Radio codes are generally optional as long as the message is clear and concise. The codes listed below are the only codes which are authorized for use within the department, using others may confuse your colleagues and cause critical issues, therefore it is a disciplinable offense to use other codes in the main radio.

Devblog #1

Welcome to the first development blog! Here’s what we have been up to lately.

A fresh gamemode

I have made the first few steps towards a rewrite of the whole gamemode, this is being done to provide a more stable and optimized experience. As well as ease the ability for us to implement new features. We don't have anything visually to show as of yet, but it's a base for what's to come.

The new map - our very beginnings

Me and Toastinator have been carefully planning out the layout for the map, we've so far set a solid aim on what we want to achieve and where we want to take it. We'll be making the map more compact, with many areas connecting to one another. With such map design we hope to provoke roleplay and player interaction, tackling down the problems of the previous map.

The Lambda Complex, work in progress
(please note this is nowhere near being finished)

TheShadowMan I feel that the timespan in which you are appealing for this ban is rather short, the situation being frustrating is not a valid excuse for disconnecting, as it's blatantly breaking the rules and roleplay for others. You must keep a clear differentiation between IC and OOC in mind during situations like these.
For this once I'm willing to change the punishment into a warning + PK, I won't be so easy on you next time however.

A place to share your screenshots.

The Use of Force Continuum

The Use of Force Continuum is what we have developed within the department to guide and aid officers in understanding when they should use their equipment.

Spoiler

Use of Deadly force

Deadly force means force that is used against another individual, that is likely to cause serious bodily harm or death to the individual in question. The Use of Deadly force may be used if one or more of the following circumstances exists.

Self Defence: When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to protect an officer who reasonably believes himself or herself is in imminent danger of death or serious bodily harm.

Serious Offences: When deadly force reasonably and objectively appears to be necessary for the safety of staff.
Example: The suspect is currently armed with a firearm and the officers believe that without any doubt, the subject will use it.

Serious Threats: When deadly force reasonably appears to be necessary to preserve life. This is within threats made in-regards of terroristic actions and similar.

Apprehension: When deadly force reasonably and justifiably appears to be necessary to apprehend a subject in their escape: that, without any doubt committed a serious felony.

Additional Considerations Involving deadly force

If it becomes necessary to use deadly force the following precautions shall be followed.

A warning should generally be given, if possible, before the officer discharges his firearm.

Articulate - As long as an officer can articulate and justify the actions he has made with reasonable cause, then the officer is in most cases justified in his actions.

Equipment Specific Policies

Taser

• Tasers should only be used against persons who are actively resisting, exhibiting active aggression, or to prevent individuals from physically injuring themselves or others.
• Tasers should not be replaced with deadly force and should only be used as defined above.
• Tasers may not be deployed for an elongated amount of time, the shock should generally last a few seconds.
• Tasers should generally be announced prior to being used (unless there is a threat to life), giving suspects a chance to comply before deploying the Taser when life or well-being is in danger.

Baton

• Impact weapon strikes to the nerve motor points in the legs and arms are considered to be at the Intermediate Weapon level on the force continuum.
• Any impact strikes to the head, throat or clavicle are considered to be deadly force.
  The two target areas on the arms for blocking points are:
• • The Radial nerve motor point on the outside of the upper forearm.
• • Median nerve motor point on the inside of the forearm.
• The three target areas for striking on the legs are:
• • The Common Peroneal nerve motor point on the outside of the leg.
• • The Femoral nerve motor point on the inside of the leg.
• • The Tibial nerve motor point on the top of the calf muscle.
• Strikes should be delivered with maximum power in an effort to eliminate the need for
  multiple strikes, decrease the need to escalate in levels of control, and shorten the time span
  of the confrontation.
• After striking a subject, officers should employ other methods of follow–up control and
  ensure the subject receives medical attention when necessary.
