i personaly think the most important thing about getting promoted is expireance and it is going to take awhile to have expirianced every situation and promoting people becuase they are know in the community isnt a good reason. making it to where constables end up asking if somthing is right or if they did somthing wrong ( has happened way to meny times ).
ive played almost everyday sence i got cadet thats not the problem. also i see people get constable after 4 days just cause they are friends with higher ups. a big problem is though the main time i play is at night and in the morning there are almost never any cops on and as a cadet you cant really play by your self.
