*** APD Guidebook Updated ***

[Leady]

The guidebook has been overhauled. While it still has the same look and feel it should be easier to navigate and understand.

- Removed Redundancies.

- Simplified wording of many guidelines

- Section F and Cpl + have been moved to their own documents

- See earlier posted Policy Update for changes around IAD's

Actual Policy Changes

- You may now charge those who are assisting in a kidnapping.

- Battle Buddies - Completely removed. You may now enter illegal areas solo at your own risk

- Changed recommended to required to have 3 officers to man check points

- Raised Parole cap from 28,000 to 100,000

- Removed Solo Pilot restriction. You may now land at any time. Note you still need ground forces to enter illegal areas while in a helicopter.

- Removed restriction from negotiating at rebel, cartels are still a no go.

- Removed requirement to announce yourself before throwing a flash bang

- Removed requirement to have lights on when speeding

- Clarified Searching/Seizing while in combat, You may search/seize contraband from a player or vehicle at any time or place even if in combat.

- Clarified Vehicle seizing, Vehicles still require all clear to be given before impounding or seizing unless inside of a HQ

- Clarified Abandoned Vehicle Searching/Impounding, If a vehicle is abandoned and the driver is wanted for more than $500 or is parked in an illegal area you may search otherwise impound.

- Under Ticketing Removed Murder of APD personnel - 100% ticket (Is covered under Aggressive), Removed if HQ is attacked must be given 100% ticket.

- Higher up request removed "Attempt to" Now reads,  You are required to contact any officer currently on the server who has a higher rank than you, even if you think the suspect's reasons for a higher up are not legitimate.

- Dealing with medics clarified

- Changed reckless driving, no longer requires a verbal warning to issue a ticket.

- Changed ticket guide for dirty money, removed "down to" now states round to the nearest 5K

 

These changes were made to allow for more freedom for officers to play and RP the way they like. We felt the guidebook had become too bloated for its own good. This will also align the guidebook for a planned future implementation of version 3.0.
