The Special Response Team (SRT) is a team of officers that operate and partake in higher risk operations than standard patrol. They respond to Asylum Domination events as well as occasionally disrupting gang ownership of cartels in attempts to curtail rebel activity on Altis. Due to the high risk nature of their role, the following policy will be adhered to regarding SRT:

When an Asylum Domination event is active, any Constable may deploy for SRT.
This is done by clicking “Deploy as SRT Domination” at a Warrant NPC at any APD HQ while domination is active.
During domination, officers deployed as SRT may go to the domination capture points and attempt to uncapture them. 
While deployed as SRT during domination, only lethal ammunition may be used.

SRT Officers may respond to this raid as many times as needed while the APD is still uncapping/controlling the cartel flag. If the raid/flag control is lost to the rebels, officers may be revived, but can no longer return.  If SRT fails to complete a raid at any cartel, they may NOT attempt to raid and uncap that cartel for the remainder of the restart.

During this event, the contents of the vehicle may NOT be removed from the inventory. 
Only lethal ammunition will be used during the convoy escort. Normal lethal policy will go back in place once the convoy is delivered.
SRT must be disabled by a SGT+ once the convoy event is over.
 
SRT Base Raid: Rebels may sometimes attempt to raid the SRT Base to try and get the money pooled from uncaptured cartels.
SRT may be deployed when an SRT Base Raid is started
All officers must respond for a minimum of two (2) lives to attempt to stop the raid.

Once the SRT Base Raid is over, the SRT Base Security MUST be re-enabled.
SRT Loadouts and Equipment may ONLY be used while deployed for SRT. As soon as SRT is disabled, or anytime an officer has an SRT loadout when SRT is not active, all SRT gear MUST be dropped and seized. 
SRT Base may NOT be used as an HQ to process civilians if the defense systems are active.

I'll make a proposal for it and see what we can do. If it can encourage civs to want to roleplay more without being abused then I'm all for it.

I understand why the limit is needed in certain times for the server, but I and a lot of other officers believe that it would be best for us to remove this cop to civ ratio for the time being. 
The issue that comes up with the ratio and the state of the server is if there is more than SEVEN cops online and someone who only mains Cop wants to come and play, they are going to get ratioed and wont be able to play cop. On paper you guys might think that the Officer will just go to play civ but it just doesn't work that way. There are people that only want to play cop and don't really care to play civ, and with how things are, I believe we should be trying to hold as many people playing as we can.
I believe we should allow Sergeant+ to help control where cops are and what they are doing which would help the issues that would arise if we do remove the ratio. This IMO would address almost all concerns that will come up when talking about this, if not id love to hear them below.

APD vehicles are not illegal, grand theft is correct. No different than if they stole and drove an APD Strider. 

Sheriff system you say?  A man after my own heart. This and some karaoke and I can finally feel at home
