the last gang wars was actually pretty damn good, not a bad idea if enough gangs actually sign up

LOL good landing, but in the end, Arma won 

well damn, that took a long time to read through every post on here, but I guess I better make an input too, so get ready for, as FSA would call it, Flushas story time 
 
I came back to cop a couple months ago, overall though I joined mid-late 2014, some of the Captains were hated back then, but if you had a discussion with those that hated them (mainly Durga) they would still agree they had made many positive impacts to the APD as a whole, and were still making it a better place for all, which cannot be said for some of the current Captains.
 
whilst speaking to many higher ups, without mentioning names in case they do not wish to be involved, many people do not see Hypanius as being fit for the Captain rank, and some the same for Ed, from my personal view point, Jamooze is a very fair guy, he sits and holds a proper conversation with anybody that has any issues and gives people a chance to explain themselves, I personally don't see any reason as to why he should be removed, whilst others have had stuff to say about Ed, I personally have seen him do no wrong either, but if what was said about the SGT's was true, that kind of thing is not what we should see from Captains, as it basically makes the entire ranking system useless and we may as well just have Cadets, Constables and Captains, as the higher ups are slowly being stripped of their responsibilities, now, for mr Hypanius, in the time I have been back, almost every effort to make contact with him was greeted with a "cba" attitude, any time I asked a basic question through text,he would reply, but if I ever asked for any actual help, or to talk about something, it would just be ignored or he would say he is too busy to talk, and hey, I get people are busy, but why sit in the Captains office for 4 hours if you're not going to be doing anything for those entire 4 hours? every time I see Jamooze or Ed in there, and I ask them for help on anything or to discuss something, I get help in no time at all, everything gets settled fairly and everyone goes off happy, now, I cannot make a massive say on it, as none of it happened to me, but pretty much ever conversation that has been negative about the APD, and no, this is not just in a rebel Teamspeak, this is sat in senior police chambers, support rooms, active cop channels playing in game, everywhere, from cadets, higher ups, pure rebels, almost every conversation has included Hypanius, and most of them I would agree with, while yes, Durga was hated, almost everyone, as you can see in this thread, still agreed he was a fucking good Captain, and yes, he was a dick to people at times, but he got shit done and actually improved the APD, not just demote people because he can and insist what he says is right and what he says goes, he still spoke to other people of other ranks and got other opinions before doing stuff, the higher ups seem to be left out, and whatever the Captains say goes, and yes, the Captains get final say, but 3 people can't speak for every single white listed officer, last time I checked, be it a while ago, there was over 1,000 white listed officer, and you have to include their voices in decisions, and also civs, this is where speaking to Sergeants and Lt's helps, they play in game a lot, they speak to gang mates, civ friends, cadets, constables etc a lot and get input from every angle and can help to make a better decision, so include them, show them why they are a higher up and ask them, don't just throw them in the gutter and have the "im right, you're wrong" mentality.
 
TL:DR: Jamooze is a good guy, gives everyone a voice and lets them speak their side before making decisions, and makes fair, unbiased choices, so I personally think he should be left as is.
Ed, I have seen him do no wrong personally, so I have no input, others say he has done wrong, but that's for them to talk about and discuss with those voting and making the choice, not me
Hypanius, no, just no.

 

LOL good landing, but in the end, Arma won 

Thanks for your input Flusha!

I was a career cop for a year and and few months before I mistakenly made that post. I never cared about ranking up, always had 3+ cadets with me, and never played with higher ups. The only reason higher ranks knew me is because I was a constable with a lot of the old timers(when they were constables themselves). Only reason some of the admins know me is because I played civ for 6 months before I ever became a cop and a lot of them were non admin constables who would arrest me all the time. 
Seriously though, I can own up to my mistake of making that post, and I hope my constant leniency shows that I know people make mistakes but also know it doesn't define who we are. I apologize to all the perfect individuals who never make mistakes, but that's just not me. What I failed to realize when I made that post is that it's literally impossible for a SGT+ to promote someone they don't know, how could they? So who do we put the blame on, the user for not finding the higher ups or higher ups for not finding the users?
Oh, and by the way Murmurs, my actual feedback was that my playtime was 40% and that no one knew me (because I didn't play with higher ups! whoops!) So please make sure you have your facts straight before you try to sling someone through the mud. 
This is the last time I'll be visiting this post but would like to say that if ANYONE ever has an issue / idea/ complaint/ what-the-fuck-ever it may be I am ALWAYS willing to speak to you. I don't think I am special, smart, or anything more than another person. My only goal as Captain is to give my all to my favorite gaming community who has treated me so well over the last couple of years.
I love you all - Jamooze

 
This post is NOT mean to target anyone specifically, I am simply giving mine and the asylums input on the captains. 
Where do I begin. From this thread it seems like ED and Hypanius seem to be getting alot of hate from the community for their actions while jamooze is the loved one. There are multiple things I have gathered so far from seeing these new captains. Jamooze, this guy has been around the community for awhile. I remember the days he was a constable simply struggling to get votes to become a corporal. Once he was promoted, Jamooze quickly soared through the ranks in just a couple months to captain. I was surprised seeing jamooze being promoted past the rank of SGT since he has never seemed like the type of guy with any drive/compassion for the APD. When we heard the promotion of Jamooze to captain, alot of LTs were wondering how high Durga was at that time. Since Jamooze has been appointed the rank of captain, it has changed him from the raging jamooze I used to know into a different figure with pros and cons. Jamooze is a laid back person and simply has little/no hate from the community at the moment simply for the fact he doesn't publicly account for any new changes in the APD that often.
ED, I remember when ED was a corporal always pushing for changes in the APD but simply couldn't at the time due to his rank. Ed quickly soared ranks from corporal to Captain in just a few manner of months with little experience in the APD staff on Policies and Guidelines. This outraged a good amount of LTs in the APD when they heard someone who was barely an LT for a month receiving captain. I myself was greatly surprised figuring that APD veterans like AAbrams or Painbringa would have received a position of captain. I disliked ED alot when he was recently appointed captain. It angered me thinking that there are other candidates out there with alot more experience and knowledge who would have made the cut better. Once ED was appointed captain he quickly began to bring about changes in the APD, some that were highly agreed upon and some that were disliked. Ed has always seemed like the type of guy who would sit down with you and listen to your thoughts on things. He was always there when someone needed help or if someone needed a second chance. The cons have ED I have seen is his stubbornness can get the best of him. If he has something set out the way he wants it down and you don't perform it that way, he can be very aggressive toward that said individual . I can't say many negative things about ED simply because I haven't personally seen him do many negative things. Now I'm pretty sure there are many of you out there with your own personal interactions with Ed whether you agree with his actions or disagree, I am just giving my own opinion. 
Hypanius, now there are quite alot of many negative things I have heard from him and little to none positive things. From what I have seen and gathered from people in and out of the APD about hyp, he is a stubborn, self absorbed, close minded individual person on the APD. He refuses to take advice from others in the APD and simply acts upon what he thinks. He does not care about giving others a second chance and laughs at the thought of it. He has shown that he only talks to those about things he wants to talk about. He is trying to be a hardass much like durga but is simply giving off a "douchebag" personna insted. Regarding rangers demotion, it seems like he has avoided confronting that situation at all with other LTs and Ranger himself in the APD and is trying to sweep it under the rug. When he was demoted he refused to share info about ranger and as you can see by the screenshot that was posted earlier, wouldn't even post the reason of demotion on his app. Now usually when someone trys to hide something, it means your doing something you know you shouldn't be doing. I have NOT had really any interactions at all with hyp, but unless he shows any improvements within the APD or ANY effort, then I agree with the rest of the Asylum community that he needs to be removed from the rank of captain.  If there comes a point where a captain is bringing down the APD rather than improving it, I will have no problem voting to remove that captain.
If any captains need to be brought back its durga. He was my inspiration to rank up in the APD and was my APD role model. Everything I did in the apd I would think to myself, how would durga handle this? Durga was a hardass and very quick/and blunt to the point. He was hated alot by the community simply because he had no problem taking the heat from new rules that the other captains didn't want.

Lets keep this thread civil please. 
#AllHailDurga

Well... here goes.  Quite a bit to say on this topic, so wall of text likely incoming.  Maybe I can bring the thread back on topic.
As most of you probably know, I was a Lieutenant until very recently.  I still don't know why I was demoted or what I did other than "something bad" and "corruption" or "lost my trust".  But this really isn't about that, this is about the Captains.

So let me tell you what I know about the Captains and why I believe that a change of the guard is in order.
Right off the bat, when these news Captains were instilled, some of the Lieutenants tried to be involved in the "new APD", asking to be involved in policy making.  Hypanius laughed and said that coming to us for policy ideas would be a bad idea and that he would make the decisions. Despite having some sort of transvestite lady boy as his avatar, Hypanius becomes overwhelmed and demotes people for making lighthearted jokes about his name.  He can stand to have a scantily clad man-woman, but can't take the name "Hyper-Penis" without throwing everyone off the force for not respecting his reign.  I won't forget joining a support channel wherein an ongoing discussion with Hypanus was happening about said nicknames when I mentioned that Scott referred to him as "Hypermoose" and he threatened to demote me if I ever said that again.  It became clear early on that this Captain maintained some sort of personal desire to see me removed.
After responding to an officer report against RoguePilot who I had not been in a gang with for 35+ days, Hypanius gave me points for processing a gangmate claiming that "he felt like I had been in a gang with him and that i deserved points" despite having no proof.  I had previously been told due to my heavy gang involvement to not process anyone who I was a in a gang within 30 days with.
He then later finally removed me for reasons still unknown to me.  Many of you have heard the conversation.  I asked why I was being removed and if I could be offered at least an explanation, let alone evidence, and was told that "we can't tell you what, but you did something bad".  Hell, I have come to understand that the evidence against me (which has since been deleted) is of me simply talking about something, not even me actually actively doing some violation of APD guidelines.
Following this incident, said Captain Hypanius removed Ex-Lieutenant Bloodhound's Corporal rank because Bloodhound banned him from the FSA teamspeak.  Apparently Captain's power now extends into private gang teamspeak servers.
My Captain report for this blatant abuse of power resulted in the following.  That is the only response.

There are a number of 2nd LTs and veteran Lieutenants who have come across as heavily disappointed in the current direction and recent actions of the APDs current leadership.
Now, for me this isn't about my removal or Hypanius alone.  This is about the leadership of the force as a whole and the reasons why I sought the Lieutenant position in the first place.  Whether or not you thought I was a good Lieutenant, and I have received a lot of support from people insisting that I was, but either way I worked for the position so that I could support the police force that made Asylum a great place when I joined in 2014.  Those were my only intentions as cop, I defended the cop force, got on every day to help them fight the uphill battle and provide leadership at the Bank/Fed/Prison.  I fought for a fair fight for rebels and to create a positive roleplay environment and all it did was get me removed.  Apparently I tried to create a fun environment one too many times and somehow violated some rule unknown to me.  All I have been able to gather is that it was related to the trial by combat system.
When Ed was chosen I was a little perplexed.  Joined the APD after the 6.0 patch and had been a Lieutenant for less time than me when he was selected for Captain.  Not only was he relatively inexperienced in APD terms, frequently asking policy questions and often tapping other LTs for thoughts on officer reports, but he was inexperienced in Arma itself by community standards (600 hours at the time?).  But now we have Ed and these Captains pushing to remove age limits from cop?
Jamooze I have for the most part had little to no issue with.  He is a laid back guy.  The only thing I can fault him for is stealing a civilians (my) ifrit while on cop and driving to HQ to seize claiming that he is Captain and he doesn't have the follow APD rules.
The fact is, people the Lieutenants are disheartened with the state of the APD's leadership. The people pleaser Captains are not doing what is in the best interest of the force.  It is time for change.
Sneaky was correct in saying that the state of the APD is a snowball rolling down a hill.  Someones needs to stand in the way of its downfall.  The force needs a change.  It is not in a good state and considering how large of an impact this has on the servers as a whole, I truly hope that the community managers step in.
@bamfWe are calling on you and Trilligy to come back as the real Chief of Police and clean up this disaster.  I know you guys don't want to, I know it won't be easy.  But it is has sadly come to the point where this is necessary.

Removed the audio file of my removal as was asked.

Think it's time Nighteyes came out of Captain retirement.

Guidebook - Section F, Number 5: If a Captain becomes unpopular, an overwhelming majority vote by the Lieutenants can get him demoted
 
Durga edit:
 
 
This is a plea to the Lieutenants of the Altis Police Department on behalf of the citizens of Altis. We may not always get along, but I hope that some level of mutual respect exists. It is through this respect that I hope that we may put our differences aside to come together on a single complication - the elephant in the room and arguably, one of the biggest issues facing our community today: The Captains of the Altis Police Department.
 
Lieutenants, it is not just I, Bilal Battu, but the entire community begging you to take a stand. I call on you to be brave and ignore the vulnerabilities of your rank that cause you to cower into your unjust and forced silence. The Captains of the APD treat both their own officers and citizens like second class human beings. It is a shame that our community of Asylum has been forced to brave this storm and today, I am calling for a stop to this madness.
 
As loyal people of this island, both the citizens and police staff have been far too abused. I call for a vote to charge the current Captains of the Altis Police Department with WAR CRIMES.
 
We call for action now. A secret and anonymous ballot is being sent out to all current Lieutenants of the Altis Police Department to vote off our current Captains. Lieutenants, please take this very seriously and understand what is at stake. To my fellow civilians and lower ranking officers of the APD, I ask that you give our Lieutenants support in their endeavor to rid us of these Captains, as they cannot do this without a strong roar of support from our community.
 
The proposal before us is for the greater of this community. Alone we stand no chance, together we are a force. A force that can not be ignored. Such a force, would bring strength instead of weakness, cohesion instead of division, Freedom over oppression!
 
May we look forward to a hopeful future in our Altis of tomorrow and achieve better times than we currently face today. Allahu Akbar!
 
Your civil servant,
 
Bilal Battu

If you can do it through text, why not through the phone call?
Believe it or not, not everyone plays on these servers for cartels.

Maybe next time champ.

Yes I know there is tracking devices that can be placed on cars. 
My suggestion make it to where the owner of the vehicle is able to report to police for a live tracker if stolen. For example how the owner can see it traveling across the map. The police would be able to see it like this as well. Only if a tracking device was installed. 

LMFAO that was amazing  10/10 dude
