From the rank of PCSO up to DC a person will be in what is known as the hybrid system where the rank times are guidelines, and if the officer is performing above expectations 1-4 days could be knocked off his rank time in order to produce a somewhat accelerated promotion streak for that officer. This is dependent on what rank the officer is in at the time of course. Things which might merit accelerated promotions:
Heavy integration in special departments.
Stepping up in situations. eg: bank ops.
Consistent and high amounts of feedbacks given and high amounts of positive feedback received.
Exceptional attitude, noticed by multiple people in management positions.
You are recommended to do these things to be noticed for a DS promotion:
Show you are able to effectively lead a small squad
Show you have good knowledge of both police and server rules
You are recommended to do these things to be noticed for an INSP promotion (Including previous rank recommendations):
Show you are capable of leading a medium-sized operation effectively
You are recommended to do these things to be noticed for a C/INSP promotion (Including previous rank requirements):
Prove you are capable of leading a large-sized operation effectively
Prove you are not afraid to speak your mind
Prove that you are incredibly responsible
Prove you have impeccable knowledge of both police and server rules
Once an officer has reached the rank of INSP they will be graded by their C/SUPT and sent to the Police Management. Depending on the report of the officer they could be promoted. This system works for promotions to C/INSP, SUPT and C/SUPT.
