Police Officer II+2s are Police Officers who are assigned to the Motorcycle Unit.

Police Officer II+6s are Police Officers who are assigned to Air Support Division.

Police Officer IIIs are Police Officers who have shown true determination in being the best they can be, and normally have specialised into a specific role. They put in 100% effort it everything they do, and always try to resolve a situation in the best way possible. Their knowledge of policies and laws are to a higher standard, and they have gained a reputation of being a competent Police Officer.

Police Officer IIs must have at least 1 month of employment within the Department to be eligible for upgrade to Police Officer III. Note: This is concerning eligibility; just because you have reached 1 month of employment does not mean you will automatically be upgraded to Police Officer III.

Police Officer III+1s are Police Officer IIIs who are assigned to a hazardous/special detail. Note: Police Officer III+1 is no longer a rank within the Chain of Command; it is merely a rank that may be used by characters roleplayed by Police Officer IIIs who are assigned to a specialised detail. This may include the following:

• Field Training Officer

• K9 Assistant Trainer

• Traffic Investigator

• SWAT Assistant Team Leader

Police Officer III+1+1s are Police Officer III+1s who are assigned to an Officer-in-Charge position of a Unit/Section. They are only assigned in special circumstances when there is no available Supervisor in place of the given Unit/Section.

Police Officer III+3s are Police Officer III+1s who are assigned to a Unit/Section for the purpose of training. They are only assigned in special circumstances when there is no dedicated trainer in place of the given Unit/Section, usually being performed by a Supervisor.

Police Sergeant

Police Sergeants are broken into 2 ranks: Police Sergeant I and II.

Police Sergeant Is provide field supervision to units. They take control of situations once fully briefed, and will make sure that all of the units underneath them perform their duties correctly. Police Sergeant Is gained their rank via showing excellent decision making skills, and the ability to communicate and lead their fellow officers during stressful situations. Police Sergeant Is have atleast 2 months of employment in the department.

Police Sergeant IIs have a more complex list of tasks within the Department. Most notably, they act as Watch Commanders and supervise an entire patrol watch.

Police Lieutenant

Police Lieutenants are assigned as Officer-in-Charge of various law enforcement and administrative functions. The rank of Lieutenant is split into two pay grades.

• Lieutenant Is are generally assigned as Watch Commanders at Geographical Areas.

• Lieutenant IIs are generally assigned to specialised administrative or command positions.

Depending upon the division of assignment, each Lieutenant supervises the activities of their subordinates; coordinate specialised training, ensures sufficient stock of tactical supplies and equipment; acts as a leader at the scene of a crime; and more.

Police Captain

Police Captains act as divisional Commanding Officers within the Department. The rank of Captain is divided into three pay grades. At each pay grade level they assume a more complex and difficult level of responsibility within their assignment.

• Captain Is are usually the Commanding Officer of a geographic patrol division.

• Captain IIs are usually the Commanding Officer of a specialised division, or in some cases the the Assistant Commanding Officer of a large specialised division.

• Captain IIIs are usually the Commanding Officer of a Geographical Area or a large specialised division.

As a Commanding Officer of a patrol or detective division, the Captain is responsible for inspecting and overseeing the functions or the officers and detectives to ensure compliance with the department policies, procedures, regulations and standards; inspecting personnel, facilities, and tactics for safety and/or training needs; and more.

Police Commander

Police Commanders act as Commanding Officers of Bureaus within the Department.

As Commanding Officer of a Bureau, Commanders are responsible for everything that goes on in their Bureau and ensuring the Divisions underneath the Bureau keep in compliance with Departmental policies and regulations.

Deputy Chief of Police

Deputy Chiefs are typically assigned as Commanding Officers of an Office within the Department.

Assistant Chief of Police

Assistant Chiefs are responsible for the Department when the Chief of Police becomes predisposed with other matters. 

Chief of Police

The Chief of Police controls the entire Department and answers only to the Board of Police Commissioners. They are responsible for directing, planning, and co-ordinating the enforcement of laws for the purpose of protecting persons and property, and for the preservation of the peace in the community.

Law Enforcment Reserve are ranks granted to certain members of the department who, for a good reason, cannot fulfill the activity requirement due to their commitments elsewhere, and a mutual agreement and understanding exists, where the officer in question wishes to continually be a part of the faction, and LE command agrees with such.

Law Enforcement Reserve may be granted to members of Command and Supervisory staff who are unable to fulfil their expected duties and activity requirements. The decision to grant Reserve status is up to Command Staff's discretion.

Those who wish to be granted Reserve status should reach out to the chief of police, explaining why are they unable fulfil their duties and why should they be granted Reserve status. Should a request to be put onto Reserve status be denied, that member of the department has an option to take a LOA, attempt to keep up with activity requirements, or retire. Should they fail to maintain required activity, they are liable for termination.

Should a reserve officer wish to return to their duties, they are to reach out to LE Command. Do note, they are not guaranteed to be promoted to the rank held before reassignment to reserve status.

Members of the faction who are already on reserve as of the day this policy comes into effect are not required to submit this request.
