911b & DOJ
------------
There are two channels as a law enforcement officer. /911b is viewable to all first responders, and is also the main form of communication amongst other departments.
A message looks like this:
---->

Page 13 of 42

911b & DOJ
------------
[???] Tony_Ramone: 00-00

The ??? is what would be a callsign. Callsigns are used to tell the job of the person speaking. For example, VU typically stands for V: (VPD) U (Uniform). The -## refers to an officer.

Page 14 of 42

911b & DOJ
------------
Contact a department leader to get a callsign. As a cadet though, your callsign is [C]. To set your callsign, run the following command:

/callsign C

Then do /911b 00-00

Page 15 of 42

911b & DOJ
------------
There is a second channel, /doj, or if you're in another department like the Secret Service /ss.

Messages in /doj look like this:

(Justice) [PoliceChief] Elviis > Test

Page 16 of 42

911b & DOJ
------------
When using both doj and 911b, one should know the difference.

911b is mainly used to talk to all first responders, using radio codes. A language we know.
/doj is for DOJ only and doesn't use radio codes to communicate.

Wanted List
------------
The wanted list is one of the most confidential lists a law enforcement officer has. Telling anyone the wanted list is punishable by a dismissal, and can sometimes even result with a prosecution by the ODA in court.

Page 18 of 42

Wanted List
---- -------
To add to the wanted list run the following command:

/wl add <player> <priority 1-4> <reason>

To remove, do /wl remove <plr>

To open, /wl open

Page 19 of 42

Making Arrests
---------------
As an enforcer of the law, obviously arrests have to be made. When making arrests, you should always add the suspect to the wanted list if you can so that if you die with someone in cuffs, other officers know

Page 20 of 42

Making Arrests
---------------
That the suspect you died with is wanted. When you have someone cuffed, the goal is to get them to the prison center in Westhedge (1023, 63, -1432).

After cuffing someone, you want to do /911b 10-40.

Page 21 of 42

Making Arrests
---------------
By doing /911b 10-40, this alerts officers that the prison center needs to be secure as you are enroute there with a cuffed suspect.

When secure, they'll respond with 10-50

If not, they'll respond 10-60.

Page 22 of 42

Making Arrests
---------------
If the prison is not secure, go to the nearest police station and await for 10-50.

If it's secure, proceed into the building and do /rp checks & confiscates any contraband.
This takes anything illegal off them.

Page 23 of 42

Making Arrests
---------------
Take the cuffed suspect forward, outside another door and onto the boat. Be sure to tell the suspect why they are being arrested.

For example, "Bob, charges are murder, open carry, evasion"

Page 24 of 42

Making Arrests
---- ----------
There is a red concrete pad, drag the cuffed suspect onto the pad (this jails them) and then log the arrest.

To log an arrest, do /arrests log <player> <charges>
Then remove them from wanted list. Woohoo!

Tactics
-------
In any situation, whether it be a robbery or a kidnapping and you have to enter a room/building, units with shields always go in first, with nonshields following behind. This is a great safety tactic.

Continued ... ->

Page 41 of 42

Tactics
-------
When engaging multiple armed gunmen, a shotgun is best at close range.

Shotguns are also best when destroying vehicles.

Melee weaponry is really great with shields as well.

Page 42 of 42

Tactics
-------
When you have multiple suspects tased, two per say. Cuff one of them, and ziptie the other one. This allows you to put them both in the car to prevent glitches.

See a trainer for more tactics, thanks for reading!
