Me like even though My RP sometimes might be on the line of being unprofessional wich some civs like but maybe not everyone, when I started as a cadet My RP was that I had mulitiple personalitys but now I dont see alot of cadets even trying to RP they just go with the lines of Explain then ticket. @Olivia also makes a good point the APD should be a place to have fun but at the same time there needs to be rules I mean there is questions on My Ride along that is not even in the GB anymore but they are still rules like Wtf. Bring back the rules of the APD in more detail then what it is right now and yes force cops more to RP than just "Explain then ticket".

cuz 90% is the same shit from the other 11 videos (haven't watched yours) add that up and we have watched the same montage with a different song for 2 years almost.

If you want to help, petition with the other Sgts and Lts to have the Captains reform the guidebook and bring us back to our former glory. Once the rules are reinstated, people will have to retrain all the cops in how to act and RP. That is going to be one hell of a job but once we have a basic grounds set, training the new cadets coming on board will be easy. Especially if they already know what to expect from watching the reformed cops in the server to begin with.

I strongly disagree. The civs have a choice to go along with RP or not. It is the APD's responsibility to set a base for the RP to stem off of in every situation, should the civs choose to RP back. If not, the cop is still RPing as a cop, and that is good enough. The point is that if you make it so that people see you more as an officer rather than some kid in a different role slot, RP will naturally follow as it did 3 years ago, regardless of server trends.
Remember when you had to take the people back to the HQ to search them and give them a ticket? That should be re-implemented  as well as it bred unmatched RP experience and allowed for people lying in wait to do one of the things that made Asylum great - plant drugs and other contraband on people before they were searched.
If we go back to the roots and enforce a mandatory RP at least as far as being a cop goes, not necessarily RP every situation but at least RP as a cop (hence the light RP server), it will start earning respect from civilians and start making RP possible and a hell of a lot easier.

i mean back then you had a shit ton of gangs that knew what they were doing like bad blood,innovative later on synergy,regiment into evil corp and NV, and so on. You didnt get a break as a cop and most of these guys had a shit ton of charges and you knew that the rest of the gang would eventually come. You as a cop didnt care you wanted to get the best rp of these guys and most to of the time these guys gave it to you. Most rebels now dont want to rp becuase they know that the cops would rather lethal and just robocop them than have a good rp story. All you hear nowadays if you are apart of a huge gang is "you probably got all them kills on cops or at a cartel" than the "holy shit man here we can get you help" jesus id rather sit there and rp about stupid shit that doesnt exist in asylum than alright that wasnt a good enough story for me heres a full ticket... Most cops either pardon or just give parole instead of listen and just make some rp story.

I think the APD has months where it's being run very well and months it is not, generally that's what I've seen with my time on Asylum.  Right now, things aren't so great in terms of RP, it use to be a lot better.  Trying to talk my way out of bounties with a lot of cops has become useless and just a headache, I don't necessarily care if I don't get pardoned but at least have some back and forth and make it an interesting experience,  Don't make it so blatantly obvious that you're alt tabbed or just waiting for me to stop talking just so you can say "I don't believe you, here's your ticket.".  I think what made cops better at roleplaying before was the fact there were standards and they were much more strictly enforced.  A lot of what cops do now, even some higher ups would not have been okay just a year ago.

I can't make that call but if u have any ides on how we can improve P3 please let me know, I hate the way it's going so im all ears.

At the end of the day cop is a whitelisted slot and if a person wants to put in the effort of joining the APD it should come with rules (we have rules but no enough). The server might be soft on RP but if there is a whitelisted slot in this case APD then that slot should be more strict and forced in ways to RP and so on.

Possibly controversial opinion incoming.  I think that removing rules from the GB in order to make cop more lax and easy to play has been a very destructive decision for our force. 
It all originated because Paratus decided to play as cop once and was overwhelmed by the number of rules and felt he couldn't keep track of them all.  Well of course that would happen, he's not involved in the APD at all.  We shouldn't calibrate the APD for a quasi-absent dev who plays cop twice a year.
If the APD rules were more strict, then the bad cops will get weeded out more easily.  Players that tend to spend 98% of their time on rebel will have a harder time switching over to cop without more rigorously keeping up to date with the rules.  The cops that are immature, vindictive, ignorant, or who abuse civilian rights, hold grudges, don't know the rules, and act unprofessional will get removed. 
Sure, setting the bar high might scare off or remove some officers, but I know that there are cops here that care, that deserve respect and that would work hard regardless.  We might filter out a lot of officers, but I know that what we would be left with... is a really damn good batch of officers.

Back then you saw that many of the higher ups  from SGT and above would sit there and listen to the wildest story around and then talk back with you about how you need to change your ways and this could go on from 20 minutes to even a hour. Now you have many civs on the island and police officers who just want to get on with their life and just either get sent to jail or go on parole. Multiple times I have been arrested and the cops take me back to HQ, HVT me then if nothing goes down at the HQ the cop will be make me explain my charges and after like 3 or 4 of my 15 to 20 manslaughters he will just go and say alright man "how does parole sound" and thats the new meta of cop. Mostly to deal with the suspect as quick as you can just so you can  get back out there and make money. When i first started the lethal for cops gave you the full amount for lethal and the full amount for arresting someone (something along those lines), the point Im making is even back then when cops got a shit ton of money for catching someone/lethaling they still RPed to the full extent.

RP from cop perspective went to listening monologue of criminal in cuffs for 10 minutes saying "mhm, aha, that's horrible, try to change ur life, here is your parole" - even tho we have soft-rp community in here, it would be awesome to force people to develop background story and build up character as a cop. Leave soft rp to civs, force APD to be more hardcore-rp than it is. And the point about being professional as APD officer is spot on - we don't see that anymore at all, and I believe that's what ruins the view of APD in civs eyes the most.

Me like even though My RP sometimes might be on the line of being unprofessional wich some civs like but maybe not everyone, when I started as a cadet My RP was that I had mulitiple personalitys but now I dont see alot of cadets even trying to RP they just go with the lines of Explain then ticket. @Olivia also makes a good point the APD should be a place to have fun but at the same time there needs to be rules I mean there is questions on My Ride along that is not even in the GB anymore but they are still rules like Wtf.
