Server Rules
All rules apply server-wide. Read every tab relevant to your chosen role before connecting. Ignorance is not an accepted defence.
Always In Character On Duty
When clocked in as an officer you must remain fully in character. OOC side-conversations with civilians during active scenes are not permitted unless it is a genuine emergency.
Chain of Command
Follow orders from superior officers at all times. Disagreements must be handled through the proper chain — never argued in the field during an active situation.
No Corruption Without Approval
Corrupt officer RP (taking bribes, helping criminals, planting evidence) requires prior written approval from department leadership and must follow approved storyline guidelines.
Uniform Policy
Wear the correct uniform for your rank and division while on duty. Plainclothes is only permitted for detectives with a supervisor sign-off. Off-brand outfits are a disciplinary offence.
No Fraternising With Criminals
Officers may not assist, protect, tip off, or socially affiliate with known criminals while on duty. Any such behaviour is treated as full corruption with maximum penalties.
Professional Radio Use
Radio communications must be brief, clear, and professional. Use correct 10-codes. Do not flood comms during active situations. Social conversations belong off the radio.
Respect Civilian Rights
Do not detain, search, or arrest civilians without grounds. Profile-based stops, abuse of authority, and unjustified detentions are officer misconduct reviewed by supervisors.
Initiate With Cause
A pursuit may only begin if the suspect committed a clearly visible criminal offence. You cannot pursue based on appearance, vehicle colour, or known gang affiliation alone.
Supervisor Auth for Spikes
Spike strips may only be deployed with authorisation from a Sergeant or above. Unauthorised deployment causing a fatality escalates automatically as a use-of-force violation.
Termination Order
If a pursuit poses extreme risk to civilian life — heavy traffic, school zones, crowded areas — a supervisor can call a termination. All officers must comply immediately.
No Ramming
Deliberately high-speed ramming of a suspect vehicle is prohibited unless the vehicle poses an immediate lethal threat. PIT manoeuvres must be careful and supervised.
Air Support Protocol
Request air support via dispatch when suspects flee into industrial, rural, or off-road zones. Helicopters must not fly dangerously low in populated areas without active ground coordination.
Proportional Force Only
Force used must match the level of threat. Shooting an unarmed fleeing suspect in the back is never justified and will be treated as RDM with officer misconduct added.
Verbal Warning First
Issue a verbal command before drawing your weapon unless the suspect is actively shooting. "Hands up — Police!" is the minimum required initiation.
Non-Lethal Priority
For non-lethal situations (unarmed fleeing suspects), exhaust tasers and leg shots before any lethal option. Unjustified lethal force is treated as RDM.
Lethal Force Justification
Lethal force is authorised only when a suspect presents a direct, immediate threat to the life of an officer or civilian and non-lethal options have failed or are genuinely not feasible.
Render Aid After Engagement
After any use of force, call for EMS and provide basic first aid if safe to do so. Leaving a downed person without requesting medical aid is a conduct violation.
Officers found abusing police powers — griefing civilians, assisting criminals, or deliberately ruining RP — will be permanently removed from the department and face server-wide sanctions.
