At this part of the year I think we are both disappointed tbh. The suffering before you pass out though is traumatic as fuck. Would not recommend.

During water survival training in the Army I came very near drowning due to the way I reacted to the situation. Most physically traumatic thing I’ve ever gone through. That’s absolute bullshit. Peaceful? Burn my ass.

Yeah, you seemed to have completely misinterpreted my entire point. I understand Hawk explained but I’ll still reiterate. Rex was basically giving a lot of you underage guys a lot of hope with random goals to meet to be accepted into the APD. The amount of minutes you play on the server should never warrant you exceptional status. To be accepted as an underaged player, you will need to be beyond exceptional. The bar is raised.

This means all corporal + perm whitelists are being reviewed. I’ll also be reviewing the staff structure for sapd whitelist as well. @xDROdoes have an excellent taste in music

Chapter IV - Civilian Interaction Dealing with the Public Respond to 911 Texts if possible. Officers are encouraged to find out more information from a 911 dispatch by texting the original caller. If flagged down, try to take note of the citizen’s requests for service or questions. Civilian on civilian accusations are not to be considered actionable evidence. Civilians may be detained if they are interfering with an ongoing investigation for no more than 15 minutes. If detained, the civilian must be notified as to why they are being detained. If detained, civilians are not to be left in an area that is likely to cause harm or death. (e.g. a roadway or balcony where they may fall off.) Making Contact Always announce yourself as an APD Officer or “APD”. 1. When returning to an active situation, officers are to enter the area code 3 to identify themselves as APD.

Well, holy shit. I can truly say I never expected myself to ever be in this position looking back on the day I joined the sAPD. (Former RnR Supervisor btw) I am absolutely honored to be given the opportunity to run the APD. First off I want to personally thank the 2 Chiefs that I served under during my time in the sAPD. @an overweight giant retard and I do not get along more times than not and usually do not see eye to eye, but the way he represented the APD on a regular basis and the brotherhood he formed is something I am going to strive for moving forward. @TheCmdrRex made the decision to take me on as one of his Deputy Chiefs and show me what the 'other side' of the sAPD was like and really showed me a lot of what being Chief was life. I cannot thank him enough for giving me this opportunity. Now, I dont plan to make this huge post thanking every person who helped me get here nor do I plan to turn the APD upside down. Every person I played with helped contribute to me being a better cop and leader and I thank every one of you for that. So, some things I want to pursue as Chief: TRANSPARENCY - Through my tenure here on Olympus I have seen time after time where all of these conspiracy theories have formulated over the sAPD on multiple topics. I do not want that to be an issue here. I plan to be as open as possible with the general public about how our operations are run. We have no intentions of hiding why you dont get the promotion you do or why we decide to make a change in the APD. We have no intentions of talking about other people's business (If officer A doesnt get promoted - that is HIS business, not officer B). So, at anytime anybody has a question, do not hesitate to ask. QUALITY OVER QUANTITY - For the longest time the number of officers was a huge measurement of success as Chief. That is not how I want to be known as Chief. There are too many cops that see $$$$$ on every single decision they make on cop. Im not letting that fly anymore. Cases of Robo-cop, lack of EFFORT, and overall the cop role will be taken a lot more serious moving forward. I am NOT saying you guys need to try to become any RP Gods here. I just need to see effort from you guys moving forward. AGE EXCEPTIONS - This is a big one for me. Under former command, more under-agers were being given opportunities to obtain a role on APD. There was once a standard where exceptions was meant for the exceptional. That is returning. You can feel completely open to apply as an under-ager, but do know that the standard is going to be high and you need to be an outstanding member without a toxic reputation if you want even a chance. As per usual, with new leadership, anyone with a blacklist may feel free to re-appeal and I will personally review it and make my decision. Do not have high hopes though. All exception whitelisted individuals - I will be reviewing all whitelists sometime this weekend or next week. Any rank you were promised was under a different administration and is subject to change. Some people may lose whitelists, some people may go untouched, and some may actually GAIN a whitelist. Any changes will be PMd to you personally. I have plans moving forward, but these are my immediate goals. Thank you to everyone who supported me or doubted me. You all pushed me to be better and I do hope moving forward the APD can only grow and be a better faction. I absolutely have the guys on my team to do it and we plan to make this shit great. Feel free to drop any questions you may have about my plans as Chief or really anything at all.
