****APD Policy Update 06/27/2024****

[Jr4life24]

Effective on June 28th 2024 at 6pm EST.

APD Crime Suppression Unit (CSU)

In an effort to increase police activity throughout the island, Officers may deploy for CSU. This two man squad will be solely dedicated to responding to 911’s and patrolling illegal areas/cities.

• CSU requires 7 active officers on duty, two officers may deploy for the patrol unit into the required TS channel. This unit must operate in a pair of officers at all times.

  • If at any instance there are no longer 7 active officers on duty, CSU must disband and return to regular patrol.

• The unit must be in marked uniforms/cars and are limited to 6.5 caliber max. 

• The unit’s primary objective is to respond to 911 from civilians, and patrol the island. 

• The unit can not use drones at any point, or use a helicopter to patrol illegal areas at any point.

• The unit will be allowed to ignore federal events unless called upon by a SGT+. (Can be ordered by a SGT+ who is on TS but not in game if no SGT+ is online.)

• The unit can not be staffed by the highest ranking officer on duty.

Undercover

Going forward, we’ve felt that the APD has lost its sense of identity with the amount of higher ups who have access to undercover. Going forward we will be restricting its use additionally.

• Officers who are Undercover should be conducting their own tasks away from marked units. If a marked unit requests for backup, a UC may respond then should separate from marked units afterwards.

• Undercover vehicles can only be used while conducting undercover situations. (Should switch to marked vehicles for Federal events/assisting marked units when possible.)

• Officers who are UC may follow the server rule, red=dead as long as Use of Force is followed

 

Federal Event Priority List

1. Federal Reserve
2. Casino
3. Bank of Altis
4. Prison

Temporary Patrol and Ruling Changes 

• No house raiding will be performed at this time

• Officers may not use drones at this time

• All cop ranks will follow helicopter guidelines. (No searching illegal areas without ground units)

  • Cops may only respond via helicopter if ground units in area.

  • 20 30 minute Cooldown for Checking  Illegal Drug Areas (Processors, Fields, Dealers)

  • 2 1 Life rule for all illegal drug areas regardless of how many cops are online (Ex: 5 cops or less is no longer valid) 

    • Officers killed in an Illegal zone have a 1 life rule therefore they cannot return to the fight unless revived. If all officers on scene are KIA. All responding officers in route must divert

Changes to the Guidebook 

• Terrorism $15,000 - 3 or more Civilians Shooting at police inside an HQ - Due to the threat they pose, suspects may be sent straight to jail at officer discretion
