    FIRST DAY ON THE JOB APD
     
    DISCLAIMER: This video will contain info you probably know if you are above the rank of Constable. This video is made for the purpose of a day 1 cadet having a couple good start off points on his first day as a cadet. As well as any new constable.
    I decided to make this video with the help of others, to help out some cadets on the first day, along with the enjoyment of making it.

    Please welcome our newest Captain of Asylum's Altis Police Department, @Codie Alterman
    Congratulations are in order.
    He will be learning the ropes over the next couple of weeks, so take it easy on him!

  3. Maxime liked a post in a topic by BlackShot in How Asylum changed a person's real life   
    I guess this New Year's mood made me a bit inspired today, so I decided to share my story with you all - the ones that care enough to read it to the end. I don't mean to sound corny, it's really just about a legit experience with Asylum - and the people that play it - that indeed affected my real life in more than one way.   I started playing Asylum a bit before the hacking in 2015, but I took a considerable break because of personal reasons. I then returned in 2016, almost a year later I believe.   (For those of you who don't know it, I was born in Brazil and therefore my native language isn't English. It's Portuguese.)   One of the first things I did when I came back was apply again for the APD. Because I had a very limited level of English back then, I was very insecure about taking the interview and failing it, but things went good and I became a Cadet once again (had played a few weeks in 2015).   I made it to Constable after being helped a lot by @Mr. Linux and taking my ride-along with @Maxime, which was very easy-going about the English thing.   My first experiences were really funny. Whenever I arrested a toxic little prick, they would scream something like "Give me an English-speaking officer!" or "Do you even speak English?" and some other toxic stuff. My accent was weird (it's still somewhat noticeable) and I would 'stumble' over some words or mispronounce them with a certain higher frequency. However, it was still intelligible and I could make myself clear enough.   After playing for a few more months - let's say six or eight - was when my arrests and my experiences started changing. The toxic ones would now rarely mention the matter with my English. Now, whenever they said something, it probably involved the word 'pig' or similar. That's when I realized something else was changing: my Speaking was improving and that wouldn't have occurred to me if it wasn't by the toxic Asylum players. I guess I ironically owe them some thanks.   Few more months later and I took an exam called TOEFL - Test of English as a Foreign Language. It's required to non-native speakers of English especially if they wanna join a North American university or college. It isn't an easy test and it involves 4 abilities: reading, listening, speaking and writing. My score was 110 out of 120, whereas the university I was interested in only required a score of 65, if I'm not mistaken.   I still haven't joined any foreign universities or left the country, but that's still in my list of goals. At this moment I'm studying law in my country and I also got a job last semester. Surprisingly, I worked as a teacher. What did I teach? English.   I'm not perfect at the language and I'm still far from speaking it like a native speaker (I still make a bunch of mistakes), but the progress I achieved in such a short time was thanks to all the time I spent talking and interacting with Asylum players. I wouldn't have got such a high score on my English test if it wasn't by the community nor would I have gotten a job if it wasn't by the exam I took (I attached it to my résumé).   Of course that in the meantime I got closer to some people that would treat me very kindly. At the beginning of my APD 'career', I remember asking people to correct my English and make me sound more natural. It really helps. It carried on to Steam, Skype, Discord and even WhatsApp. Guys like @Nate!!!, @Midamaru, @explicit, @Chris Preuninger, @Olivia, @Morgan Lacerda, @Brendon Smith, @Alec-I, @InnateOcean, @Sandwich, @General Baked Potatoes, @GreenDemon, @Samperino and a *bunch * of others were always very understanding about it, and communicating with them was essential.   Besides getting an excellent grade on my test and getting a job after spending time on Asylum, I also made a lot of friends. From enjoying online game sessions to trading real-life advice (and I could quote Midamaru again), playing in this community allowed me to expand my knowledge and build strong friendships. This isn't a farewell post so I won't quote anyone else, but you know who you are.   Finally, I wanted to say that learning a new language is hard as fuck. It requires constant practice and a lot of patience. The ones who strive for perfection, like me, suffer a bit more, 'cause there's no magical formula to learn it all and learn it perfectly - especially Speaking, it sucks. If you find someone trying to learn or speak your language, give them some encouragement and help them when needed. Correcting he/she and giving tips is very important too (just don't be a dick about it).   Oh, and thanks @BaDaBiNg_10-8 and @Clint Beastwood for not letting the thing that brought me so many amazing experiences be buried under the ground. Wish you all the best in the new management!

    All,
    The Asylum Police Department has decided to take a stand against the cartels that flood our streets with illegal weapons and drugs.
    After many years allowing these wars to continue we are taking the initiative to end the bloodshed.
     
    Effective Immediately -
     
    Sergeant + can issue a raid on a contested or capped cartel.
    There are factors to ensure our officers are protected while undertaking these daunting tasks.
    1. YOU MUST have at least 1 armored vehicle (strider/hunter) to be the lead vehicle on approach.  If NO armored vehicle is taken that Sergeant/Lieutenant is AWOL and will be demoted.
    2. In order to receive back up there must be a surviving officer within 300m of the cap, IF THE OFFICER is killed while back up is enroute, the raid is considered over and any back up MUST resume normal duty.
    3. You can take a helicopter to the cartel, it is NOT considered the last surviving officer if ground units are wiped.  The helicopter must return to base if all ground units are wiped.
    4. These raids can only be issued one time per Sergeant+ per server restart.
     
    Any questions please ask a Captain
     
    - The Captains

    A quick update to address a few quality of life items on the rebel side:  
    The federal reserve has been reinforced with razor wire on top of most areas of the sandbags.   The Bank of Altis has moved back to Pyrgos.   The price of gold bars has increased.   Orca crafting prices have been adjusted due to the change in Orca purchase price.   Misc. bug fixes.   Hotfix 1:
    Changed the barbed wire at the federal reserve.  Still a work in progress. Changed the radius for the bank robbery charge to better fit the area in Pyrgos. Added a marker to show the illegal area when the bank is being robbed in Pyrgos. Patched a window at the bank.

    Don't know what to say, really...
    I've had many all nighters, furious e-peen fights and RP nerd outs. Many new friends to account for it and many memories to truly cherish.
    I appreciate everyone I've met in my time. You guys got me through many rough days, whether with work, school or other burdens. I could escape it all through this community.
    I'd do the whole @ thing, but there's just too many names. You all know who you are. Much love.
    Take care everyone. 
  24. Sandwich liked a post in a topic by Maxime in slightly annoyed non interveiwee   
    There are a total of 20 LT's. There are a total of close to 2000 officers in the APD. The amount of people waiting in those channels for an interview per month is a lot more than you imagine. Less than before but is still a lot. We have our requirements per month to do these, but keep in mind that doing interviews for the APD isn't the only thing we do in our lives. Hell I waited 4 days for an interview a while back. It's just a question of being patient and being there at the right time. I know it sucks, but put yourself in our situation.
    Thank you.
