As a member of SAPD, I Marcus Ferreira herby protest against Argonath State treating SAPD members as trash. People that are working for ARPD are serving the state in any way they can, while the state is doing everything to make this job worst and worst.
Many of you don't know that but here is how things look like from our perspective:- Chasing down criminal (that don't appear so often) takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on how well he was prepared for it (many times it's pursuit of only 2 avalible PD cars against an NRG) and even if we somehow manage to get the guy so he won't kill anyone else we get 100$!!!! If we fairly split it among pursuing officer, everyone gets 25$ or less, some don't even share it, so whoever didn't shoot him is left with his PD car to be rapaired so he's LOOSING money because he was working hard to catch criminal!!!!
- We are here to RP, fact, but for some time we are not even getting ticket money- it turnes into additional tax not being handed out to any government group(maybe beside FBI), there are times we want to go off duty, buy cars or houses or buisness- we simply can't even enter building with higher entry fee, being a cop is decreasing your budge day by day
- criminals are armed better and better while the officers- recently even outnumbered by organized criminal groups- have the same gun they were carring since the start of SAPD- deagle, baton and spray (10 years of working unaffected by progress)
- suspect processing- after we will catch the criminal, we want to provide him the treatment he won't have to complain about ((We simply like RP of investigation and other processing))- if we will somehow manage to even force him to surrender, that along with processing takes about 1 hour of our work and around 2 officers- for simple criminal we get 500$
- Off duty officers can't commit any crimes, so they are law respecting citizens, that are fighting cops vs robbers mentality
We agreed to our role in this state, but we did not agree to our working conditions to decrease day by day, the demands are:- restoring of SAPD paychecks
- Bring some form of payment for SAPD recruits (a.k.a Freecops that are poorly equiped first line infantry)
- payment for the time paychecks were not handed out by government
- body armour for duty- or anything else to prevent other officers getting killed
Without this it will become harder and harder to recruit new members into department.
Without government reply to this protest it will become more then clear they will rather see us doing oil worker job than protecting this state, that we love so much.
Before anyone starts complaining, we are asking for about 15k for each member of SAPD(depends on rank)
per month of working- which is less than you can get from 30 minutes of oil worker or mining job.
