TRIDENT gained recognition for collaborating with gangs, and its clear focus on high calibre crimes. TRIDENT operates with a clear focus on engaging with individuals that have been involved in criminal activities to secure information and cooperation to hold criminals accountable. The collaboration between the individual and the TRIDENT unit can result in a reduction in jail time and/or fine depending on the level of support and information provided leading to arrests.
TRIDENT is a division with three clear focuses that are achieved through intelligence-led law enforcement and community-based initiatives:
Reducing Gun Crime
Reducing organised gang crime
Reducing drug crime
In order to do this, TRIDENT works closely with aspects of other divisions that are officially classified as TRIDENT Support:
Counter-Terrorism Specialist Firearms Officers within Specialist Firearms Command (SCO-19)
TRIDENT Pilots within the National Police Aviation Service (NPAS)
TRIDENT Drivers within the Roads Policing Unit (RPU)
TRIDENT members are expected to maintain high levels of roleplay whilst executing appropriate police procedures correctly. You are expected to hit a minimum of 5.5 hours per week which includes CID Hours. For example, 3 hours on CID and 2.5 hours on TRIDENT would hit your minimum hours. You must be in the CMG RP Discord and must utilise your callsign at all times. TRIDENT is a very strict system where a T2 punishment is an instant non-negotiable removal from TRIDENT and TRIDENT Support. T1 punishments are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Anything that highlights any form of ego within TRIDENT will result in an instant removal from TRIDENT. You must also comply with the interrogation and plain clothing regulations linked below. You must carry all police issued required equipment on you at all times, including a HMPS Keyfob as you never know when it is needed.
If you go LOA, and it ends on the Thursday -> Sunday of a week, you will not need to hit hours or intel etc. that week. If your LOA ends from Sunday -> Wednesday, you will be expected to perform as normal.
To join TRIDENT, there are a few options:
1 month within CID
2 months within TRIDENT Support
Consistent intel forms
Consistent Good RP
No recent punishments
You must be handpicked by TRIDENT Command.
You must never reveal your identity, and you must remember within character you do not know the identity of TRIDENT, TRIDENT Support or TRIDENT Command. The following legislation protects your identity:
Pace Code C Section 2.6-A - Allows you to keep your identity hidden if you believe a person wishes to use said information with harmful intent.
Note for Guidance 2A - The purpose of paragraph 2.6A(b) is to protect those involved in serious organized crime investigations or arrests of particularly violent suspects when there is reliable information that those arrested or their associates may threaten or cause harm to those involved. In case of doubt, an officer of inspector rank or above should be consulted.
Pace Code H Section 1.14 - Allows you to refuse the distribution of evidence if you have a reasonable suspicion that the suspect will become violent or is violent.
