RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

- Roleplay

• Always try to solve normal situations like traffic stops or checks through RP

• 9 officers are allowed at a bank robbery, and there is no limit for how many officers can attend the humane labs robbery or main principle bank

- Rules Of Robbery

• Always try to solve robbery situations through RP. If the robbers show no intention of RP and directly call it a code red. The NT is required to inform all units about the code red in a calm and concise way

• Only 2 boxes are authorized per person. You can't spawn boxes to block off escape routes of the robbers as it conflicts with certain RP situations

• You can only accept 2 or 3 demands of the robbers at any robbery and also bluff them after accepting their demands

- Guns

• You're authorized to use a Pistol and a Shotgun at bank robberies only if authorized by a higher ranked officer

• You are allowed to use both Shotguns and Pistol for Humane Labs

- Applying Spikes

• Only 4 spikes are allowed for an entire situation and they can only be used during a chase

• You cannot put down spikes while negotiations are happening

• Spikes are meant to be as a LAST RESORT ONLY

- Rules Of Chasing Down & Ramming Vehicles

• When you initiate a chase and you know that the robbers possess black money and have robbed a store/bank etc in front of you. You can pit them but make sure that when you pit their vehicle, your car doesn't take as much damage as theirs

• You can only pit the robbers vehicle directly. You have to wait at least 2-3 mins before then you are allowed to pit.

• In most cases the robbers will crash their cars since they don't know how to drive properly. Just wait for the moment and you will find that they have already done your job and you don't even need to pit their vehicle

• If anyone is found ramming intentionally or recklessly then there will be serious consequences

• When you've disabled their car by pitting it or if their vehicle has stopped, make sure that it's not a bluff. Robbers sometimes stop their cars to make the police get out of their vehicles so that they loose them. You can avoid this by parking your vehicle vertically in front of theirs

• You cannot shoot or taze a vehicles tyres during a chase

• Pitting a car is very easy and can be done by SLIGHTLY hitting your car into the back left/right side of the other car like in the picture below

- Code Red

• You need to know when to call it a code red and be sure about it. You also need to make sure the opposite party(robbers) know that it's a code red and vice versa. Make sure to be clear and concise when calling a code red. On Discord, say "10-9"

• If anyone attempts to take a Police officer as hostage anywhere in the vicinity of the PD or any public area with CCTV cameras (which include Garages, banks, legion square etc), LSPD is allowed to shoot without any order from the senior management. This is to ensure safety and dignity of police officers. (In such scenarios, the outnumbering criteria depends on the firepower that is being carried)

• If during a chase any police car is rammed/damaged and is brought to a stationary state and the other party attempts to take hostage with an equal number of force or a ratio of 1 police : 2 rebels, the officers in the unit are authorised to shoot for their safety. Don't forget to clearly tell them your intentions so that they know you are about to shoot first

• Whenever a bank robbery is triggered. A red circle is triggered, and a server wide message is sent to all players about it. This has been implemented just to warn any person (Player) around that area, so they could stay away from that area and not get involved against armed robbers or police. This does not mean that any robber that triggers the bank has to actively involve himself in a Code Red situation with police , they can easily opt for a hostage situation and negotiate with the Police and avoid unnecessary combat situation with the Police and provide a healthy role-play environment. I hope you understand that the Red Circle at the Bank does not mean it's clearly a Code Red Area, but just something to warn people to stay away from it
