Introduction
This handbook contains information on the San Andreas Police Department. It is aimed at the public but also towards our staff as a guide for common practice, and code of conduct.
To the public:
Dear Citizens of San Andreas,
The San Andreas Police Department has a mission to fill, that mission is to protect this fine state and make it a safer place. With your best interests at heart and a strong police force, we will achieve this.
Policing and Service:
1) Calling for help
If you are in need of emergency services you can call the police at 911 (( /call 911 )) and advise the call taker where it is you are and give a brief description of what is happening. One of our officers will respond to your call. We do attempt to respond to every 911 call, however, if for some reason we don’t then we will still be advised of the crime and take appropriate action.
2) Encountering the Police
In the San Andreas Police Department we pride ourselves in being professional, fair, and helpful. If you are stopped by a member of the SAPD, do not run, that will only cause trouble for yourself, be compliant and respectful and you will be shown respect back.
Police may conduct routine searches for illegal items, generally speaking, unless you are behaving suspiciously you will not be searched, however, again, compliance is always taken into consideration. The police may not search you if they do not have reasonable suspicion or a warrant.

Vehicle Information
SAPD Patrol Car:
This is what you will mainly be driving. As a cadet, you MUST patrol with an officer. Cadets are NOT allowed to drive this vehicle unattended, or without permission from High Command.
Ranger:
It isn't very fast, but it has moderate handling and it has great suspension for rough terrain. It also has enough power to ram most cars off the road. You must be at least a Sergeant rank or above to use this vehicle. The only exception would be SWAT Officers on SWAT Patrol which is assigned by a Lieutenant or above.
Motorbike:
Although it is slow, it is excellent at turning corners. It can come in useful when chasing vehicles, as it is hard to get away from bikes on a turn. Due to how small the bike is, it is not a vehicle used for ramming. You must have permission from a sergeant or above to use it. However, Corporals are allowed to use this vehicle at their own discretion, unless told otherwise.
Mr. and Mrs. Splashy:
The Splashys are excellent vehicles for riots. The water cannon can halt the gunfire of any civilian. It is slow, but has excellent handling and ramming abilities. You need permission from a Lieutenant or above to use this vehicle. The only exception would be the SWAT Team taking it out for use in a SWAT situation.
SWAT Vehicle:
An armored vehicle with above average speed and decent handling. Once enough momentum is gained, this truck can just about ram any car off the road. This vehicle is only used for SWAT situations and SWAT Patrol, unless directed otherwise.
Polair:
The helicopter of the PD. Since it can fly above streets without making turns, it is impossible to escape from. Polair is used to feed the location on any suspects the PD that is on-chase. You must have permission from a Sergeant or above to take this vehicle out.
Predator:
The boat of the PD. It is obviously used in boat chases. It has a mounted cannon that the driver can operate and enough space for people on board to shoot as well. You may only use this with permission from a Sergeant or above.
Unmarked Car:
An unmarked police vehicle that looks like a plain civilian vehicle. This vehicle only to be used if you are a member of the Detectives Bureau or if you have permission from either the Deputy Commissioner or Commissioner. High Command may use these vehicles whenever they feel like it.
Miranda Rights
Miranda Rights are an important part of our constitution in real life. If a police officer in real life were to forget to read the suspect his rights the suspect would be able to have all charges dropped and possibly get himself fired. Every time you put cuffs on a suspect regardless of the location or situation you must read these rights each and every time. Failure to do so will result in loosing your job and suspect walking away without jail time. There are many versions of the Miranda Rights yet we only use the one provided below.
You have the right to remain silent.
Anything you do or say can and will be used against you in the court of law.
You have the right to an attorney after initial processing has been completed.
Do you understand these rights as I have said them?
Refilling Vehicles
You must keep our police department vehicles at all times above 50% fuel. If you get in a chase you will have plenty of fuel to finish out the duration of that chase. If you are running low on fuel in a chase and you know you wont be able to keep up make sure you inform us all. Before you log off or return your pd car to the garage please fill it with gas.
TeamSpeak
Being in TeamSpeak at all times while on duty is mandatory. If you are not in TeamSpeak when ever you are in game you may receive an internal affairs strike for not being in TeamSpeak while in game. Also when you get into TeamSpeak, hop in the channel THAT YOU BELONG TO. Remember, that if there is too many cadets online, some will have to go on MPS duty, while the others patrol with an officer. MAX 2 Cadets Per Officer.
Chain of Command
You are in your position for one reason, to obtain a better understanding of how the police department works. So if someone is a higher rank than you and tells you something, you better do it. As a cadet you may feel like you know everything there is to know. Trust us, you don't. Keep in mind once you screw around at any rank chances are you will be removed. Respect everyone in the police department no matter what their rank is.

The Force Matrix
Shots Fired:
DO's:
* Spend a moment evaluating the situation. Just because someone is discharging a weapon doesn't always make them a threat, they could be an off duty/undercover officer and/or a carded civilian protecting themselves within the law.
* Run to cover.
* Pop out from cover and pick your shots.
* Give chase if you're sure you won't be shot as a result.
* Use TeamSpeak and give us vitals on the number of shooters and location, etc.
* Call an 11-99
DONT's:
* Run toward, around or past an active shooter. The only place you should be running is to cover. Don't try and get close by chicken running at him, it looks really bad.
* Stay in the open and hope for the best.
* Spray wildly.
* Bug abuse. You get caught using any quick-shooting bugs, whatever, count yourself done in this department.
* Set up where you could take cross-fire. Don't surround someone in a circle, as if one person fired and missed or the shot exited the suspect, it would hit the officer opposite.
* Scream in TeamSpeak.
* Continue to shoot when the threat no longer exists. If they stop their hostile actions are you expected to act accordingly (IE if the suspect gives up, drops his weapon, or turns and runs you must stop shooting.
Force Matrix:
Force Level 1
- Suspect may be verbally assaulting you or others
- Suspect starts to show aggression in his tone of speaking
- Suspect may be taunting you, or using foul language
Your Actions:
At this point in time you are not authorized to use any physical means of force at all. You may issue verbal warnings at this point in an attempt to calm down the suspect. No hands on or support equipment required.
Force Level 2
- Suspect has committed a crime
- Suspect is disobeying direct orders from a LEO
- Suspect is starting to hint at violent actions
- Suspect is starting to make aggressive movements with his body
- Suspect may seem to be preparing for a physical engagement
- Suspect is increasingly getting worse with his aggression in his tone against you, or others
- Suspect is showing disrespect against you or another person
Your Actions:
At this point in time you are not authorized to use any secondary equipment. Call for assistance using a Code 3 Backup request, and move to a hands on approach of trying to escort the person from the situation or away from potential victims using voice commands and light gestures. ((* Ramazan Malice gently pushes the man in the other direction)).
Force Level 3
- Suspect has committed a crime
- Suspect may be using physical contact against you or another person
- Suspect may be using a non lethal weapon on you or another person
- Suspect may be threatening your life or another persons life
- Suspect is actively involved in any physical fight
Your Actions:
At this time you are only allowed to only use a tazer, pepper spray or a nightstick to detain the suspect. You are to call in for code three backup from other officers at this time. Under no circumstances should you withdraw your firearm unless the situation reaches force level 4 for a serious assault or crime.
Force Level 4
- Suspect has done or is committing a felony crime
- Suspect is brandishing a firearm
- Suspect is assaulting another person with a vehicle
- Suspect has placed your life or another persons life in danger
- Suspect is seriously assaulting another person ((causing the person or you to be on low health))
Your Actions:
At this point and time we observe that the suspect is possibly threatening another human life. At this point and time you are allowed to upholster your firearm and take aim on the suspect. Under no means should you ever fire unless the force level reaches 5. Also you are NEVER to tazer any suspect that is actively discharging a firearm. Note: If you warn someone to put away/drop a firearm and they do not comply, after the fifth warning you are expected to use your own judgment on how to handle the situation.
Force Level 5
- Suspect has done or is committing a serious felony crime
-Suspect is in the act of seriously assaulting you or another person to near death
- Suspect has a firearm and is aiming at you or other civilians
- Suspect may be firing the firearm at you or other civilians
- Suspect may be in a car attempting to hit you or other civilians
- Suspect is fleeing in a vehicle after three warnings have been issued
- Suspect has a hostage
Your Actions:
At this point you are allowed to open fire at the suspect and shoot to kill. You are to do your best to avoid these situations but if they occur you are authorized to use deadly force. In regards to the suspect fleeing in a vehicle after you have gave him his ample supply of warnings your partner may shoot out his tires with approval. Once you hit one tire you should not be shooting anymore. You should radio in for code 3 assistance
Pursuits:
When in a high speed pursuit there are a few rules you must obey:
- Do NOT overtake the lead car. The lead car is the person who called the backup. Do not overtake unless they give you permission over radio to overtake them, or if they are somehow pulled out of pursuit (Ex: Hitting a lamp post which stops the vehicle's momentum of chase)
- If you crash your car and other officers on duty are behind you then pull over to the side and let them pass you; once the last car has gone past you follow it.
- Always keep other units updated on your current location and the description of the vehicle; any information that might assist in their capture.
- Do NOT open fire on a vehicle who is not actively shooting itself
- No more than 3-4 cars are required. Do not all respond, and mention who is responding.
Other Important Information
Going Away/Inactive:
If your going away for a few days and/or going to be inactive during that time, or you are just going to be inactive for awhile. Then let us know about it in this topic. This is very important to do if it applies to you, seriously if you go inactive for over one to two weeks and don't post it in that topic/let us know, you will be moved to the "To Be Uninvited When Next Seen" list.

Pertaining To Lawyers
I'm sure all of you have noticed how Lawyers tend to come and go as they please in the PD and don't usually RP the job. Well, I've devised a few steps to control some of this chaotic and Non-RP behavior.
Step 1: Ask them for "documents" (( /showlicenses )).
Step 2: Have them get against the wall, then frisk them.
Step 3: Ask for the client's name.
Step 4: Have the Lawyer wait outside the door and go check for their client in the cells.
Step 5: If client is present, alert them that their Lawyer has arrived, if not then have the Lawyer leave the PD.
Step 6: Go escort the Lawyer in, to the Cells. After, wait for the two to roleplay the situation and do not allow the Lawyer to lower more than one person's time.
Step 7: After the Lawyer is done with their client escort him out of the building, and the client if he/she has been released from jail.
