GENERAL RULES

Believe it or not there ARE rules for every member of law enforcement, that is ARPD ...

Always give suspects a chance to surrender before attacking them.
Do not injure suspects who surrender.
Nobody can be forced to stay inside the jail after the scripted time expires.
In bank robberies/kidnappings/similar situations, suspect all the criminals related and give them a chance to give up before opening fire.


also

1. All server rules must be followed.
2. You are law enforcer, this means you must act like one
3. Be polite, even if you wish to be strict
4. Never suspect people without a valid reason
5. If you are to give a fine, do not suspect
6. If people resist arrest, do not shoot them at once
* If officer's life or civilian's life is not in direct danger, then all suspects resisting arrest must be handled with non-lethal force. - Commissioner Knight
7. Only use firearms when your life or that of civilians is in immediate danger
8. Never use firearms against a suspect that does not show a weapon - Unless they are actually escaping from you! (Commissioner Edit)

These are from the server owners and MUST be considered as ARPD RULES !

UPDATE
Item 9:
Law enforcement staff including all ARPD may ONLY use registered* police vehicles to carry out law enforcement duties, this includes chase work.
They may use civilian vehicles ONLY to return to a duty station from where they they can then obtain a registered* police vehicle.
* a registered police vehicle is one that has its owner as SAPD or SWAT or FBI. and is not a faked vehicle!

The only exception are those who have undercover rights who can prove those undercover rights as part of the script system.

This applied to EVERYONE who is law enforcement.

This means even if a criminal passes you when you are in a civilian vehicle your are NOT to chase but report and get a pd vehicle fast.

UPDATE
Item 4: Never suspect people without a valid reason

Evasion or evade is NOT a valid reason

You MUST put what they are evading from.
Such as  evading police stop

I am also advising all command staff to UNSUSPECT anyone suspect for evasion any mention of the crime itself...

This applies to EVERYONE who is law enforcement.

Addon to Item 4 is now removed, there is no need for addons to the crimes "evasion" and "aiding"!
