Hi there! This guide will help you to understand the Police Chief Job! The Police Chief is not above law. He have to follow the same rules and as any other Officer.
The first thing we need to know a little about is the cop rules.
1. Do not randomly arrest/handcuff players
--- Do not handcuff someone because they're annoying you. They have to be breaking a law.
--- Only handcuff/arrest if you have a valid reason to do so.
--- The handcuff rules applies to zip-ties as well.
2. Only use your sidearm if your life is in danger. Walking around with your gun out is not allowed.
--- Do not use it to scare others or for "fun".
--- Do not depend on shooting vehicles to stop them.
3. You must try all means necessary to stop a criminal in a vehicle before shooting it.
--- You need to wait at least 5 minutes in a car chase before shooting their vehicle.
--- You may shoot a car if it is for a serious crime, ex. murder.
4. You may not invade property without a warrant.
--- Get a warrant from the mayor or the police chief. If there is none and you cannot get a warrant, you cannot invade property.
--- Even if you KNOW they have pot, you cannot raid them without a warrant
(Remember seeing weed through the wall isn't a reason, you have to actually see the weed inside)
5. Get a proper warrant
--- Roleplay getting the owner of the houses name via your police cars radio/police computer.
--- Do not just look on the door to see who owns the place.
6. Do your job
--- Do not ignore cries for help or 911 calls.
--- Listen to those above you (Mayor, or police chief) SWAT and Police Officers are the same rank.
Yes yes! Now we know the rules.
How to get the job: To get promoted to be Police Chief there have to be a Mayor. It is only the Mayor who can promote an Officer to Chief. To be Chief you have to know the rules and how to be a cop. Maybe if you have worked hard and arrested a lot of criminals the Mayor choose you.
Job Description/Purpose: As Police Chief you are responsible of all the online police units. If there is a raid or a big gunfire, YOU are the one in CHARGE! You plan the attack and are a part of it! You can also accept warrants if needed, but remember there have to be solid proof to give the warrant.
You are the one that can promote an Officer to SWAT (But ONLY promote a SWAT member if NEEDED!, since they may not do anything but assist in raids and gunfights) You are also in charge of the SWAT!
The police Chief does not have any other vehicles. If the Chief is VIP/GOLD they can drive the Charger if not, they are stuck with the Vapid.
(In the next update you have to be a special rank to get promoted to Chief)
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.

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.
