VCPD - Approaching the public

Description

As most of the citizens in the State of Vice do not pass through the VCPD public bulletin board that often (ARPD forums), the VCPD is organizing it's bulletin boards in public areas with more visibility, so you can leave your opinion, suggestions, questions, reports and comments about how the VCPD is working!

Public announcements regarding the VCPD will be made here, regarding opening of new sub-divisions, upcoming ceremonies, and notes in roleplay-style regarding general topics in the server.

How this bulletin board will work?

To your suggestions, comments, ranting about the VCPD or specially, any officer or division, please fill in the sheet below:

Reports are to be sent ONLY over the PMs of Marcus, Legend or me. Use the same form. This can be used also if you wish to make a undisclosed commentary to public. You will have total privacy.

Forum rules still apply to this topic, so comments with the aim of provoking directly the PD or any member of it will recieve a forum warning. You are allowed to comment, as long as you have respect.

Example:

good: I'm here to make a rant that VCPD leaves un-used cars pretty often in front of my house and i have seen officers getting outnumbered often. You should improve the training system if you wish to keep the city clean.
bad: ARPD sucks and my guys are killing yo all the time. Bunch of guys don't even know how to use a damm gun, noobs lol.

Here is the current structure of the ARPD, and in specific, VCPD (VC:MP).

VCPD - Vice City Police Department

The VCPD operates as the city's front line of defence in crime fighting, alongside its specialised sub-divisions, FBI and SWAT.


SWAT - Special Weapons And Tactics

Vice City's SWAT team works hand in hand with the general VCPD team and FBI on operations that require a little more than the demands of everyday tasks. This specialised unit works on tackling larger scale criminal activities, and especially those that could pose major threats to the city's security.


FBI - Federal Bureau of Investigation

The FBI, re-developed from the VCID (Vice City Investigation Department), is the core of Vice City's intelligence services, specially put together to crack down on the movements of the criminal underworld. At the moment, Vice City's new FBI is still in its early stages and may face further changes yet. 




VCPD Academy

The VCPD is currently recruiting members to take up ranks within the main body of the department, as well as in SWAT & FBI.

Subject of ur comment: Uh, I dunno how to say it
Message: Imagine this situation, 5 guys are wanted, 4 guys are hiding and doing some drug deal and 1 guy is trying to escape in a car. As far as I have seen, police only chases the guy who's escaping, and not just 1 officer, the whole pd does. I think that officers should organise and for example, 2 officers chase the guy in car and 6 officers try to break the drug deal and arrest or kill the criminals. But, those are very rare times when 8+ officers are online, so, organise and like Perry said, be more active.

We appreciate your comment, VLanceV.

I do understand what you mean, and at the moment we are a little short staffed - there are various opportunities for recruits, however, and the job prospects are large. Many officers are away or on general leave, as you might know, it being the holiday period in Vice.
One thing at least: it's little use making a comment (not necessarily yourself, but in relation to something you mentioned, and an earlier point), if you yourself are doing little to be active or aid in any way i.e. not being on the server, either due to not wanting to or not being able to. ;P

Often on such occasions as you mentioned ,we may not be aware instantly there are people in hiding. If there is someone escaping, we aim to try and bring them in, as we can work on leads provided by them; hoping to secure any areas of criminal activity. Investigations are done on each crime scene, if possible/relevant. It is very rare that all members of the department might instantly follow, but we may choose to scatter across the map to prevent a suspect evading.
When there are fewer operatives on duty, we aim to stick with the bigger group of suspects if one person tries to flee - we'd much rather have one criminal on the loose than a whole gang, if that is the only option. Back up is normally sent for across the ARPD system, and precautions set up.

Once again, I thank you for your comment and hope that my reply was suitable.
As ever, we ask for the support of the community as a whole in putting a stop to crime.

Ahh, thanks for the message. Shall be updated.


Yours sincerely,
Legend

Subject of your comment: Roles and Transfers

Message: Well, VCPD is not active much, but when it is, the resources are wasted. First of all, in vcmp invents are the most important aspect. So, VCPD members should be looking for suspects going after glory(drugs & smuggles). SWAT should be most active, and only be there for EAF and other shootings. VCPD should work with FBI finding small time drug smugglers on street.
We all know, in 1.9, smugglers were the only reason for so much money in hands of people(it caused recession), people were carrying 1000 vodkas in pocket. Well VCPD, Must protect things getting smuggled.

So, I can conclude:
VCPD and FBI: drug racketeering, stopping smuggles, prostitute trafficking(all small time RP bad-ass jobs).
SWAT: Initiate huge recruitment, transfer all possible sharp-shooters from VCPD into SWAT(Verz, bass, ANYONE who can shoot stubby and crouch glitch), Keep good RPers but not-so-good shooters in VCPD & FBI. SWAT should be fighting Furies. Whereas VCPD solve smuggling cases.

This will certainly improve quality in VCMP, though you may say it is leading to DM. It is leading to a better Police department.
Remember, harsh times requires harsh measures.

Possible Ranks:
VCPD Members(chief and all sub divisions included):
Legend(chief)
Alex_Thompson(deputy)
Shadow.(for now only, he is improving good though, can transfer him to SWAT later on)
+++Start taking players in VCPD, fast. Possibly take VCMP newbies. They have blood and life in VCMP shooting and skills.

FBI:
JDC (He should start his own line of inquiry, getting new vcmp players inside FBI straight away, not transfering them from SWAT or VCPD until required fast)

SWAT:
Marcus(head)
Leonardo
Danigold
Bass
Verz
aXXo
Helix

Big SWAT group so that, when EAF is causing massacre in streets, atleast police got good weapons to fight with...

[Marcell]

and why Legend shouldn't be in SWAT? he's actually the cop who takes me down most of times due to fact he doesn't rambo like his mates..

someone ACTIVE got be the leader of whole department right...

Thanks for the suggestions, and comments. Appreciated. I will just give a lowdown of how people are drafted into SWAT/FBI.

From the Academy stages, everyone is part of the VCPD. As both FBI and SWAT are sub-divisions, and fully under VCPD, everyone works as a team in the bigger picture.

When it comes to SWAT/FBI, more recently a rule was made that you can only be in either one of those special units (unless you were part of both before the rule came into play). Therefore, people are invited from the general VCPD into the sub-divisions, while their VCPD status does not change.

I think resource wise, we are fine (well, it is more often than not that VCPD officers may be overpowered in weaponry in shootouts, but that is something different). Even if the server was to load up VCPD even more, in my opinion, things can only be used even still if there are people to use them. That would mean both active players, as well as those that are interested in joining AR-VCPD. Personally, those are the two things that I'd like to put right if at all possible.
Would be great to build up the specialised teams, but there must first be people to fill those spaces.

Don't wait for players to come and fill those places, snatch players from server to make places filled
All gangs are constantly recruiting good members. EAF, HS, DC all got constant recruitment. ARPD lacks that...

Hehe. We do try, but some groups out there are definitely more quantity than quality.
That can lead to some problems.

ARPD has same standards as EAF does (almost, not in shooting tho') and EAF doesn't allow applicants to apply in any other clan/gang/group and DEFINIATLY not ARPD

Subject of your comment: Hand-to-hand combat
Message: ARPD officers should get hand-to-hand combat training. It's really annoying that if multiple hooligans approach a cop and want to vandalise him, all he does is /c sur and shoot them in the face with a shotgun while they're unarmed..
