San Andreas Police Department
New Year Ceremony
January 3rd, 2016 - 19:30 CET
SWAT HQ, Roca Escalante, Las Venturas

Greetings all,

The San Andreas Police Department has the pleasure to invite the citizens of the United States of Argonath, notably fellow state agencies, to the new year ceremony of twenty-sixteen. This large scale event is to express our deep satisfaction in the efforts invested by law enforcement officials during an action-packed twenty-fifteen, and it is certainly a way to appreciate every organisation, entity or party that made this possible. The San Andreas Police Department also believes that the closing year has been truly promising in terms of long-term co-operation with the bodies of the United States of Argonath. That being said, we would like to reiterate our will and our ambition in having a prosperous new year, a year that is set to be successful, considering the nature of the incoming changes.

Agenda:

1.) Opening speech from the Chief of Police.
2.) Unveiling of new landmiles.
3) Statement of future plans.
4) Unveiling of the Detective Training Program.
5) Unveiling of the Internal Affairs Division.
6) Unveiling of the Manual.
7) Announcing promotions and awards.
8) Closing speech.

Yet again, we are of the firm belief that this ceremony would be an unveiling of the future. However, this would not be feasible without the collaboration of all persons. Thus, the San Andreas Police Department confirms its attachment to the community and would like to wish a happy, jovial new year on the behalf of all its employees.

Yours truly.

What would the duties of a detective be considering the lack of script support? Homicide? Murderer is auto sus'd and no crime scene. Robbery? Mostly ends in shootouts and cops winning. Vice? Hookers aren't really used so idk. Narcotics could work but I can't see how the others will.

I'm not shitting or undermining your work, I'm actually happy that SAPD is finally advancing. I am only wondering how you guys plan to adapt with the server.

I wouldn't take it as shitting either, i'm really glad that you are interested into finding out more. Anyways i'll scrap-out some stuff of what Detectives are supposed to do, it's time for us to be feeding people with roleplay more then bullets, but at the same time we'll be reciprocal to what players offer us.
Detectives,
- Provide professional and quality investigations - Suspects who surrender, 911 calls that need to be looked on..
- Provide community care in troubled neighborhoods.
- Provide scene security for crime-scenes.
- Perform crime scene investigations.
- Perform vehicle collision investigations.
- Perform internal departmental investigations and surveys.
- Gather departmental statistics.
- Gather information that can be used during daily shift-briefings, held by Sergeants.
- Cross-agency communication.
- Passing on leads and information to the FBI.
- Traffic enforcement.

San Andreas Police Department
NEW YEAR CEREMONY

Message from the Chief:
Esteemed President, mayor, CIA and FBI delegates, SAPD officials, and citizens of the United States of Argonath.

Before I start off this eagerly awaited ceremony, I would like to express a few words in terms of th past. The ARPD made its debut on the 6th of April, 2007, by the honourable Kaltsu. Since the, the profession of policing has changed, always trying to reach perfection, and let alone keep up the highest of standards. I began my career at 2008, and it is quite fascinating how I managed to spend nine years under the realms of this department. Throughout my history as a police officer, I underwent several eras, under several chiefs and certainly different visions; I learned from everyone, and I started as a cadet to reach this peak. Granted, I had my problems, but determination has never been an issue. Back in the day, you could tell that our resources were negligible. As time went by, I have realized that one organisation cannot function perfectly in the absence of others; this is why I would like to thank the FBI, CIA and MGI. In a time when technology is dominant, progress is needed. Hence, we have been ever working to improve our policing in order to adapt to this modernization. Not only for the sake of departmental prestige, but also for the sake of our officers who will definitely not be disappointed with what we have to offer. Thank you everyone.

Message from President Gandalf
Hello to the Officers and Citizents present at this ceremony. I am happy to be here today and witness how the SAPD has changed over the years! As Chief told you, SAPD was founded by Kaltsu. And when it was founded it had something special in  mind! The idea was that SAPD was to be the group of well trained Officers that would follow to the highest standards. Group that is both feared and respected, that everyone would be happy to join and work for! While things may have changed, today is a sign that SAPD has reached those goals. I am sure that they will continue to serve and protect the citizens! Both of them! I hope that we will enter into a more and peaceful society! And that the elections will give citizenship a larger chance. While i am here i would also like to adres the civilians present and them them fro their presence and patience! While some may not always see SAPD as their true hero, they took time to be here and witness these people. I do hope that you will try to have good relations with them. Thank you and keep up the good work!
 

Message from Mayor Lawrence Dentico
Congratulations to all of the Officers!! Congratulations from Los Santos aswell, to start of the new year.. the City of Los Santos would like to give a present to the Department!
Brand new kevlar vests, enough for the whole SAPD! The city of Los Santos admires the work done in the fight against FLA! We have seen true bravery and ice cold thinking on field. Our officers can be seen as the best of the best. Teamwork is essential and i must say, during the resign of Chief Rashid King, teamwork with other agencies is on their top! The city of Los Santos is proud to call you boys of our own! To protect and serve!!!

Message from FBI Director Teddy
The FBI has been a long standing partner of the SAPD and we are glad to continue to work!!along side a very respectable, committed, and amazing organization.Thats all really!!

Message from Captain Lionel Valdes
Esteemed attendance, I am honoured to address you on this prestigious occasion.

In a time when change is needed, we have brought change to the department. Individual forces, unlike in the past, have unified in a collective fashion, in order to condition a whole new adventure within the policing community. To that extent, I am of the belief that there has not been any moment short of potential throughout the previous twelve months, and it is quite undeniable how we managed to reshape the course of events leading to this prosperity. As professor Eric Weil said, and I reaffirm, there would - certainly - be a bright future for every invested effort. I am thrilled to reiterate that precious statement. At last, I would like to divert my thankings to the public, delegates from parallel organisations, the persons of Mr Gandalf and Mr Dentico, and law enforcers across the states. Additionally, to the international socialist movements striving for progress.

Best regards.

S.W.A.T - Q4 Statistics

2015 has been a busy year for the Special Weapons & Tactics team. There have been a lot of new changes to the structure of the division as well as numerous procedural changes. To adapt to the constant changing nature of the server, the team has been training rigorously to ensure that they are ready to respond to any situation required. In addition, we have decided to add several new operatives to the team to fight against the increased crime rate.

We would like to release to the following statistics for Q4 of 2015 (1st of October till 31st of December 2015) so that the citizens are aware what the division has been doing behind the scenes:

Number of callouts: 65 (An average of one callout every 1 and a half days)

Statistics explained:

Initial statistic
65 callouts in the space of one quarter is quite a large increase compared to previous quarters. This clearly shows an increase in the crime rate currently in the state.

SWAT Callouts by type
Crime suppression duty was clearly the most called out situation. This is expected as it normally includes responding to large C30's, patrolling areas of high crime and apprehending highly wanted suspects.. These types of situation are common and occur on a daily basis.

Hostage outcome
Thankfully, the SWAT team has saved more hostages than it has lost however, the team's aim is to have no casualties during a situation, although sometimes the hostages death can be pointed to poor role-play and attitude from the other side.

Suspect outcome
These statistics are a great indicator of the work the hard team has been doing. The reason most of the suspects that have been killed can be put down to the nature of the situations that SWAT responds to, which normally ends up deadly force to be used due to life threatening behavior or failure to comply.

Goals for 2016:
In 2016 we hope to:
- Decrease the number of suspects killed and increase the number that are arrested.
- Save more hostages, decrease the number of killed hostages.
- Increase the number of operatives per callout.
