Hi there! Do you want to be an officer? That's what i thought! Great choice! Well, lets get started!
The first thing we need to know a little about is the cop rules.
Police/SWAT rulesGovernment Official RulesGovernment Officials aren't totally exempt from traffic lawsYou can read all the rules at: http://www.catalyst-gaming.net/index.php?topic=18426.0Rules of the road: http://www.catalyst-gaming.net/index.php?topic=19318.0Yes yes! Now we know the rules.
Location: Alright. To apply for the police job you have to go to nexus (the huge building in the city). When inside Nexus you will see 4 NPCs. The first from the left is our NPCs. Go and talk with him. Apply.
Once you are a cop we should get a police car unless someone is driving alone and needs a partner. The police car NPC is in the basement of Nexus.
To the left from the NPC where we applied for the job can you see 2 elevators, take the one just left from the NPC, once you are in the basement and move a little forward you will see an NPC, go talk to her and get your car.
Job Description/Purpose: As a police officer your job is to keep the streets clean from minor criminals. You patrol for speeders, or stand by waiting for chases or police raids. When a chase is going on, please check with the other officers if more officers are needed. it's dumb if 5 police cars are chasing some ATV for crossing a red light. Keep in mind that as a police officer, your job is NOT to protect the mayor. We have the SS doing that.
Chat commands :
/radio We use this when we have to get in touch with the Dispatcher or the other Officers.
T If you use a microphone. When you press T you will see a small walkie-talkie icon near the top left corner. When it is showing it means you are speaking in the radio, so that all the other Officers, Dispatch, Mayor etc. can hear you. Remember to turn it off when talking to someone IC.
X(default) To talk into your microphone.
/me This is not needed, but highly recommended as it improve RP. Use /me in a situation like. /me finds the keys and unlocks the handcuffs.
F2 If you press F2 on a police vehicle it will open a police computer window. In that you can check number plates, who owns a property and you can request a warrant (if you have solid proof)
Shift and Q If you are the driver of the police cruiser you can click
Shift for lights on the roof. And if it is needed press
Q to turn the sirens on. (Sirens only work if the light is on)
F Press F will turn on your headlights. Use them when driving at night or driving through tunnels.
F2 Press F2 to search a person, this can be used to see if they have illegal weapons or weed.
F3 Press F3 to fine a player. Remember to write the reason and price.
Police Levels: ExtraWhen you have to arrest someone they need to be handcuffed. When they are handcuffed drive them to Nexus (where you got the job) and you can arrest them by left click on him. Right click is to handcuff and unhandcuff.
Remember to inform the Dispatch as much as possible about your location and what you are doing, pulling over etc.
You should use the radio codes as often as possible (Radio codes ->

Spoiler for Hiden:
Be POLITE.
You act out the law.
As soon as you're an officer, announce it over radio (either voice or /radio) as well as declaring your numbers (e.g. 4-75, 1-11, 6-66).
Double up your patrol. For the love of GOD — Don't spawn the charger and drive off alone into the sunset. Odds are, you can't tame the dodge because you're 12 and someone else is left at the nexus without a car. Declare you need a patrol partner and wait for someone to pick you up. They're all doubled up? Get a car and patrol. Give dispatch your car number (a number for two people, keeping the dispatch job easier).
Load your weapon as soon as possible, don't get caught with your pants down!
Don't take extra ammo straight away. Only take this ammo if you've ran out.
Intercepting is not the same as chasing! If a cruiser is chasing a suspect, ask their location and direction, then set-up a tyre-trap and a roadblock. Declare this so no officer drives over it in the chase.
Following the chase, if he goes into the subs and is dangerous — Block it off. Clear the area, no one in or out. Then he cannot leave unless he hops a fence, then he can be chased down in a car.
Follow the law.
Make sure you know the laws before running into a problem head long.
Search warrants can be made based upon 911 information, visuals on illegal entities, extremely suspicious activity.
Gun shots and blood on the window? Raid. Seen an illegal weapon from a window? Raid. Seen drugs? Search. And so on.
Continuing off of that, you may storm a property without warrant if a wanted man/suspect storms into a house (be it his or another's), you may knock down the door and go in. e.g. A cuffed man is let into his friend's house as he runs away, so you kick down the door, shout everyone to the ground and detain the home-owner too.
If someone speeds or drives recklessly press ALT to pull them over, don't use the whole shebang; if they pull off? By all means, light up the roof and get a road trap deployed.
Don't pull over someone for no reason; if his vehicle is a black transit and that's a suspected car (and you don't have the license plate), by all means, pull him over and question and search (they have the right to decline the search).
If someone turns a corner at 55mph, ticket them. Yes it's the road speed limit, but who the fuck turns a corner at 55mph and expects to stay on the road? That's just reckless driving.
Set bail fitting to the crime — The amount of times someone has killed 3 people and stolen 2 cruisers only to have their bail be $100 is sickening.
You can have breaks to eat, refuel, but supplies, but don't take the piss.
Food patrols around the city centre are a welcome change: Win the hearts and minds of the people, talk to them, be polite ask about activities in the area or anything they want to report; Checkout local shops to see if they're legal (cash register/illegal goods); give warnings for littering, loitering, public disturbances, reckless endangerment, J-walking, noise pollution, et cetera; anything that doesn't require a car (but have it on standby).
Keep your partner close to you at all times, you never know when you'll need 4 hands.
Check license plates/properties and warrants via dispatch (if available), this will save you time in what could become a chase/heated situation.
This car is for non
VIP/
Gold players. It can be used as
VIP/
Gold tho. But it isn't as fast as the Dodge. Also handling and acceleration is different
Dodge This car can only be spawned by
VIP and
Gold members. It is faster, better handling and acceleration than the Vapid.
