Changes Appear In Red/Green Chapter X - Illegal Areas Any area marked with a red crosshatch is considered an illegal area, including active Jails, Blackwaters, Banks, and Federal Reserves. Officers must announce themselves when entering an illegal area with code 3. Code 3 automatically engages all armed civilians in the illegal area. Exception: No code 3 is needed when entering an active bank. Illegal Area may be patrolled every 15 minutes. Officers must not remain in, or monitor, an illegal area if there is no activity During situations inside of illegal areas, officers must respond in waves A wave is finished when all officers have been killed or neutralized The last officer of a wave may surrender and become neutralized, and remain until reached by APD forces, then they can return to HQ. On the first wave to an area, officers may call in first wave backup. If the backup does not arrive before the original group dies, they must wait in place for the second wave to catch up, or until the civilians reach them All waves after the second must start with ALL officers at an HQ or waiting to spawn at such HQ Officers leaving a situation must reach HQ before the next wave can begin if they are to participate in the next wave. If the civilians leave the illegal area, waves are no longer required If you are apart of the same wave that entered an illegal area you may re-enter after having left. Exception: No wave rule is required when responding to an active bank. You may only enter the Conquest Event due to pursuing someone in, you may call first wave backup, but may only open fire upon the fleeing suspects and other civilians directly engaging the officers. Exception: The APD may NOT return for a second wave. Once an illegal area has been secured, all officers may return and begin cleanup. Rebel Outpost raids: There is a Sergeant+ with at least 2 other officers The entire wave must enter code 3, or “Go Dark” and verbally engage. If the senior officer is captured, raids may continue to recapture them. Cartel/Warzone raids: Must follow Rebel raid rules Must have probable cause to raid unless APD has reasonable suspicion of a suspect fleeing there. Five waves maximum per warzone raid. Patrol Officers are authorized lethals during warzone raids Exception: Following someone in first wave. If you enter Warzone without a Sergeant+ due to pursuing someone in, you must check the general area of the suspect you chased in. Once the situation is deemed clear, you are to leave. Do not check the rest of the Warzone Island. Once APD has engaged rebel forces in a Cartel/Warzone, they may continue to raid it following standard rebel raid rules until the situation has been neutralized at that Cartel/Warzone. POs+ may enter for a single wave to negotiate a hostage situation. **Civilian Event.**

Changes Appear In Red/Green Chapter XIV - APD Aircraft Aircraft Patrols Recon Patrols may be performed by an officer to relay info to ground units May not directly engage ground units Must leave with the wave, but does not have to return to HQ when wave ends Must not use lights and sirens May switch to rapid response Recon planes may be operated by more than one officer Planes should only be used when responding to an active or impending situation (Planes may not be used to scout the entire map without due reason) Recon helicopters may have a maximum of two occupants; a pilot and co-pilot Rapid Response These patrols engage with criminals on the ground Must use lights+sirens when patrolling illegal areas In order to switch to Recon, they must return to HQ Armed Airplane patrols Armed planes will follow Ghosthawk engagement rules Armed plane can also engage high-value ground vehicles. Armed planes mirror the guns hot status of the Ghosthawk, not vice-versa Chapter XV - Bait Cars Bait cars may only be used for patrol by SGT+ Bait cars may be left in illegal areas, but those areas may not be camped A marked vehicle must accompany the bait car into the zone Movement of the GPS tracker is probable cause to raid, regardless of time. Bait cars may only be given to civilians to facilitate APD operations. Sergeants and higher may utilize undercover Hatchbacks, SUVs, Vans, and Qilin for patrolling illegal areas. **The last update about planes, fully disregard that last update. This is what is effective Immediately.**

Changes Appear In Red/Green Chapter I - Professional Standards Conduct Officers may conduct themselves casually, but are expected to be polite and professional, and to obey orders from a higher up. Do not quote rules on cop, medic or civilian. Be creative when discussing issues or make use of the Support channel in Teamspeak. Officers are expected to intervene when other Officers are breaking rules. Metagaming Officers are expected to wait 15 minutes before switching factions on the same server, and may not use any information previously gathered to their advantage. Deployments Same Server redeployments should be conducted by a Corporal+ Cross Server redeployments may be conducted by an FTO+. Officers may respawn to other HQs if there are less than 6 officers online, if a deputy is traveling to accompany a PO who is not in an active situation, or if they spawn in the wrong place. **While you still can not quote Server Rules on cop, you can talk about the handbook.**

Changes Appear In Red/Green Preface - Application Process and Rank Progression 1. Application - Application info can be found HERE 1. Interviews will test the rule knowledge of candidates. 2. Asking a senior APD member for an interview is the best way to delay it 2. At any point if the Senior APD feel you are unfit for your position, your rank can be adjusted accordingly.

I can finally have more then one hawk on cop now.

Count me in

Correct

Depends if they go to the deputy (Other APD officers have to reach him before he can start heading back to hq) also the deputy is no longer part of any wave, as he is neutralized and can’t participate until he returns to hq.
