Chapter XII - Federal Events Officers may respawn to Blackwater HQ regardless of how many officers are online if there is an active Blackwater robbery. If 10 or less officers are online during an active Federal Event Deputies/Patrol Officers may utilize SDARs after 2 failed non-lethal attempts by an individual officer. These rules are being implemented into the APD Master Handbook due to an increase in the success rate of Federal Events recently. Hopefully, this allows the APD to have a realistic chance at countering a Federal Event in an attempt to make the win rate more reasonable. These rules are flexible and can change or be removed at that point. APD officers are to use common sense when utilizing these rules, they should be used when the APD is at a significant disadvantage. APD officers that are found to be abusing these rules will face disciplinary action. @Deputy Chief of Police, @Senior APD Member & @APD Member

APD undercover officers that are killed must return back to the situation with revealed identities. APD undercover officers that are with uniformed APD officers prior to an engagement must reveal their identities and engage separately to uniformed APD officers before being able to fire.

Exception: undercover officers that are fired upon may return fire. APD undercover officers responding to an active situation with uniformed APD officers must respond with revealed identities. APD undercover officers may utilize legal civilian owned vehicles without the owner's consent if it assists with their undercover operation.

Exception: APD undercover officers may enter redzones dark for the first wave if not with uniformed APD officers, however, if they choose to apprehend someone, they must verbally engage.

In such engagements, officers must make their best effort to leave once the level of risk has been reduced. Officers should not make such engagements a priority, nor attempt to intentionally put themselves in such situations.

(This includes if/when the engagement moves out of the red zone) If there is 5 or less minutes of a server restart. Deputies/POs may be authorized to use lethal force by a Senior APD member during "Any Means Necessary." Vehicle Shooting Any means necessary only encompasses bypassing APD Rules and Procedures and not Server Rules. During this period you do not have to follow APD Rules or Procedures as long as it contributes to ending the any means situation. Exception: Corporals cannot authorize Deputy/PO lethals during any means necessary.

No, it follows the same rules as if you have text engaged the illegal vehicle(s). This change is to prevent a text from having to be unnecessarily sent to the illegal vehicle(s) that the Ghosthawk has already fired upon to remain guns hot if the illegal vehicle(s) choose to leave the inner anti-air circle ring.

Chapter VIII - Searches and Seizures Seizure of Money Any person(s) who is seen involved with a robbery of any kind, inside an illegal area, charged with conducting a federal reserve robbery/drug trafficking/any robbery charge (example: Aiding in Reserve Robbery, Robbery, etc.), or interacting with a vehicle that falls into these categories may have any cash seized upon their search. Chapter XVII - APD Aircraft The Ghosthawk Ghosthawk patrols may be used to respond to heavy gang activity. The weapons may only be used on aerial, or illegal vehicles (including APD/R&R Hunters and Striders). Must be sent a text to land or park and given 10 seconds to comply. Exception: Any variant of the Blackfish only requires a 5 second engagement period. Once the text is sent, if the Blackfish pilot elects to change the Angle of Attack of the rotors to facilitate flight (read: changing rotors to take off), the Ghosthawk is guns hot. If the Ghosthawk is fired upon it may return fire, and that specific ghosthawk remains guns hot until the situation is resolved. This includes when the Ghosthawk is presented with a clear threat (Example: civilian with an explosive launcher that has engaged the Ghosthawk via text or an explosive launcher clearly pointing at the Ghosthawk in a red zone) If multiple Ghosthawks have been shot down in the same situation, any Sergeant and above may decide to return to the situation guns hot provided they notify a member of the opposing force. If an APD Ghosthawk is stolen, the APD may use Any Means Necessary to recover it. The “guns hot” call must come from a Senior APD involved in the situation. Ghosthawks mirror the “guns hot” activity of other hawks. A Ghosthawk may be authorized "guns hot" within the federal event's anti-air circle after bomb blows at a federal event in cases where civilians are holding the area without the intent to leave. Exception: Ghosthawks are authorized "guns hot" after bomb blows on illegal vehicles within the federal event's inner anti-air circle (this includes RnR armored vehicles). If an illegal vehicle is fired upon by the Ghosthawk and leaves the federal event's inner anti-air circle the Ghosthawk remains "guns hot" on the illegal vehicle. @Deputy Chief of Police, @Senior APD Member & @APD Member

Maximum amount of APD Officers able to attend APD Escort Event: Small Escort Event - 6 Medium Escort Event - 8 Large Escort Event - 10 APD Officers that are involved in an APD Escort Event must continue to participate in the APD Escort Event until the truck reaches the drop-off location or is destroyed.

Exception: Limited to 5 waves Chapter XVII - APD Aircraft Recon Aerial Vehicle Patrol - The Aircraft can be used for both recon and rapid response. Recon patrols can be performed by any APD member, with the approval of a Corporal or higher. May not directly engage ground units.

(Does not apply to Cartels/Rebels) Officers may switch from recon to rapid response, but not the other way around. Recon Patrols conducted in a Helicopter may have a pilot and co-pilot as it’s crew. Recon planes may be operated by more than one officer. @Deputy Chief of Police, @Senior APD Member & @APD Member

(This includes if/when the engagement moves out of the red zone) If there is 5 or less minutes of a server restart. POs may be authorized to use lethal force by a Senior APD member during "Any Means Necessary." Tasers are inadequate to resolve the situation.

Lethals must be used during the escort. Corporal+ must authorize PO Lethals prior to starting the APD Escort Event. The SDAR must be used by Deputies participating in the APD Escort Event. @Chief of Police, @Deputy Chief of Police, @Senior APD Member & @APD Member

The APD Escort is an event that is for civs to try and collaborate in killing the APD to get the gear inside the truck. If the truck became a KOS area (RedZone) rather than a BlueZone it is a mobile KOS area that civs are able to also drive if they kill all the APD with the truck and could take it to any area such as Kavala Square and just start shooting everyone. It is also a Server Rule not an APD Master Handbook Rule so it would be staff that would need to make the change.
