Effective Immediately
SGT+ will be allowed to deploy SWAT officers to cities/HQ’s during extreme circumstances under the following stipulations:
The highest ranking officer (SGT+) on duty is solely responsible for activating SWAT and will assume command of the entire situation until SWAT is deactivated. Failure of the activating officer to command and direct the entire situation will result in severe repercussions. A set amount of SWAT officers will be deployed depending on civilian count in the cities and must report directly to the SWAT deploying officer as well as adhering to standard SWAT policies. Failure to follow the command and direction of the SWAT activating officer will result in severe repercussions.
 
The SGT+ may currently authorize SWAT officers for the following situations:
HQ Defense
Having a suspect in custody worth 200k+. Can not be used for someone who has turned themselves in.
HQ is being actively assaulted by 3+ civilians
Riot Control
Any Suspect(s) involved must be using high caliber weapons 6.5+ or explosives
Inability to bring stability to a city after 3+ attempts with 5+ suspects identified
Once SWAT is called, a crate of illegal loot will spawn inside of the city and officers will be required to attempt to gain control of that crate once it is unlocked. An LT+ may call for officers to disregard the crate allowing civilians to obtain the crate uncontested from officers. (If a call to disregard the crate is made, a message must be sent to the active captains on why that call was made.)
Once the SWAT activating situation has been handled (per the activating officers discretion) all SWAT officers must be deactivated.
Casino/Athira Entertainment Policy
The Casino/Entertainment Center will be off limits for on-duty APD officers. However, officers are allowed to go to Casino/Entertainment center with legitimate reason, such as: 
Active Visual Pursuit
Rescue a kidnapped officer
Once officers arrive at the location they may only retrieve the suspects involved. They may not restrain anyone else at the Location, you may only apprehend the suspects involved in the active visual pursuit and the suspects involved in the kidnapping.  
 
Any questions/comments/concerns please reach out to a Captain.

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY
The APD is introducing the use of Armed Ghost-Hawks
Information below:
1.  Actively Seated Captain must be in the helicopter to ensure proper use of the armed Ghost-Hawk.
The armed Ghost-Hawk shall not be used to land officers into an active firefight.
2. Only one Armed Ghost-Hawk may be used at a time or:
In the event the APD lose control of an armed Ghost-Hawk, another may be dispatched to disable the stolen helicopter. A stolen armed Ghost-Hawk will take priority over everything until it is secured. Once the Ghost-Hawk is secured an Actively Seated Captain may issue one officer to pilot the stolen Ghost-Hawk back to an HQ, no other officers may occupy the Ghost-Hawk's gunner seats at that time.
3. Armed Ghost-Hawks shall only be used if cops are heavily outnumbered and/or are repeatedly responding to federal events with no reprieve.
 
 

Added to RDM:
         
Suicide Vests:
Suicide vests no longer require initiation to detonate in crowded areas or to save a captured gang member. If seen wearing a suicide vest you may be shot on sight by any player without initiation.  Added to Housing:
Players who are logging in with the sole purpose of keeping houses without actually playing, risk their homes being removed with a warning. Accounts will be reviewed by Senior Admins to determine if the player is playing the bare minimum to maintain properties. ( After 2 months of low activity you will be contacted ) Added to Exploiting:
Using Advanced Flight Model to fast spool a helicopter, regardless of the situation will be considered an exploit. Shooting the back of Quilins to cause them to explode Property Protection:
Attempting to destroy/steal a player's property/vehicle opens you/your group up to one way initiation with the opposing group. Attempting to destroy a player owned home only grants the homeowner one way initiation with you and your group - This does not apply to group/gang members houses or houses you have keys to. The gang spawn building is excluded and all gang members are able to protect this property. Groups
Guessing a groups password to join and betray them is not against server rules. Your group should be more secure. (Not an update just a clarification)

Good shit homie.
Miss playing with you guys.

Most of the Devs have been quite busy as of late. Lots of things have happened in the background such as migrating everything to a new server. Our infrastructure has greatly improved. You may notice some unlisted changes as we continue to tweak them (Ping kicks).
Mostly a QOL/Server maintenance Patch this month. 
Added:
Bright Night Select night brightness via settings slider! Sheds Broken down sheds on the map have been repaired to full working order. (36 Total) We will be slowly introducing these new sheds via Give-Away (Join our discord), Asylum forum auction and random market seeding This is being done this way to ensure equal opportunity for shed ownership and as to not crash the shed market.  Owning sheds is now limited to 2 sheds. If you currently own more than 2 sheds you have until the 1st of November 2023 to sell sheds until you reach the 2 shed cap, after this date we will sell them for you until you reach the 2 shed cap. CCTV Security Camera's 50+ Camera's have been placed around the map and are accessible by scroll wheeling on any screen with the camera icon. Activatable by all factions Provide live feed in stunning 240p (or less) Note: PIP must be enabled in your client settings, Arma only allows a maximum of 6 PIP screens at anytime. @goyneyfor icon Ranked Based Pay (APD)
The APD is a profitable faction, but it's the higher-ups who primarily carry the risk and bear the heaviest costs. These adjustments are aimed at helping to balance out those expenses. We're also taking this opportunity to get rid of most of the stackable charges. In the past, being caught with gold bars or banded notes almost always meant serving time in prison. These changes give you the choice to either pay the charges or find ways to realistically RP the charges down to a payable leve. APD has undergone a financial restructure APD SGT/LT of the month cash reward removed (See APD policy update) No longer stackable charges (See APD policy update) Money Laundering $5,000 -> $10,000 Weapons Trafficking $1,000 -> $5,000  Possession of Reserve Gold $15,000 (unchanged) APD pay (per 5 min) Cadet  $500 -> $350 Constable $500  ->  $500 Corporal $500 -> $650 SGT $500 -> $800 LT/Captain $500 -> $1000 New Mobile HQ Layout - Thanks to @Hubschrauber for the help Mobile HQ Cost $40,000 -> $25,000 Default mobile HQ now has vehicle spawn.
