to the department in the past, you'll be accepted. If you have proven yourself to not be worth of trust, you will still most likely get rejected.

This does not apply to those who were previously blacklisted for being a security threat. You will still be rejected instantly.

Bank Robbery Suspect at Large

18th February, 2018. VCPD gets alerted about an alarm going off at the El Banco Grando Corrupto. The VCPD SWAT team gets mobilised and responds to the situation.

Efforts of negotiation are discontinued as the robbers open fire. SWAT team besieges the bank, successfully neutralising several robbers. Two robbers manage to escape the bank unnoticed. One is later hunted down by the law, while the other has managed to escape.

Two SWAT operatives were critically wounded during the operation. Several robbers were killed, one survived.

The police are still looking for the robber who has gotten away with the cash. If anyone has any information on the robber, we encourage you to inform the Vice City Police Department.

Jewelery Robbery Foiled by VCPD

11th March, 2018. VCPD gets alerted about an on-going armed robbery of the Jewelery store located in North Point Mall, Vice Point. SWAT and VCPD units respond to the scene. VCPD suffers several casualties and the robbers manage to break through the police barricade. However, thanks to precision planning and tactics enacted, all robbers have been neutralised before they could get away with the jewels.

Florida Man Arrested for Hit and Run

An on-going pursuit of a hit and run suspect, driving a Hotring Racer has concluded in the suspect being apprehended and arrested. The man is currently in the holding cell, awaiting trial. Vice City Police Department do their best to ensure that careless drivers do not cause danger to the public.

Taking Out the Garbage

A public servant of the Vice City Sanitation Department has been spotted driving carelessly and vandalising public property with his truck, causing havoc in Little Havana. The police have attempted to apprehend the driver and issue him a ticket, but the driver resisted by assaulting police vehicles. Officers drew their weapons and shot several warning shots at the vehicle, causing the driver to surrender. The driver is currently in a holding cell, pending drivers license removal.

New Blood in the Department

Several days ago, the Vice City Police Department underwent an Internal Affairs review, initiated by the Chief Gabriel Adams. Over 6 law enforcers were found to be incapable of serving the law, reasons varying from failure to fulfill duties to general misconduct, and were therefore removed from the department. It did not take long for the void created by the said removal to be filled by new and talented officers. Two of them are officers from Liberty City who have moved to Vice City to try out for the great career prospects that the department offers. They have recently been accepted into the academy and have are under heavy training to make sure that the law in the city is upheld only by the most competent officers.

The Vice City Police Department always desires to maintain a positive image within the public community, therefore, every single complaint is considered and investigated. Do not hesitate to fill out an official complaint at arpd.argonathrpg.com if you feel that any of our officers have mistreated you. Complaints of sensitive nature are also accepted via ArgoNet messages ((Forum PM))

We would also like to invite law abiding citizens to join the ranks of VCPD. The invitation extends beyond the state of Vice City: are you tired of the constant Liberty City rain? Or perhaps, the multi-cultural Los Santos background does not appeal to you? The Vice City Police Department is always willing to provide you with career opportunities. Register in the State of Vice City and apply for the Vice City Police Department training TODAY.
