       [center]In this board you will find everything what you need to
       know in order to become a proper police officer of the ISA. It
       is obligatory for all members to read this document
       meticulously, since it has really important information. This is
       the general theory for police officers in the ISA, therefore our
       members will have to learn it and apply it to the In Game
       issues. [/center]

       1. Providing a service, improving the community
       It's really important to know that we are providing a service
       and that our main goal is to help the community. We are not
       selfish players so be helpful at all times. If you can't feel
       that, then this group is not for you.

       [size=11pt]Dealing with unwanted reckless drivers: How can you
       tell if someone is a reckless driver? You should follow him in
       order to know his regular way of driving. Once you spotted him
       as a reckless driver you should proceed to pull him over by
       turning on your sirens and telling him to "pull over to the side
       of the road". If the driver does it,  then you should explain to
       him what was wrong about his way of driving. Once he has
       listened to you, you should let him go.
       However if the driver ignores you completely, a vehicle
       "pursuit" would be started. Remember calling for backup. But,
       what's really your goal by pursuing a un-wanted criminal? Your
       goal is to inform him about what he was doing wrong and what
       would be the right thing to do. If he doesn't give you time to
       approach to his window to talk, then just speak directly from
       your police cruiser. If he is still ignoring you, just abandon
       the pursuit, we are not willing to "troll" them in any way.
       Valid reasons to abandon the pursuit would be: The driver speaks
       another language so he is never going to understand; the driver
       begins to threaten you about reporting you; it is impossible to
       stop him and he is never going to listen; the driver is just
       ignoring you and he just don't want to listen.
       NOTE: If the driver appears to be a troll, do not stop, he is
       eventually going to lose his mind and do something to you, so be
       cautious and call for backup. But, do not use police maneuvers,
       unless the driver is crashing into people's cars and being
       reckless practically on purpose, all in all just in extreme
       cases.

       ---------------------------------------------------------
       2. Equipment
       We have certain official weapons that we are going to have with
       us at all times. If you don't have money to buy them all do not
       worry, they are not "obligatory" but they are highly
       recommended.
       Long distance rifles: Sniper rifle / Rifle (You can choose
       between this two useful long distance rifles)
       Assault Rifles: M4 (The M4 assault rifle is the most basic
       weapon we are going to have with us)
       Short distance: Spas-12 / MP5 (You can choose between these two
       wonderful weapons, one will let you run and be really fast, the
       other one will count with high caliber bullets)
       Handguns: Silenced Pistol / Desert Eagle (You can choose between
       these weapons, one will work as a taser, the other one as a high
       caliber handgun)
       Nightstick: Well, we need it for obvious reasons.
       An instructor should order members to line up and to take out
       each weapon, as he speaks about the importance of each of the
       weapons used on the ISA. Just to give members a nice
       introduction to their new equipment. For example: *Everyone
       takes out the sniper rifle* This one is a long range weapon,
       it's really useful when dealing with suspects which are at a
       long distance away from your position. It will be used when...
       (All in all, explain a bit to them when to use them, how
       effective they are, etc)

       3. Vehicles
       By: Gunslinger Date: October 8, 2012, 10:54 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       3. Vehicles
       When patrolling it is highly recommended to use the standard
       police cruisers of San Andreas, we use the SFPD and LVPD police
       cars. You can also patrol with another car, but we do not
       recommend that since the standard police car was specifically
       made to deal with emergency situations. If you are using other
       car instead of the SFPD or LVPD vehicle to patrol, it's
       recommended to use a high speed vehicle to assist on possible
       high speed pursuits.
       So basically you are gonna have to become a professional when it
       comes to driving a standard police cruiser. That's perhaps your
       first important goal in ISA. You will also have to learn how to
       drive properly with it, respecting server rule #17 at all times.
       Another important thing you will have to get used to, is to park
       your vehicle at all times. For example if you are gonna move a
       blocking vehicle out of the road, you should first park your
       vehicle. Sometimes when a pursuit/chase ends, you have to get
       out of your car really quick, it doesn't matter if you left you
       car on the middle of the road if it's an emergency, but be sure
       to come back and move it as soon as possible.
       Also you will have to learn to use your vehicle as cover, it's a
       really basic thing to do and believe it or not, it's gonna save
       your life a lot of times.
       When your vehicle reaches 20% of fuel, then it's time to re-fuel
       it or spawn a new one.

       4. Driving
       By: Gunslinger Date: October 8, 2012, 10:57 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       4. Driving
       As you should already know, we drive as a police officer would
       drive in real life. That means we should be really careful when
       doing it, driving always on the right side, looking if another
       car is coming in order to make a dangerous turn, etc. We count
       with this splendid tool, our radar, where we can see other
       people's locations. You should always be aware of your radar, be
       careful and by following these steps you probably won't get in a
       car accident.
       Emergency driving: When we turn on our emergency sirens to get
       fast to a certain location, you are supposed to use an
       "Emergency driving" style. How does it work? Well, it doesn't
       mean that you are gonna be driving completely fast and
       completely reckless making irresponsible turns just to get to
       your destination. Emergency driving takes time to practice, it's
       about being completely responsible with your way of driving and
       taking safe turns (by braking and slowing down before making the
       turn), not skidding/drifting since most of the times it's a
       dangerous maneuver).

       5. Arresting wanted people
       By: Gunslinger Date: October 8, 2012, 10:58 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       5. Arresting wanted people
       We are the law here in CIT, so we are gonna have to deal with
       criminals very frequently. You can tell if someone is wanted by
       checking the number between the "[ ]" symbol next to the
       criminal's name. Here is an explanation about the wanted levels:
       1 star players: We do not arrest these guys if they are acting
       nicely. Anyone can get 1 star by accident or something, so we
       try to be comprehensive with these people. However, if we see
       them trolling, ramming other people or putting other lives in
       danger you should arrest them. We need to use common sense when
       arresting 1 star players. Once you arrest a 1 star player you
       must tell him why you are arresting him.
       Felony list:
       - Reckless Driving (Anything related to vehicle misuse)
       - Vandalism (When the suspect tries to destroy/mess something
       which is not his)
       - Public Violence (Any act of agression against someone, if it's
       without a firearm)
       - Domestic Violence (Same as public violence, but it applies
       when the aggressor and victim are friends, just to have a bit of
       variety)
       - Attempted Murder (Any act of agression against somone, using a
       firearm)
       - Public Disturbance (Any attempt to generate chaos such as
       blocking the road with a vehicle, trying to start a fight, etc)
       - Law Obstruction (Disobeying/disrespecting/teasing a police
       officer)
       2 star players: We arrest above 2 stars, that means that if we
       see a 2 star player while patrolling we will automatically
       pursue the player. Once you arrested him, it is not obligatory
       to tell him the reason of the arrest, since there is actually no
       particular reason. Players above 2 stars are wanted because of a
       real felony so we should arrest them immediately.
       3 or more star players: In CIT's police computer you can pin
       above 3 stars, however we are not going to use it to "hunt"
       every criminal above 3 stars on the map since that's not how we
       work and you should already know that. You are allowed to mark
       them to use it just as a guide, so that if you are near one of
       them you can spot them easier and call for backup if necessary.

       6. Warning unwanted people 
       By: Gunslinger Date: October 8, 2012, 11:00 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       6. Warning unwanted people (New - Changed)
       As you may already know, all the 1/2/3/4/5/6 star players once
       had "0" stars. That means 0 star people can cause trouble too,
       and eventually getting a star depending on their actions. In
       theory and according to CIT these people are unwanted and we can
       not arrest them just like that. However (depending on the case)
       we can use the /report command to report their actions, if those
       actions can be proved by a ScreenShot. For example punching cars
       randomly is counted as DM, so if someone starts doing it, you
       can easily report it with the /report command, using it at the
       right time. However, there are things that can not be 100%
       proven with a ScreenShot.
       The most common rule that unwanted players will break without
       getting a single star is the server rule #17 (misconduct). It's
       really hard to prove this with a ScreenShot though, so we have
       other possibilities. We try to warn them politely about what
       they are doing wrong and we try to keep an eye on them. If they
       persist doing the same thing then we can proceed by:
       - (If they are on foot) Being patient is the key. If the player
       is on foot doing something wrong he will probably end up having
       a star, because he is probably a troll, so just call for a bit
       of backup and wait for him to get out of control (which is very
       likely). If not, if he is still doing something wrong but he has
       no stars then just leave it there. Unfortunately, we can do
       nothing about it.
       - (If they are on a car) Observing carefully is the key. If you
       find a reckless driver follow him to see if it is his natural
       way of driving, or if it was just a coincidence. If indeed it is
       his natural way of driving warn him. If he ignores you and keeps
       on doing the same thing you can proceed to turn your sirens on
       completely and tell him to bring his vehicle to full stop, if he
       does it, you should proceed with the Highway Patrol procedures.
       What if the driver doesn't stop and ignores you? Well, in that
       case which is the most common, you are supposed to tell him at
       some point about what he was doing wrong, not necessarily by
       approaching to his window but by talking directly from your
       police cruiser. We are just supposed to warn them and remind
       them about the server's rules. If they still are not listening
       to you, just leave it there and abandon the pursuit. What would
       be a reason to use a police maneuver in order to stop him? Well,
       police maneuvers against unwanted drivers are just gonna be used
       on extreme cases, if the driver is being completely dangerous
       and reckless, at a point that it seems on purpose, then you are
       allowed to use maneuvers and try getting his attention. And, if
       he is still not listening after a couple of maneuvers, then
       abandon the pursuit immediately. He will be eventually Admin
       Jailed by a staff member and if not, do not worry, mister karma
       is always there.

       7. Marking Criminals
       By: Gunslinger Date: October 8, 2012, 11:01 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       7. Marking Criminals (F5 Police Computer)
       You are allowed to mark criminals as long as you don't use it to
       "hunt" them or just caring about them. Normally usual cops use
       their police computer to mark criminals above 3 stars and get
       "fast money", but that's not our way of working in ISA. You can
       mark them in order to use it just as a guide, so if by chance
       you get to see a high wanted criminal in your small radar (near
       to your position), you can try following him and a chase would
       be started.

       8. When to open fire? 
       By: Gunslinger Date: October 8, 2012, 11:02 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       8. When to open fire?
       This differs if you are on foot or in a vehicle pursuit:
       On foot: If a criminal opens fire at you or at anyone, you are
       100% allowed to open fire and take him down. Otherwise we will
       always try to arrest criminals, not to kill them like savages.
       What if you are on foot and you spot a wanted player driving a
       car? Well, in that case you are allowed to shoot at his tyres
       only (you will need practice for that). Try not damaging the car
       itself since popping out his tyres would be enough to bring the
       pursuit to an end.
       When the criminal ends up in water there's no need to shoot him
       since we can now arrest them by using our nightstick near to
       them. However if it turns impossible to arrest them, because of
       them being bugged or because of it taking really long to get
       them, we are allowed to slowly open fire at them after warning
       them at least 2 or 3 times about it.
       In a car: The standard police cruisers have a really nice speed
       and acceleration that just a few fancy and high speed vehicles
       can surpass. If the criminal you are chasing is driving a
       standard speed vehicle, there is basically no need to open fire
       at his tyres (tyres only) unless: A) The pursuit is taking too
       long and after warning the driver several times about popping
       out his tyres he stills trying to get away B) You have already
       warned the suspect about popping out his tyres and there are
       absolutely no units responding.
       When the criminal is driving a high speed vehicle, you are
       allowed to fire at any part of his car at all times, after
       warning him about it at least one time. You can only do that if
       the criminal is driving one of the following cars: Hotring racer
       1/2/3, Super GT, Comet, ZR-350, Turismo, Banshee, Bullet,
       Cheetah, Infernus and Buffalo. However, if you have been
       shooting at his car and you have already popped out 3+ of his
       tyres, you should consider to ceasefire because our main goal is
       to make him stop by surrounding him with our cruisers, not by
       shooting at his car until destroying it like savages. Besides,
       by popping out 3+ of his tyres, most of the time he will end up
       destroying his car by himself, crashing into walls, trees, etc.
       Same applies to any kind of high speed bike (if you can make
       them fall, then make them fall).
       So it's really important to know that opening fire when being in
       a car (as a passenger) is mostly used as a last resort.

       9. Patrolling
       By: Gunslinger Date: October 8, 2012, 11:03 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       9. Patrolling
       Patrolling the San Andreas state is our main activity. You can
       patrol by yourself and you can also patrol with a team mate,
       both ways of patrolling are correct. However, patrolling with a
       partner can be way more useful. You already know how to patrol
       by yourself, but what's your job when being at the passenger
       seat of the police patrol?
       Basically helping with everything, since you are not driving and
       your hands and concentration are free to do a lot of other
       things. For example, when your team mate is pursuing a car you
       should warn him to stop (by typing it), tell the reason of him
       being chased, warn when you are about to open fire, open fire if
       necessary, tell you team mates what's your location, what
       direction you guys are going.
       Also when patrolling, we attend to civilian 911 calls. It is not
       our first priority since unfortunately here in CIT the most of
       the people call the police just to mess around. However, if
       there is a call and you feel like attending you should mark the
       player on your phone and then approaching to his location. Once
       there you should ask him if he needs police assistance and to
       see what can you help with. The 911 calls will appear at the top
       center of your screen in a blue color and it will say:
       "The-name-of-the-player has requested police assistance at
       the-location"
       Also, when patrolling, you shouldn't exceed 100KPH on streets
       and 130KPH on highways.
       A instructor should show the ISA's particular way of patrolling,
       explain that we are not gonna be "hunting" high wanted criminals
       only by using always our police computer. The instructor should
       also show how the police codes work and how to apply them to
       different situations.

       10. Requesting Backup
       By: Gunslinger Date: October 8, 2012, 11:04 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       10. Requesting Backup
       "Backup", that word plays perhaps the most important role in
       ISA. When are you supposed to ask for backup? It's simple:
       Whenever you think it's needed. It's really relevant to know
       that your safety is really important in an RP law group, as well
       as your team mates safety. Here in ISA it doesn't matter how
       many kills/arrests you got, it matters how long can you stay
       alive. You should call for backup if there is a vehicle pursuit
       in progress, if you think you have found a troll, if there is a
       guy following you that is making you nervous, if you need
       transport, if you think that you cannot solve an issue by
       yourself, etc. All in all, you should call for backup the same
       way cops do it in real life.
