8. At robberies, PCSOs or unarmed officers need to block the roads off as part of scene control. Under no circumstance should you approach the door, as the robbers will be armed.

11. Cutting suspects sentences because they are associated with you is not allowed.

12. Officers are only allowed to go off duty and do robberies when there are a minimum of 8 police officers on (not including special constables). Failure to comply will result in a PD warning.

13. Organized drug raids can only happen, if the Commissioner or the Deputy Commissioner authorises it, and for good reason. This doesn't include going to drug locations as there's been shots fired, that is not a raid.

14. You're only to stop and search someone if you are commanded by a higher-up or have valid suspicion.

15. If a suspect is on the ground injured you leave the suspect. Do NOT pick it up and move it, if the body is in the road, then set up scene control and divert traffic to prevent it interfering with the scene.

16. You are not to sit around doing nothing. If there isn't much action in terms of robberies, then perform some traffic stops, do transport for other officers etc.

17. You are to follow traffic laws at all time that means stopping at red lights etc. There's already a system in place where failure to comply with this rule, will result in you doing a ride-along with another officer for 2 hours.

18. Firearms are only to be discharged when authorised by the highest up officer on duty at the time, but keep in mind, just because shoot to kill is authorised, doesn't mean you shoot them if they aren't posing a threat to you. (Always keep in mind the less-lethal option or shoot to injure).

19. You are only to cuff someone if they have their hands up and you must be behind them. If you fail to comply with this, then it will result in punishment.

24. If you have transported a suspect to the holding cells after arresting them, but you haven't read them their rights, IF they mention that you have to let them go, you must do so as he is being held illegally.

25. You cant just say you "checked your bodycam" after you died to remind yourself, its classed as metagaming/power gaming.
