I’ll check on this and if not I will take care of it tomorrow night for Wednesday.

Can't wait to die 100 times today at the bomb range 

Effective Immediately
Policy Change:
SRT:
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:
 
SRT Officers may be deployed for the following purposes:
Asylum Domination Event SRT Cartel Raids
APD Convoy Event
SRT Bases Raid
 
Domination 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 does NOT count towards federal event counters. No officer deployed as SRT should respond to any federal event except the APD Convoy and SRT Base Raid as described below.
 
SRT Cartel Raids
SRT Cartel Raids must be authorized by a SGT+ To activate, the SGT+ will “Activate Elite Squad” at a Warrant NPC at any APD HQ. All officers involved in the raid MUST be SRT (Maximum of 6 SRT) In order to start SRT Cartel Raids, there must be a minimum of 40 civilians online; OR, there is a group of 5+ online that own the cartel(s).
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. 
All SRT Officers involved in cartel raids will only use lethal ammunition. 
Only 3/4 of the active cartels may be captured per restart.
SGT+ shall mark the map at their chosen cartel after the raid.
 
APD Convoy: 
An APD Convoy event must be started by a SGT+ and must be authorized by the highest ranking SGT+ online.
There must be a minimum of 5 officers in attendance to start a convoy. (Including the SGT+ initiating it).
The officer driving the convoy vehicle must drive the vehicle to Athira HQ. While driving the convoy vehicle, the officer may NOT stop to fight or engage in combat unless they are defending themselves when stuck or disabled. 
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. 
If the event vehicle is stopped after it escapes and officers find the contraband (Banded Bank Notes) inside the vehicle, which has no registered owner, the driver of the event vehicle will be charged with any illegal contents. 
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. 
Abandoned Target Range:
The inactive ordinance range will be treated as an illegal area and will follow the standard policy regarding patrol of illegal areas. 
Any civilian found to be in possession of Bomb Fragments or Bomblets will be charged with Possession of Explosives.

Domination SRT
SRT has returned to the island.  APD officers are able to deploy for SWAT by scrolling on the warrant NPC in APD HQs when domination is active. Officers can uncap dom points and receive scalable pay based on their stats (include the breakdowns again)B Officers are paid 2k per kill, and it costs 5k per respawn SRT officers do not count towards fed events Non-Dom SRT
SWAT certified officers are able to deploy for SRT once a SGT+ activates the elite squad by scrolling on a warrant NPC Once activated up to 6 police officers can deploy for SRT, they are able to access elite weapons based on the above achievements (Same as dom). SRT roster is tied to population with a max of 6 80 >6 60> 5 40> 4 30> 3 20< 2 SRT officers are able to neutralize cartels by activating a raid by scrolling on the flag Once activated a 25-minute process will start, if the APD flag is still hanging on the cartel flag it will be neutralized for 30 minutes. Rebels are not able to capture the cartel during this time.  
Rebels can prevent the APD from capturing the cartel by scrolling on the flag The proceeds from the cartel is then stored in an APD slush account stored within the SRT forward operating base. (Money is shown on the SRT marker on the map) In order to access the money the APD must successfully execute a convoy to bring the funds to the APD Athira HQ lockup, if successful they will be rewarded. (See APD Convoy) The rebels are able to raid the compound via a federal event to get the money back, rebels can also attack the convoy to loot the cash. (See SRT Base Raid) There is a 5 minute cooldown between raids and the applicable APD policy will be released to limit it further. These SRT officers are also not included in the federal event counter, unless it is relevant to the SRT forward operating base. Convoy Event
APD officers can now start a convoy event from the SRT Fortress to launder the money from their cartel raids once there is more than 50k stored in the base. SRT officer starts convoy on the laptop at the base of the radio tower An Evidence Dept box truck will spawn with the cash inside of it Officers must drive the vehicle to Athira HQ to successfully secure the money the money will be split amongst the cops upon delivery Rebels can lockpick the truck to get the money out of it  Raid Event
Rebels can now raid the SRT fortress to gain access to the money gained from the cartel raids Disable electric fence and AA system at the base of the AA tower (USB needed) Hack the laptop at the base of Gate 1 (USB needed) Hack the laptop at the base of the radio tower to finish the mission (USB needed) Once the radio tower has been breached SRT will no longer be able to contact APD officers for backup. A truck will spawn in with the money as banded bank notes Cops can secure the compound via the laptop under the AA tower after the radio tower has been destroyed, or before the middle gate has been breached. Bomb Range
After years of warfare the APD has now cordoned off two locations filled with unexploded ordinance Civilians can go these areas and search through the debris in search of bomb fragments Careful! some bombs may still be live! Process the fragments into bomblets at Black Market Production. Sell bomblets at wongs Tractors now gather cotton and tobacco plants New cotton and tobacco fields New Union docks  Hireable gas stations for cool perks and passive income
We’re introducing Hireable Gas Stations, an exciting new feature that offers players cool perks and opportunities for passive income. Here’s how it works: Own Your Spot: There are three gas stations available to hire, and they reset every server restart. Passive Earnings: Once hired, the gas station generates money over time, which is deposited into a secure safe. It’s up to you to empty the safe regularly—before someone else tries to take it! Raids and Risks: Other players can raid your gas station to steal the cash you’ve earned. Keep an eye out and defend your property! Time-Based Ownership: If you’re offline for more than 10 minutes, your gas station becomes available for someone else to hire. Stay active to maximize your income! Play More, Earn More: The longer you stay in-game, the higher your return on investment.  
Fixed:
 
Fixed bug surrounding IED placement Fixed lockdown markers not being at the new Hqs Fixed random hot zone events not paying  Fixed random NPCs dissapearing Fixed dupe with mafia loot  
Hotfix #1
Fixed vehicle garages at SRT Fort removed debugging from gas stations gas stations can no longer be owned by medics/cops Fixed SRT not disabling properly to allow for new entrants Fixed process truck not properly detecting the new cotton gins Fixed SRT addon shops SRT base now counts as a fed event

pls do it and give this shit the killing blow or maybe it will revive because tom told a couple more of his friends to buy new accounts
 
just allow cheating at this point tbh take this new angle as the cheater server and maybe you will keep it full

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.

Remove prestige. Give me my money back.
