Vehicles

The garage list is gated by rank, and it starts humble. A Cadet gets a mountain bike. Officer I unlocks the LSPD Blazer and Verus ATVs, and the list grows from there through marked and unmarked cars up to the Bearcat, the SWAT Landstalker, the bail enforcement van, the stakeout van and the transport bus at the top ranks. There is a department helicopter as well.

On the job

  • DELETE opens the MDT: records, warrants, BOLOs, reports and citations.
  • F5 opens the speed radar and plate reader. There are fixed speed cameras dotted around the map too.
  • K marks the last 911 call on your GPS.
  • Citizens reach you with /911, anonymously with /911a, and non-urgently with /311. They can also call or message Police from the Services app on their phone.

Roleplay expectations

Police carry more responsibility than any other job here, because almost every criminal storyline runs through them. Give people room to roleplay instead of rushing to cuffs, value your character's life, and accept it when someone gets away.

Corrupt officer storylines need explicit approval from PD command first.
