Officer Name: Vash, Leviathan
Officer Rank: Corporal
Description: Two standout individuals in my eyes, especially Vash, always willing to take on challenges and have never had major issues with following the guidebook and stuff. 

I feel like this is one of -those- issues where there are solutions that sound great but so many challenges that make it really complicated. Principal of which, some people step away from the PC for long periods of time - military deployments, health issues, stuff like that. What is/isn't an acceptable reason not to play arma 3 roleplay game? Who will govern that? How will you verify the integrity of peoples' claims?
If you set a bare minimum then people will just log on and AFK just enough to meet that minimum, I don't think it's gonna have some revolutionary effect.
IMO, with the few extreme examples that I've heard about where this stuff is going on with sheds/v good location houses and has been for many many months, it may just require someone taking the plunge and just taking it and auctioning it off, returning the proceeds to the original owner. Yeah they will cry but it's on them. And if they are active enough they can win their own house back in the auction.

APD is a roleplay faction, you have to give someone sufficient time to explain their charges... Opposite also applies, they must be actually explaining the charge and you are free to use conversational tools to keep things moving and prevent mindless waffle to stall for time. And if they are not providing an explanation give them a ticket based off their explanation to that point.
A return of HVT or something like what you suggested is gonna get abused into oblivion.

Seems to be a new trend to start a jewelry emporium, get the to the stage where the qilin spawns, go take the qilin to a safe non-cop zone (cartel, shed, et cetera) and leave it with 1 guy preventing a despawn.  Then start a new federal event so all the cops have to go respond to that instead so you can pull up to African warlord and sell everything for free, leaving almost no risk in selling at warlord Anyone who has to stinge fed events on here in 2023 belongs on a list. But in the interim might it be possible to prevent new federal events from starting while the Qilin is active, and/or have it explode or otherwise be indisposed after x (30?) minutes of having spawned in?

When Jewelry first came out, I thought the warlord had only spawned in after the event and despawned after 20ish minutes of success. I could be remembering it wrong but maybe it’s time to move into that direction?
 
Could even aim to have two/three possible locations that warlord would randomly choose so that the jewelry isn’t so linear of an event?

I wasn't going to say anything because I'm not really bothered if this gets added, given it will be trendy for about a week and then will happen once a generation thereafter. But it seems to be getting mentioned a lot so I would bring up these issues:
Isn't the biggest complaints from cops these days that they are stuck always doing back-to-back federal events when the server is busier? Why would they be motivated to just add another to the list? If there are 10 cops, including 2 LTs on, chances are the events are just gonna get started again as soon as the cooldown is over. Locking it behind 10 cops and minimum 2 LTs is gonna make it very rare - including for the reason said above. It also has the potential for an incredible variance in difficulty. One day, 4/5 different gangs of 6+ people will fight over it, another literally nobody on the server will care. How could you possibly balance the payout of risk/reward for that? Your list of "the only things [you] can do" is the entire point of the APD as a roleplay faction. Combat is instigated by rebels and responded to by the police, that's the objective. Why should the APD be reducing its RP contribution to the server? What value does this add? How do you allocate SWAT? Considering there's no way of measuring who will attack, how do you propose to narrow the firepower gap? One VDM and it's all over. Also one RPG/vest/speedbomb/remote and it's all over. That truck is gonna look enticing from the cockpit of a buzzard This sounds like it would be a fun admin event. But I can't think of any way to make the proposals in this thread happen as they are presented.
