As a police officer for the TRBP, it’s required that you can use your radio. If you
go on duty without it you can be suspended or fined for not having the radio on you
when you go on duty. And you should also remember that if you are off duty but
still gets involved in police work you should maybe tune in to the off duty
channels and stay ready to switch to the correct channel when needed.
You have access to several channels on your radio so you should chose the channels
well to not confuse any superiors on what you are doing in your current channel.
The radio transmissions are managed by a Central radio Transceiver station that is
positioned at the police station. This Central station is also called Dispatch.
The dispatch keeps track of all on duty units and organise them and their radio
traffic so their jobs can be done as effective as possible. Due to that the radio
is one of the Police Officers most powerful equipment it needs to be organised and
that job is the Dispatch.
To use your radio correctly, you should always mention your unit/name/badge first
then call for the one you want to broadcast to. When reporting any kind of
situation you should always mention your location. You may not open a transmission
while any other else is transmitting. If you do so you can be fined for not
following the Radio discipline regulations. To use your radio you must respect the
other radio users and most of all respect the dispatch and the radio regulations.
The radio can be the difference between life and death so don’t use the radio for
general chit-chat and keep messages brief and efficient. Central channel should be
used professionally.
This is the short way to call central, this can be used only for short
transmissions when backup is needed or report or suspect locations in a pursuit or
short police operations reports:
Open Broadcast
This is when there is no Central/dispatch on air, still all regulations are to be
followed but when reporting anything that is to everybody just calls to all units.
If you are not receiving any transmission from the one you calls to, you can ask if
the current unit is “on the air”
TX Unit Alpha: Central are you on the air?
Remember to keep you messages as short, brief and fast as possible so you keep the
channel open for others to report high priority transmissions like a code 0.

/arrest [price] [time in minutes] [if the suspect can pay a bail, 1 for yes, 0 for
no] [bail price]
Arrest a suspect. Can only be done when both you and the victim are standing next
to the locked jail cell. (Make sure the suspect who is to be arrested is the
closest standing person.)
Arresting
NOTE: Before we go any further, there are times when a situation may call for
stepping outside these boundaries. These situations should be few and far between,
but it's most important that you, the officer, go home to your family at the end of
the day than the criminal. If your actions were founded, the department will stand
behind you 100%.
First, you should stop the suspect's vehicle according to department policies you
have learned through training. If the suspect is on foot, disregard this. You
should already know what the suspect is wanted for, but if you do not you should
quickly run an MDC check on the criminal from the safety of your vehicle.
Felonies: Rape, robbery, murder, assault, stealing police vehicles, hit and run,
GTA, kidnapping, rioting, aiding and abetting, fleeing.
How you go from here depends on the severity of the crime. Felonies are the
highest risk stop there is to make, while infractions typically are a simple ticket
or warning. Never get into a routine, though! The one time you let your guard down
on that traffic stop is the one time you will wind up in the emergency room or
worse!
For Felonies
Quickly get handcuffs on the suspect to detain him. Most murder suspects will
claim self-defence, and it is your job as an officer to also act as an
investigator. You should investigate any claim of self-defence by contacting any
witnesses, etc. It is important to read the suspect his rights * if he is
cooperating. If the suspect at any time starts to dive for a vehicle or run, you
should go ahead and finish the arrest by tazing (and if that doesn't help;
shooting) the suspect (Also because the suspect has cuffs on, he should not be able
to drive, so you have done everything right and he's in the wrong. If he complains
he's only hurting himself). If the suspect is still complying you should load them
into a patrol car or bandwagon and take them downtown. Do the proper booking and
finish the arrest.
For misdemeanours
Backup is helpful for these stops but not necessarily required. Of course if the
suspect attempts to run at any time you should taze the suspect and finish the
arrest. It is important to detain the suspect once you're at the scene for your
safety; in other words put cuffs on the suspect and inform them it is for your
safety and they are not under arrest at the moment (Again, this keeps us in the
clear and allows us to RP the arrest, if they run with handcuffs on and get into a
car, report them; They're not RP'ing). Investigate the situation and determine if
the suspect should pay a fine or go to jail. This decision is left to you. If the
suspect does manage to get away, this is a felony and should be treated as such.
For infractions
Backup is usually never required on a citation as it is a simple ticket. Generally
the suspect does not have a warrant at this point. You can freely talk to the
suspect through their driver-side window. If at any time they run or pull a firearm
the stop immediately becomes a felony and should be treated as such. If the suspect
is unable to pay the fine then you should work with the suspect in order to secure
the fine. If the suspect does not have the money in his bank, though, it becomes a
misdemeanour and the suspect should be arrested.
And of course, it goes without saying if anyone is shooting at you, you're fully
authorized to return fire at the suspect. If another officer is able to sneak
behind the suspect and taze him then by all means go for it, but in no situation
should you run straight for a felon with a firearm because you will wind up dead.
(Also it is bad RP to run right up to someone with a weapon and /tazer. As I said,
if another officer can sneak behind to do so, it's fine, but in no situation should
you run up to him like Rambo and /tazer).
*Miranda Warning
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you do say may be used against you
in a court of law.
You also have the right to hire an attorney. If you do not hire one you will be
questioned without one present. Knowing and understanding your rights as I have
explained them to you, are you willing to answer my questions without an attorney
present?
TRBP Cruiser
The Teirra Robada Border Patrol Police Cruiser is the most used vehicle in the
department. It has a good top speed with an average handling and gives the
criminals a good opponent.
The police equipped Premier has mounted lights on the roof that can be turned on
from inside of the car by tapping the horn button. It is also equipped with a
megaphone to communicate outside the car.
(( /M [message] ))
Inside the TRBP Premier is equipped with a Mobile Data Computer that can be used
to check plates on cars and names of previous criminal records and 911 reports.
Due to the short range radio transmitter that uploads the requested information to
the patrol vehicles it’s only possible to get the latest crime of the suspect.
You can also check victims 911 reports too.
The TRBP Premier is also equipped with a long range radio system that works as a
radio repeater that forwards the Police officers radio transmissions from their
belt radio to the central radio station.
The police cars can also work a perfect cover in a firelight using the roof part
to stand and the front and rear to knee down and fire.
The squad car has also a special made cuff so you are able to cuff the suspect in
the car so he can’t move anywhere.
(( /Cuff [id/name] recommended to not use it due to the messages that says “you
broke the cuffs” that confuses the suspect, we recommend using a bind like: “/me
locks the backdoors of the cruisers so they can’t be opened from the inside.”))
The trunk of the Premier has also a weapon rack for having the Shotgun, M4 and
the MP5 ready to be used.
In case of pursuit
Step 1:
- Remain Calm
- Don’t jump to conclusions. Make sure this is actually a pursuit and not a
misunderstanding.
- Be sure the suspect knows you are telling them to pull over.
Step 2:
- Once you are sure this is a pursuit report into central.
- Request for backup units and stay close to the suspect.
- Remain close enough so you can tail the suspect with out putting your self in
danger.
- Monitor the suspects driving.
- If there are more units participating in the pursuit let them try to block
the road in front of the car.
- The car closest to the suspect should never try when here is more units in
the area let the suspect out of sight and the pursuing car should never attempt to
block or immobilize the suspect’s car because if the immobilization fails he should
be able to catch up the pursuit.
Step 3:
- If you feel the suspect’s driving is putting you or others in danger, request
the ability to disable the suspect’s tires or the car. This should only be
requested in extreme situations.
- You can also request to perform a PIT or a BOX PIT.
Remember:
- Always remain calm!
- Do not jump to use lethal force.
- Do not jump to use any sort of disabling force. If not request granted.
- Keep central dispatch updated with the location of the suspect.
- Be sure to advise central that the suspect is non-compliant and request
backup.
- If a command unit is on the scene allow them to take COMMAND, this
includes radio and tactical decisions.
- And no matter how long you have been chasing them, do not use lethal
force unless authorized. Your main goal is to keep the suspect in sight.
- If you have a passenger in your car let him/her exit the car when you
succeeded a P.I.T so you as the driver can be able to continue the
pursuit if the suspect’s cars get the chance to evade.
Regular PIT
This type is most often used out the in the field since it is the easiest to
perform and also requires just one police vehicle. This technique has the most
effectiveness in high speed chases. It should only be used on straight roads and
empty areas since the suspect’s car (and your own if you perform it wrongly) will
spin out heavily. When using this technique in a chase warn your fellow officers
and tell them to stay back.
STAGE 1: Drive at approximately the same speed as the suspect, the catch up with on
the either the left or right side, depending on what side is the most space. Then
position your cruiser at the height of the suspect’s back wheel.
STAGE 2: When you see the opportunity slam your cruiser right in front of the
suspects rear wheel, his car should spin out and be immobilised, sometimes the
suspect can regain control over his car and the technique can be applied again.
((Due to lag, your own cruiser should be about (depending on the ping of suspect)
half a car’s length in front of the suspect’s vehicle, then simply drive in front
of him. On your own screen you shouldn’t touch the car, if you do you did it wrong.
Though on the suspect’s screen it looks as if you’re hitting him just in front of
his rear wheel and his game will respond accordingly.))
Basic S.W.A.T. Training
There is no difference between being a patrolman or a SWAT member. You do the same
job not in different ways using special weapons and tactics that is well tested and
used by the SWAT. SWAT is a short for “Special Weapons and Tactics”.
S.W.A.T. Vehicles
SWAT/FBI Rancher
The SWAT/FBI Rancher is used for rapid deployment and all area deployment where
not the SWAT Van can be used. The rancher can also be used as Prisoner transport,
VIP escort, Hostage extraction and all-out tactical transportation.
Police Maverick
There isn’t much difference between the Police Maverick that the SWAT uses and the
normal Police Maverick because it’s the same one only that it is used in different
ways. The SWAT use of it is to deploy SWAT units from the air. Or use it as recon
vehicle before there is a deployment.
S.W.A.T. Deployment
Fast approach
The fast approach is more done by the assault team when they should react quickly
to a location and start clearing a building or an area. The fast approach can be
done in any kind of vehicle and when closing in to the operating area the sirens
should be turned off.
Van approach
The Armord Van approach is a slow movement where you are unfamiliar with the
environment and there are suspicions of suspects being outside. The Assault Team
should in this case gear up and place one driver in the van, and the rest behind
the car, you should equip the team with M4 and/or MP5 and has two team members
always covering the front on each sides of the van. The rest should cover each
direction.
If some one opens fire on the van the team should react quickly and the driver
should turn to the left and exit the car and use the car as a shield. Remember that
you should still have team members covering all directions so no one can ambush.
Hostage rescue approach
The hostage rescue approach can be so different depending on the situation and the
environment. So only the basic and the point of the hostage rescue tactic will be
explained here. The main goal is that you want to get your Assault Team between the
kidnapper and the hostage so you can set up a wall with a for example a SWAT
Rancher and use a secondary vehicle and evacuate the hostage.
Air Deployment
When air deployment is used by the SWAT its main goal is to give the SWAT Assault
Team a secondary entry spot for example roof entry so the building could be cleared
from top to bottom and if any one attempts to escape the Fire team waits outside at
the exit. The Air Deployment method could also be used to place snipers to look
over a specific area when there is no available roof access from the ground. The
SWAT Air deployment can also be used to place a swat team in an other end of an
area where no land vehicles can enter.
S.W.A.T. movement and procedures
Stack Up
Stack up is when you make a hold up at a doorway and you prepare to enter it. At
the stack up you should stand on each sides of the door if possible and if the
doorway is open you should look into the room and see if you can see anyone inside.
If your team is ready prepare to make an entry. Remember never stack up directly in
front of a door or 3 meters away. Stack up to the side of the door.
Entry
When stack up is done a entry to the room and clear it is the next step in order
to enter the room carefully is that the one that is stacked to the doorways left
sides enter the door by going into the room to the right and the one on the right
side of the door enters to the left.
Clear
Clear a room from enemy suspects can be really hard sometimes. You should remember
to always stand up while clearing and go sidesteps and if you receive too much fire
you can go down and roll out from the area and wait in backup from the team.
Remember to check all places behind counters sofas corners everywhere. Remember
that even if you can see a clear room when you enter a suspect can easily just sit
and wait to pop your head.
When you arrive on a crime scene where the suspect is still in the area, park your
car so your drivers door is directed away from the suspect. By doing this you can
exit your cruiser without being shot if the suspects starts firing a gun
Use your car as cover when a gunfights start out. The police cruiser is perfect to
stand behind the roof and knee down aiming over the car hood or the trunk.
Knee down and roll to cover if you become pinned down in an open area.
Don’t let civilians come close to you when you are detaining a suspect. They might
attempt to harm you and free the suspect.
Watch your back, you never know when a contract killer comes up behind you and
slits your throat open with a knife. Or anyone pulling out a gun and shoots you in
the back of your head.
Let the suspect walk in front of you when you are going to take him somewhere.
Remember that everything you do reflect on your whole department and your
colleagues. Don’t mess around because that is what makes the civilians lose their
trust and respect for us.
Stay calm, be patient and take your time to do your police work, don’t stress up
just because the one you are speaking with tell you he is in a hurry.
Follow the regulations and do your job. Remember that the IAD is watching you.
Even without your badge and that you are off duty you are still a cop don’t let
anything just slip though your fingers even if you are off duty, report in too your
colleagues and let them take care of it.
Use your radio; it can be the difference between life and death.
Remember how you had it as a cadet and treat them as you would have wanted them to
treat you.
Respect your colleagues, we are on the same team and we work for the people.
