PD SOP

All officers must complete the 4-session academy before active duty. No exceptions, no fast-tracking.

Cadet → Officer → Senior Officer → Corporal → Sergeant → Lieutenant → Captain → Commissioner.

Based on hours, conduct, and training metrics. No friend promotions - all moves signed off by two senior ranks.

Active PD officers may not also be active members of a whitelisted criminal faction. Periods of leave required for transfers.

While clocked on, officers remain in department uniform unless explicitly authorized for a UC assignment.

Single-officer patrols only responding to priority 3+ calls. Priority 1 & 2 require 2+ officers or mutual aid.

Traffic is structured: callsign, location, nature. No chatter on tactical channels.

PD ratio during scenes is one more than the criminal count (3 crims → 4 officers max) at scene start.

Verbal → hands → taser → less-lethal → lethal. Each step must be justifiable on bodycam.

Where practical, taser is deployed before sidearm. Exceptions for visible lethal threat.

Only against clear, present, lethal threat to officer or public. Every discharge requires a written report within the same shift.

Rubber shotgun rounds and bean bags issued by scene commander only during active scenes.

Pursuits above 120km/h in the city must be authorized by a Sergeant or above. Reckless disregard = end pursuit.

Only on straight roads, below 90km/h, and when failure to stop creates greater risk than the crash.

Air unit is requested, not assumed. One air unit per scene.

Lost visual + no air + civilian risk = call it off. We catch them tomorrow.

Every arrest requires bodycam rolling from stop through custody. Missing footage = case dismissed.

Evidence tagged in MDT within 10 minutes of seizure. Hand-offs logged by badge number.

PD must allow EMS to ask detained patients how they are feeling BEFORE processing begins.

Read rights at arrest, not after. No rights = confession inadmissible.

Two officers present minimum. No duress tactics. Recorded in the interview room with IT running.

Highest rank on scene is commander unless they defer. Scene commander owns radio comms.

Establish perimeter before engaging. No officer charges alone into a known armed scene.

Negotiators take lead on any hostage scene. Tactical posture only on negotiator authority.

Only Scene Commander gives the "scene clear" to dispatch EMS.

Corrupt officer RP is allowed but requires Command approval and a documented storyline.

Off-duty officers who witness crime should call it in, not badge into it.

IA investigates all complaints. Cooperate fully. Obstructing IA is a terminable offense.

PD staff seats are OOC privileged. Never use admin tools to advantage your officer character.
