Overview

Law enforcement factions (PD, SASF) protect the city by arresting criminals, enforcing the penal code, and maintaining public order. Officers can cuff, taze, frisk, and jail suspects. They earn bonus pay when on duty based on confiscated illegal items.

Only members of a law enforcement faction can use most of these commands. Some commands (like /frisk and /bell) are available to all players under certain conditions.

Joining

To join law enforcement, use /gps to locate the SAPD Headquarters and head there. Use /bell at the front desk to get the attention of on-duty officers. You can also watch for recruitment announcements in-game or submit a forum application on the faction's sub-board.

Going on Duty

Once you are a member of a law enforcement faction:

1. Use /duty at your HQ or division spawn to go on duty.
2. Use /heal to restore your health.
3. Use /givegun to open the armoury and equip weapons. Use /givegun config to set up a quick equip loadout.
4. Use /copacc to equip your police accessories.

Arrest System

To arrest someone, you must be at a valid arrest location (inside the PD building or at a designated arrest point) and use /jail. This opens a dialog where you select charges from the penal code.

The arrest flow works as follows:

1. Use /jail <player> near the suspect at an arrest location.
2. Select a law chapter from the list.
3. Pick individual charges. Each charge is highlighted green once selected.
4. For each charge, choose the charge type (Committed, Accessory To, Attempt To, or Conspire To).
5. Once all charges are selected, choose "Arrest" to enter a jail time.
6. Enter a jail time in minutes (must be between 1 and the suggested maximum).

Charge Types

Jail Time Caps

Fines

When a player is arrested, they are automatically fined based on the selected charges. The fine is deducted from their cash and deposited into the arresting officer's faction bank.

After Arrest

• The arrested player is teleported to a random prison cell (interior 14, virtual world 10007).
• Their wanted level is reset to 0 and weapons are removed.
• A global announcement is broadcast to all players.
• The arrest is logged in the police database.
• The arresting officer earns 4 faction points and has a 20% chance to receive a fortune spin.
• The arrested player's fingerprint is automatically added to the database.

Laws and Penal Code

Laws are organized into chapters and loaded from the database. Each law has a chapter, paragraph number, type, jail time, fine, and date type.

Law Types

Date Types

The date type of an arrest is determined by the highest date type among all selected charges. For example, if one charge is measured in hours and another in days, the arrest will display in days.

Fingerprint Database

Officers can add suspects to the fingerprint database and look up their information. This must be done inside a PD building (PD or SASF headquarters).

When you look up a player who is in the database, you see:

• Full name
• Age, height, and weight
• Driver license status and warnings
• Weapon license status and warnings
• Current occupation
• Phone number

Cuffing

Officers can cuff a suspect if one of these conditions is met:

• The suspect is tazed and within 5 meters (on foot).
• The suspect has their hands up.
• Both the officer and suspect are in the same vehicle (suspect is not driving).

A cuffed player cannot move, use commands, or enter vehicles. Their weapons are holstered and any ATM lootbag they are carrying is dropped.

Tazering

The tazer uses the silenced pistol model (weapon ID 23). Officers toggle between their deagle and tazer using /tazer or /tz.

When a suspect is tazed:

• They are frozen in place for 12 seconds.
• They cannot be tazed again while already tazed.
• Taze is blocked if the suspect fired a weapon in the last 7 seconds (gunfight protection).
• Taze is blocked if the suspect exited a building in the last 7 seconds.
• The suspect drops any money bag they are carrying.

Frisking

Frisking lets you see a player's full inventory, cash, weapons, and ammo. There are two ways to frisk:

• Without consent: You can frisk a player who is tazed, cuffed, tied, or has their hands up. No confirmation is needed.
• With consent: If the player is not restrained, they receive a request and must use /accept frisk to allow it.

Both players must be in the same state (both on foot or both in a vehicle) and within 5 meters.

Bell System

The /bell command lets any player ring the front desk bell at certain faction buildings to request attention. The message is sent to on-duty faction members along with the player's name and phone number.

Bonus Pay

On-duty law enforcement members who are not AFK (less than 5 minutes idle) share a bonus payment when illegal items are confiscated across the server. The total bonus is divided equally among all eligible officers.
