[1].

The accepted standard duty weapons are (Pepper Spray, Baton, 9mm, Deagle, Pump-action Shotgun)
Officers are equipped by SAPD with baton, pepper spray, and deagle. Other weapons can be bought in Ammunation.
Abusing other weapons (& non-supported weapons) will result serious punishment.
[1.1]. Procedures of Engagement with Force:
-Suspect is running -- Use warnings to order to stop, if they do not heed, you may open fire (Standard Duty
weapons only - Deagle)
-Suspect is idle -- You must use ONLY pepper spray or baton, if they fail to comprehend after warnings, and you
cannot apprehend, you may use baton or pepper spray to take down. (If suspect is armed with fire-arm while idle,
you still must only use pepper spray or baton, it is advised you have another Officer to cover you with a gun).
-Suspect is unarmed and assaulting -- You must use ONLY pepper spray or baton to defend yourself against the
assault, if he continues, you may neutralize but with pepper or baton only.
-Suspect is armed with fire-arm and shooting -- You may open fire immediately (Any weapon can be used in self-
defense.)
-Suspect is airborne/waterborne or swimming -- You may open fire after warning (Any weapon can be used in to
stop the suspect from evading.)
-Suspect is escaping in a vehicle and your on foot -- Try neutralize their vehicle (Any weapon can be used to
neutralize the vehicle.)
*-When suspect is ASSAULTING WITH/HOLDING A melee weapon, you must use the same procedure as you would on an
unarmed suspect.
*-If a CIVILIAN suddenly shoots with a fire-arm, and you have no time to suspect as your being shot, you may
neutralize to save your life.
* - The moment anyone's life becomes in danger by the suspect any weapon can be used to neutralize him or
neutralize his vehicle(On foot/DBing)
[1.2]. Drive-by rules:-When the suspect(s) is/are in a faster vehicle or shooting whilst in their vehicle, or
the suspect(s) is/are threating life on foot and the officer has no time to exit from the vehicle. In that case
you can use drive-by shooting. (In any other situation drive-bying is forbidden) The use of drive by can be
tolerated to pop the tires of a motorcycle if the suspect goes off-roading.
*-When the suspect is escaping with a plane/helicopter/boat.
(Drive-bying from driver seat is not allowed, the only exception is for the police bikes - Same drive-by rules
apply as above, 1.2)
Unless your life or someone else's life is in danger due to the suspect, you must always warn before opening
fire such as /m1, /m2, /m3, If they refuse to stop, you can drive-by if the points above meet.
REMINDER: The goal is to try and ARREST not KILL!
[2]. The SAPD command staff advises every officer to use only the suggested duty weapons.
Of course when theres an extreme situation and the command staff sees the different weapons even heavy weapons
were neccesary, you wouldnt receive disadvantage. But for example an unarmed suspect wanted for pissing in
public and running away from the police/evading, and you pull out combat shotgun and blast him. Thats WRONG. Our
aim is to arrest the suspects alive and not to execute him!
[3]. Against armed suspect who is evading and causing threat, you can call swat team.. if you feel you can not
catch the suspect with only SAPD forces. You are still allowed to engage any suspect, but SAPD officers should
give priority to both their lives and that of the criminals. Many criminals are inclined to give up to SWAT.
[4]. When the suspect is wanted only for minor crime (traffic violation) dont dispatch swat, even if he is
escaped by sports car. Use tactic, and work as team to apprehend the evader!
[5]. The SAPD Command staff enforces every officer to use marked police vehicles ONLY, and for organized
patrols, the police vehicles will be promoted without exception! If you are SAPD member and you are using
civilian vehicle, the command members can question you about why are you using non-police vehicle and may take
action against it.The use of an unmarked vehicle while on duty is prohibited under all normal operations (with
the exception of certain divisions) - Should you lose a squad car in a pursuit, you are to return to the nearest
HQ and obtain a marked patrol vehicle.
[5.1]. Vehicles allowed:
Civil vehicles allowed: Towtruck, Securicar
*Civilian aricraft can be used for certain events, like patrolling the airspace or pursuit.
[6]. When pulling over a citizen for any kind of offense, SAPD officers should never use the suspect command if
their intention is to fine the citizen. SAPD command will not unsuspect for having paid a fine if the citizen is
suspected by an SAPD officer. This should be communicated among officers as well, until it is a clearly known
rule.
[7]. SAPD officers should always invite new officers to join their patrol and show them their methods of work.
Any fellow law enforcer should be treated as a partner, and any form of disrespect towards lower ranked officers
can and will lead to punishment, including suspension or firing from SAPD. YOU MUST RESPECT EVERY OFFICER AND
CITIZEN AS MUCH AS YOU RESPECT YOUR SUPERIOR.
[8]. SAPD members should priorize roleplay and attempt to discuss when a situation happen. Coming with weapon
drawn and aiming at everyone won't be tolerated.

The traffic stop is a attempt to make a car pull over to the side of the road, there are several reasons for a
traffic stop.
- Traffic Violation - Damaged Vehicle - Suspicious Vehicle - Be on the look out (BOLO)
- All Points Bulletin (APB)
1) Approach up behind the targeted vehicle and initiate your lights and siren. Also, use the megaphone to
instruct the driver that he needs to pull over his vehicle to the side of the road.
2) If the driver pulls over, pull up your cruiser behind his vehicle. Gently instruct the driver to turn off his
engine and get the keys out off the ignition. Instruct the driver to put his keys on the dashboard and kindly
instruct him that he should remain seated until further notice.
3) Now you have some time to report in the traffic stop on the police radio. Put the following information in
the transmission.
- Vehicle Information
- Number of Occupants
- Location
- Further assistance?
4) Ensure you are safe, always make sure it's safe. Exit your cruiser and slowly walk to the civilian's vehicle.
Approach the driver's side with caution.
5) Always use extreme caution when performing a traffic stop, if you feel that something is wrong, you can
always have your hands on the holster, just incase.
6) When you start to communicate with the driver, you must always priorize RP. You start with introducing
yourself, for example.
(Hello, I am Training Sergeant Milano Alvarez from the SAPD.)
Ask whether they know why they are being pulled over.
7) Explain why you have pulled over the civilian and ask whether he does understand or not.
8) When you completed these steps, you can do 4 things.
- Dismiss the civilian
- Issue a warning
- Issue a citation
- Transport the civilian to the nearest PD.
9) If you have chosen the upper two, priorize RP and also wish the civilian a good day.
10) You have know finished the traffic stop, good job!

Persuit Intervention Technique (P.I.T.)
1) During persuit, or if the chance is there, before the persuit, check the suspects ping. It is mandatory to
know before executing this tactical intervention technique.
2) Execute the tactical intervention technique by alligning your back wheels with the suspects front wheels. In
the most standard cases, you are now in the perfect spot. (If the suspect has an higher ping then 90, be more in
front of the measurement stated above.
3) When the road is clear, and you are sure no civilians are in danger, you drag your steer towards the suspects
vehicle. Steer sharply to the suspects vehicle in one smooth move.
4) In most cases, you will notice that the suspects vehicle's rear tires lose traction, the pursuer continues to
turn in the same direction until the suspect loses complete traction.
5) If needed, re-stabillize your own vehicle before continueing the arrest.
6) If everything went succesful, you can arrest the suspect in a correct way.
7) You have now succesfully finished a PIT, good job. You can see a example of the PIT down here. (Around the
end)

Barricaded suspect
1) When arriving on scene as an officer of the police department, the first thing you want to do is establishing
a perimeter, a secured sector. If this is a major situation, the highest ranked officer is in charge of this
situation. You will have to obey to his orders, he is the leader. You will follow the chain of command made by
Chief J. Schappell.
2) If step one is completed, you will have to continuesly update the situation over the radio. If enough
officers have reached the scene (If 1 (one) suspect is inside barricaded, 5 officers will do easily). You set up
several teams, which listed below here:
- Breaching Team Objective: Breach inside and clear the building.
- Perimeter Team Objective: Secure the perimeter, vehicles may help.
- Exit Engagement Team Objective: Handle suspects that are coming out.
3) Bring all teams into position. Make sure the B.T. is ready to breach. Make sure the P.T. is securing their
perimeter and make sure the E.E.T. is securing the door with pepperspray or a taser.
4) Talk before tactics, try to talk the suspect(s) down. You will need to priorize roleplay. Also come without
casulties. Warn the suspect(s) of all the consequences he/she is facing. Try to get the suspects out of there
safely and peacefully without the use of lethal force.
5) If the talk before tactics method does not work, you have no other choices. You will have to resolve the
situation with use of force. Be sure you know the procedure of use of force.
6) It would be good to know the lay-out of the building and the suspect(s) location. This is crucial information
and it would be gold if you would find that out, if not, it is not a very big problem. But your B.T. will go in
blind. Make sure you have people you can trust in the B.T. But do not forget, always teach the new officers
something new and take them with you with extreme caution.
7) Let the B.T. breach (Only by orders of the Operation Leader) and clear the building. Make sure they cover all
angles. Make sure they do not enter all at a time. Second by second a person goes inside. Always scan the whole
building, all corners, rooms etc..
8) If the suspect(s) come outside, they are busted by the E.E.T. The E.E.T. should report that in the CB or
radio. If the suspect is met in the building while breaching then go as careful as you can. Use extreme
caution!. If the oppertunity is there, take the suspect in custody. Report that on the radio.
9) When the whole operation is over, you will report that in to the radio and you can make a report voluntarily.
Tap your collegues on their backs.
B.T. = Breaching Team
P.T. = Perimeter Team
E.E.T. = Exit Engagement Team
Tactical Vehicle Interventions (Roadblock)
1) Determine the location of the roadblock, make sure the civilians are safe.
2) Deploy the roadblock in the following formation: 1 vehicle horizontally in the back. 2 vehicles in front of
that in a horizontal position. So you will get a kind of gap in the middle of the vehicles, behind the gap, the
last vehicle is located. So your roadblock is unbreakable.
3) Now you will have to report in the location of the roadblock, the suspect and of course the safety passage.
The safety passage is the way to avoid the roadblock. So incase the suspects gets pass the roadblock in some
way, the units can always avoid the roadblock and go through the roadblock.
4) The suspect will get stuck into the roadblock in most cases. Let all the units box in the suspect and
apprehend him. When the suspect still manages to get away. Apply another TVI method.
5) You have now finished the roadblock, good job!
Tactical Vehicle Intervention (Boxing-In)
1) Initiate the tactic by boxing in a vehicle in the diagonal formation or the square formation.
2) When the suspect's vehicle is completely stuck, proceed as following.
3) In case there are 3 cars, 1 unit does the talking. 1 unit keeps firearms present and aiming towards the tyres
of the suspect's vehicle. 1 unit does remain in the vehicle in case this suspect escapes the boxing-in
formation.
4) In case there are 4 cars, 1 unit does the talking. 1 unit keeps firearms present and aiming towards the tyres
of the suspect's vehicle. 2 units do remain inside their vehicles in case this suspect escapes the boxing-in
formation.
5) If you are the talker, order the suspect to throw his keys out of the window, and let the suspect exit his
vehicle afterwards. Tell the suspect, when they attempt to run, force will be used to stop him or her.
6) If the suspect runs for it, use one of the other TVI methods. If the suspect surrenders, follow procedure and
take him into custody.
7) You have now finished the boxing-in method, good job.
Use of Force
We will list different scenarios down below and show the amount of force that allowed to be used.
Scenario 1 - A suspect is running away from the police, he refuses to stop. The first and the most important
thing to do is to warn the suspect. The consequences he is facing if he does not stop running. If the suspect
still refuses to comply, the use of standard duty weaponary is allowed.
Scenario 2 - A suspect is standing still and not moving.You have warned the suspect multiple times but the
suspect did not respond. If they do not comply, the use of non-lethal weaponary is allowed. The pepper spray and
baton may be used. If the suspect is standing still without movement and he is equiped with a firearm, you are
required to still use non-lethal weaponary. It is recommended to have a partner the covers you.
Scenario 3 - A suspect is assaulting you with his hands, he is not in possesion of any type of weapon. You must
use non-lethal weaponary against the suspect. If the suspect must be neutralized, it may only be done by non-
lethal weaponary.
Scenario 4 - A suspect is escaping inside a vehicle. You are not inside a vehicle but on foot. You are allowed
to use your firearm to neutralize the vehicle.
Scenario 5 - A suspect is airborne, on the water (in a boat) or swimming. You are allowed to use lethal force,
only after a warning.
On Scenario's 4 and 5 you may use all kinds of weaponary.
Tactical Vehicle Intervention (Drive-by'ing)
1) Please do mind, there are only a few scenario's where you are allowed to drive-by, these scenario's are noted
below.
- The suspect(s) is in a faster vehicle than the police cruiser, police rancher or HPV-1000. (The vehicle you
are driving, as you are required to drive police vehicles, it will be the cruiser)
- The suspect(s) is being a threat to life.
- The suspect(s) is driving a motorcycle off-road.
2) You must always warn the suspect before drive-by'ing. You can warn him by using "/m1 /m2 /m3". If the suspect
still does not comply, execute the TVI. When a suspect is causing a direct threat to yourself or anyone else,
you are not mandatory to use the commands above.
3) You may not drive-by a suspect from the driving seat, it is possible. You may only drive-by a suspect from
the driving seat when you are on a motorcycle ofcourse, #1 still applies here.
4) Now we are getting to the practical part, start pulling up behind the suspect's vehicle. When the suspect has
meet the requirements that are stated in #1, you may use the TVI method.
5) Warn the suspect by using the "/m1 /m2 /m3" commands and await any action.
6) If the suspect fails to comply with the police, you may start the tactic. Only shoot on the tyres as that
will be more effective and safe. Make sure civilians are out of range. Depending on the suspect's ping, you will
have to adjust your aiming point. When the suspect has a ping of around 50, you can easily shoot his tyres. When
the suspect has a ping of around 130, you might want to shoot the rear lights as that will hit the tyres.
7) Keep shooting until you have got some tyres, await any action, if he still does not comply, continue
shooting.
8) If the suspect still does not comply, you may shoot the car. Aim for the rear side of the car, in the middle
of the rear lights. Stop shooting when you see the car has black smoke.
9) Await further actions of the suspect. Give him a final warning, and if he still does not comply, you may
shoot until the car is on fire. When you see the car is on fire, immediately stop firing. The suspect will be
forced to jump out of the car, if the suspect does not, the suspect will kill himself. If you have the suspect
and he is surrendered, continue normal procedures and take the suspect into custody.
10) You have now finished the TVI method, good job!
