Re: [INFO] VEHICLE REGULATIONS

3. VEHICLE REGULATIONS

3.1 Motorcycles

Motorcycle officers are able to effectively enforce traffic laws in areas in which enforcement by four-wheel vehicles is impractical. Motorcycles can access scenes of accidents and natural disasters more quickly and work to commute traffic in a way that is unique to the motorcycle.
Through various tests, it has been concluded that the Wayfarer is the most capable vehicle, therefore it is the primary enforcement motorcycle for the Sheriff Department.

Image
3.2 Patrol Cars

The San Andreas Sheriff Department is in possession of a plethora of vehicles that all serve towards achieving different goals and have different and unique uses. The current fleet for non-supervisory stands like this: premier as the main cruiser, huntley as another standard
option, sultan, sandking and yosemite.

Image

Image

Buffalo and other vehicles that have “SUPERVISOR” or “COMMAND” written on the side
are restricted for the said ranks.
3.3 Restricted Vehicles

White/Beige cruisers are parked around Market Donut by the Old Carter rental HQ. These vehicles are to be used to patrol Market Strip and other areas in the vicinity. NO Green vehicle should be used around market unless:
  • You were chasing a suspect from the counties and they happen to pass by Market, If you lose visuals you are to leave the area as soon as possible but if you wish to continue searching the area you have switch to a White cruiser.
You are to change vehicles only if:
  • You intend to patrol market.
  • You were requested by PD.

Re: [INFO] TRAFFIC STOPS

Post by Franklin Grey »

4. TRAFFIC STOPS


A traffic stop is initiated when you observe an individual violating one of the traffic laws.
When a person is pulled over during a traffic stop, that person is detained. It means the person is not free to leave until you allow that person to leave, otherwise they are in violation of state code “vehicular evasion” or “disobeying lawful orders”.
- If the individual who you commanded to pull over, pulls over, you initiate the traffic stop.
First step is to call it in radio, describing it as follows:
- “ROMEO-1 traffic stop on a blue premier, occupied X times,, Market”
- <callsign> traffic stop on <color> <vehicle model> <number of occupants>
<location>
- Once you’ve reported your situation on radio, you exit your vehicle and walk to the driver or the passenger window. Once there, you tap the window (if it hasn’t been rolled down already) and ask the driver to roll down the window.
- You introduce yourself - “Good day, I’m <rank> <name> with the San Andreas Sheriff Department. Do you know why you’ve been pulled over?”
- Once the driver responds, you specify to him the reason for being pulled over. Then you request him to show identification documents - passport and driving license.
- The driver is required to unmask, if masked, in order for you to compare their photo on the passport with their face, to ensure the passport matches the driver.
- You then proceed to run the vehicle and the driver on the MDC to check any active crimes, previous fines, and vehicle information to ensure the vehicle is not stolen and that the driver is not to be apprehended.
- When done gathering this information, you proceed to either let the driver off with a warning, or issue a fine. This is based on your discretion.

Re: [INFO] FELONY STOP

Post by Franklin Grey »

5. FELONY STOP

A felony stop is initiated on a person that is deemed to be dangerous or heavily armed.
Felony stop should performed with at least two vehicles participating, and they must be
parked in this way:
Image

Once everyone is in position, you ask the target vehicle to turn the engine off by use of a megaphone (/m). Proceed by asking to roll down the window and throw the keys out of the window. Then ask them to open the door slowly and step out of the vehicle. Finally, ask
them to take a few steps away from the vehicle and lay on the ground.

- If the persons have complied with these instructions, one member approaches to handcuff (/cuff) while others remain covered with lethal weapons ready.

- If the persons do not comply with instructions, you may send a member to attempt to spike the target vehicle and then retreat, or attempt to jack the driver out, while having a unit in
vehicle behind ready to pursue if the driver speeds off when he notices officers approaching.

Re: [INFO] Arrest Procedure

Post by Franklin Grey »

6. ARREST PROCEDURE

Arrest procedure will always be the same no matter the circumstances. The first step is ALWAYS to secure the suspect by handcuffing them.

- Once the suspect has been handcuffed, you proceed to put on a pair of gloves and pat the suspect down (/frisk). At that point, you seize (/seize) any illegal items. Make sure to suspect the individual for any illegal contraband you find, by using /su.

- Note that it’s always mandatory to /su the person, if they are knocked, before using /seize, as that will seize 100% of the item quantity
- When the suspect has been handcuffed, frisked and seized, you begin transport to the state prison, if there are no further actions required (such as processing or further investigation). If you do have to take further action, you may take the suspect to the Dillimore Station.

- It’s important to know that Miranda rights are important only if the suspect is going to be
questioned about the crimes committed. If you do not intend to ask any questions, but only
wish to jail, then Miranda rights are not a concern.

- It’s also important to know that a suspect does NOT have the RIGHT to ask for an investigation. It’s up to the discretion of each agency to determine if their officers must offer a suspect an investigation or not. The suspect has the RIGHT to make a civil lawsuit against the agency after the fact, if he believes he was mishandled.

Re: [INFO] PURSUIT PROCEDURE

Post by Franklin Grey »

7.PURSUIT PROCEDURE


A pursuit procedure is important in order to maintain visual on the suspect and avoid ramming each other.

- In pursuit, there should always be a lead unit that maintains radio updates on the suspect's location and heading. This is usually either the first or the second vehicle in the pursuit line.

- One vehicle in pursuit, if there’s several engaging, should be solely focused on maintaining a visual of the suspect. If you have two units in pursuit, one unit is to simply focus on maintaining a visual of the suspect, while the second unit can provide radio updates on location and heading.

- If you lose control of your vehicle during the pursuit, DO NOT MOVE, STAND STILL until all other vehicles involved in pursuit pass you, This is to avoid causing others to ram into you, and thereby losing visual of the suspect.

- PIT maneuver should be performed only when there’s minimal risk of losing visual of the suspect, or when there’s a secondary unit that can maintain visual of the suspect should the PIT maneuver fail.
- In SA:MP due to the way the game works, if you wish to perform a PIT maneuver, you may have to go further ahead of the person, and go ahead of them, in order to PIT them. The higher someone’s ping, the further the distance you have to be ahead of the person in order
to ram them.

- The passenger or the driver should always be ready to place /spikes. DO NOT SPAM SPIKES. Spikes ONLY work ONCE on the vehicle. Once a vehicle has been spiked, placing more spikes WILL NOT ACHIEVE ANYTHING. Only the front wheels of vehicles get
popped by spikes. Rear ones won’t get popped even if you spawn 20 spikes.

- If the vehicle is cornered somewhere, unable to move, use the opportunity to BOX the
vehicle in. That means surrounding the vehicle with cruisers in order to prevent the vehicle
from moving away again.

- When the vehicle is boxed in, a passenger or someone else should use the opportunity to
jack the driver of the fleeing vehicle out. Do not just stand and waste opportunities to take
proactive action.
