Officers are expected to treat all players with respect. This is a two-way street. "Street language" is not frowned upon in the APD, you may RP freely as so long as you don't cross the lines of harassment, racism, and other extreme vulgarities. Anything reasonable that does not conflict with the APD Master Handbook, Ticket Guide or Server Rules is acceptable within the spirit of role-play. Disciplinary action will not be taken for reasonable role-play. Chapter XIV - SWAT SWAT must utilize SWAT gear during the Conquest Raids.

When starting an APD Escort Event use common sense for the minimum amount of APD Officers you should have present before starting it. As you're aware Orcas have been removed from Corporals and are now for Staff Sergeant+, Corporals will now have access to Hellcats. This decision was made by SAPD independently as the Orca is a decently armoured aerial vehicle and would be more balanced for civilians if they had to fight a less armoured aerial vehicle. Corporals that pull an Orca will be disciplined as it is a vehicle they no longer have access to at their rank, we suggest Corporals sell their Orcas however this is not mandatory. @Deputy Chief of Police, @Senior APD Member & @APD Member

This is all weapons illegal and legal. If a suspect has a charge/committed an action that warrants the seizure of a firearm and a higher-up was involved in the situation you would need to be granted permission by said higher-up. If they're involved in the processing at that point they're involved with the situation so they would be the higher-up, at this point an officer would need to confer and be granted permission. Good explanation - "If you are not in the situation then you don’t have to deal with the request and also being in Kavala doesn’t mean you were in involved". If you were not involved in the situation then the officer(s) involved wouldn't have to ask permission as you wouldn't be the higher-up in the situation. Eg. A Corporal is responding to a Pharma and a Patrol Officer has apprehended a suspect in Kavala and doesn't feel it neccesary to seize the suspect's weapon. As the Corporal or no higher-up was involved in the situation he would not need to ask for permission to allow the suspect to keep their weapon.

APD Ticket Guide Abbreviations as listed in Wanted+ Menu The listed ticket prices below are mandatory for Deputies, you may not deviate from the current listed amounts unless given approval from a higher up. SW - Seize Weapon SV - Seize Vehicle Depending on the suspect and the roleplay, Patrol Officers may deviate a ticket up to a range of 25% while Corporals have a range of 50% (Can write half tickets) when no higher ups are available. VW - Verbal Warning LEO - Law Enforcement Officer Two chances for a suspect to pay a ticket is required, while a third chance to pay may be given as a courtesy. You should not exceed three chances to pay. VL - Seize Vigi License # - Lower Vigi Tier Suspects MUST to be sent to jail if they fail to pay their tickets or have an escaping jail charge (No ticket to be given). Gov't - Government Ilg. - Illegal Suspects MAY be sent straight to jail for charges of hostage situation, charges of kidnapping a Gov't Official, 15 or more manslaughters. Pharm. - Pharmaceutical Veh. - Vehicle All crimes involving a weapon may result in the weapon being seized. The highest ranking officer involved in the situation decides whether a weapon will not be seized. Verbal Warnings are given as a courtesy Pos. - Possession (*) - Automatic Charge Patrol Officers and higher have the ability to add charges. Proper judgement should be used when adding charges. Keep in mind that when a charge warrants the seizure of a license it does not mean you have to seize the license at the time of processing. All crimes involving a weapon may result in the weapon being seized. The highest ranking officer involved in the situation decides whether a weapon will not be seized. The introduction of this line to the ticket guide is to ensure that Officers confer with their higher-up and get permission from them to allow a civilian to keep the weapon they're in possession of.

Chapter XI - Federal Events[edit] Federal Events are defined as The Federal Reserve(Fed), The Federal Penitentiary (Jail), and the Blackwater Weapons Facility (BW/Blackwater) Order of Priority: Blackwater, Federal Reserve, Jail No RP is required to engage players that are participating in a federal event (doors being cut open and/or bomb planted). All APD are free to fire on players in these circumstances. If you see a player (Clearly participating in a federal event) you can shoot them. APD may not enter the domes prior to the event unless someone is trapped inside If 5 or less officers are online during a Jailbreak, wave rule is not required. If an officer leaves an active fed they must return to the HQ before the next wave can begin. Exception: If all the cops at the federal event chase the rebels out of the federal event (The outer Anti-Air Circle) the next wave may begin You may re-enter the federal event if chasing a suspect in. Active Federal Events If the bomb is planted or doors are being cut open If there are 4 or less officers on duty, then the officers who are online are not required to respond. APD Officer(s) can be instructed by an active SAPD/Retired Chief not to respond to an active Federal Event and may instead conduct other APD duties. APD may not utilize vans at any federal events. This is intended for balance so civilians doing Federal Events aren't forced to face an overwhelming number of APD Officers uneccesarily and active SAPD/Retired Chief can prevent this at Federal Events as otherwise Officers would be obligated to respond. APD Officers are still able to play the server and make their times (rather than the alternative of logging off) whilst an active Federal Event is taking place for balance. https://wiki.olympus-entertainment.com/index.php?title=APD_Handbook&diff=3538&oldid=3531 As always post any comments or questions below. @Deputy Chief of Police, @Senior APD Member & @APD Member
