Hey fellow Law Enforcers With this topic I'd like to inform and assist you in understanding and creating a police department. It's important that departments are organised and have a structure to ensure officers are appointed to tasks and supervisors ensure tasks are completed. While rank structure is an important part of your department, it's also important to have a good divisional structure. Hopefully at the end of the text you're a bit wiser on how a police department works. We'll start of with Police Ranks. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Hierarchy Staff Officers Chief Of Police - In charge of the department and handles public relations with other departments aswell as controls internal procedures and protocolsDeputy Assistant Chief Of Police - In charge of the department when the Chief of Police is on absence Deputy Chief of Police - In charge of a large part of the department, known as an Office. Example: Office of Operations or Office of Counter Terrorism Command Officers Commander - In charge of a training within the department. Example: Sergeant In Training or Detective In Training Captain - In charge of a precinct or leads all patrols within a certain area and acts as a supervisor to supervisors. Lieutenant - In charge of a larger division and serves as city wide/ patrol wide supervisor. Supervisor Sergeant - In charge of smaller divisions or head of certain aspects within divisions. Alse the first contact point for basic officers Senior Lead Officer - A non commissioned officer who is in training to become either a supervisor or detective.. Investigator Detective In Charge - In charge of a investigation division and will handle day to day requests from lower ranked Detectives. Also in charge of casefiles. Detective - Basic detective who investigates crimes after they happened and observes organised crimes Senior Lead Officer - A non commissioned officer who is in training to become either a supervisor or detective. Non Commissioned Officers Police Officer III - Patrol officer who teaches the new officers the way around the department. Police Officer II - Basic Patrol officer who makes up most of the department. Police Officer I - Newly inducted Police Officers who are in their probationary stage and learn the way of the department. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Hierarcy With the previous mentioned hierarcy the base of your department should be filled. However it is always possible to adjust the ranks towards the need of your department. For example you can create a Senior Sergeant who would be a basic sergeant, but in training to become a Lieutenant. Another example is a Lieutenant I and Lieutenant II. Where the I would ensure larger divisions are kept under control the Lieutenant II would handle a precinct or multiple patrols. Ranks also work hand in had with your organisation. For example if you have 7 divisions it might be wise to have 7 lieutenants or a few lieutenants of the bigger divisions and sergeants of the smaller divisions. It's important to know your department, because some divisions will require more intense handeling than others. Warrants and searches require more knowledge of the penal code and law than a traffic division. For that reason it's better to have a Lieutenant handle the Investigation divisions and a Sergeant the Traffic Division. The higher the rank the more legal and situational knowledge a person must have. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Organization Chart _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Organization Know your department and its needs! It's very important to ensure your department has a wide arrangement of divisions people can join so their day to day tasks are never the same and never boring. A good structure is most needed in the department and every part of it has a person controlling it. Divisions by Sergeants, Large divisions by Lieutenants, Precincts by Captains, Offices by Deputy Chiefs and at the top the Chief of Police. The way a good structure works if that a basic officer will not have to complain to the Chief of Police. If he has a problem he should go to his appointed sergeant. If he can not solve it, the sergeant goes to his superior and so on. Because there are limited amounts of divisions in an Office there will be a good overview of them all. It's important that the division leader reports to the Office leader and the Office leader to the Chief of Police. Ensure to give your Deputy Chief of Police enough power to change his Office by only having to inform the Chief of Police with the changes. This way there is more control and better support for every division and they will know who too contact when there is a problem. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ GENERAL NOTICE: If you have comments or have questions about a certain aspect within the police department, you can always ask it here. I'll try to give a good answer to every question asked. Obviously if your question is important, it will also be added in the topic along with the explanation. If you have certain subjects to add aswell you can always PM me and it will be added into the topic along with credits too your name. This topic is aimed to give a detailed guide on how to make or understand a police department and hopefully the community works with eachother to give tips to other servers. Sorry for possible writing errors

Hi, i'm from Montreal, QC, Canada! My name is Levi King, and this will aswell be the name i will be using in game. Now here is my character's intro. Levi King is born in a western european unknown town, his mother and father were forced to leave him to a orphanage, due to their very low income, so that he could atleast be fed and go to school, something they couldnt afford. No luck for him, for the 13 years he spent in that orphanage (he flex at 13),he was beten, bareley fed and forced to work. He found a homeless refuge where he was accepted in no time. Around 3 weeks later, rumours were being spreaded that a good samaritain would be helping some cross the atlantic on a container ship, Levi took a chance, what did he have to loose anyways? The crossing was long, but they made it! Levi found himself to be in Canada, Halifax apparently. Even though he had no idea of where he was, he was just happy. He, in the following days, found himself to have traveled a very long distance to a Metropolis called Montreal. Levi was adopted by a Italian family, the King's. (Levi King is not his actual name, its just the name the King's gave him). As he grew up, Levi found out that his "father" Frank King, was the Mob in a big organisation, and that he was a very important person in montreal. In his 20´s Levi got into the Mafia. As time went on, Frank became old and eventually died, making Levi his only "son" become the Bigboss. One day though, he got a call from one of the members of the Family, he was told to just rush to the border, and head south; Police had an arrest warrent on him, he had to hurry before the warrent makes it to the border, after a couple of yellow envelopes, Levi became a United States resident. And he decided to start all over again.

in one day someone asked @motown on twitter about car customization and he replyed saying: you can customize your car with everything and use many options to add on your car. so are these types of Camo paints can be possible ? pics *

Since it is a life mod, I'd say that it would lagg the servers with constant client updates and loss of packages due to people going on and off of the servers. If you go afk on ur main server that you always play on, someone else might fill the spot and you cannot play on ur main character. I feel like it would be around an hour or no inactivity ban at all.

Okay so lets see the patterns here in the angry mafia circlejerk book of insults. We have the classic homosexual insults towards me and @Shimozukachi, very classy and original.... Then the PC master race insult, again very obviously true and very offensive indeed.... Then of course you question our intelligence on PC's before proceeding to insult your own intelligence by making a point that makes literally no sense, to get a Wii U?!?. You may think you sound all big and hard because you're stuck in your imaginary mafioso but in reality you just sound fucking dumb.

@HairyGrenade , a moderator, confirmed that you won't be able to build your own house. You will only be able to edit existing ones.

Will there be security cameras in the game? I think it would be a great idea. In shops, around shops and banks looking onto the street. It could be useful in an investigation. If someone is covering their face during a crime they would be harder to identify, if they don't have their face covered during a crime police would easily be able to identify and issue a warrant or hunt them. Also, it would reduce trolls. If a shop owner reported a robbery, he could either be lying to distract or send the police on a goose chase or telling the truth. A camera system would help in many cases .

Did you search? Well maybe if you click this link: http://www.eternagaming.com/exclusive-interview-with-identity/ You will find a Exclusive interview with questions and the answers, there may be something there but i am sure I have answered this on this forum we are on.

1. Great question, I think that they maybe will have it so you can enter if you 'Live' there (if has more than 1 bedroom) but if only 1 bedroom then it's no entry. I could be wrong as this is a wild guess. 2. His vehicle's will probably be in a garage.

I don't see why there should be these types because no military in the game, but then again could be there for freedom but My opinion is that I rather not see vehicle's like this.

I wasn't born in Italy, dum dum.

Everything that follows is only my opinion. In the concept pictures we only see civilian, SWAT police and other 'industrial' clothes, and I'm extrapolating the idea to the vehicles paintings or "camos". Among the foreseen jobs and careers, we know there will be police and SWAT, but not military, precisely because, being Identity some kind of evolution from the Altis Life Arma III mod to a more civilian concept, the military concept seems to be a bit out of the scope. That's my feeling. That being said, and exactly for the same reason of coming from an evolution from a military based mod, maybe such military skins assets do in fact exist and can be added for militia purposes. Personally, I would really like Identity to be more what you usually see out there while doing a norma life. Unless living near a base, you don't really see military stuff around. I would feel a bit weird and less immersive to see military stuff in a city that resembles New York. Just my personal taste. EDIT: Welcome to the forum!

- Im really into roleplay, i think that identity will bring the ultimate RP experience! -I would really like to build up a big empire, like a mob or a criminal organisation.

Lol you can. That's the funny thing. You and your little boy toy shitzmo shout PC master race yet you dont even know how to go on incognito mode in chrome. Please stick to a Wii U

No, Italians barely know such a harsh language. And by the way, buddy, 11/10 makes 1 & 1/10, which is ℅110. The British education system spawns the dumbest cunts though. Have a fun time preforming fellatio on Kickapoo, you guys get so triggered and jealous of my posts so you feel the need to open those pussy flaps your mama calls lips. Lmao, who let the trannys out!

Funny thing is you're the same bitch who apologized for your childish behavior via DM to me. You're a joke, you're dirt, you're nothing.

Stfu lol you are a waste of life. You have no right to open your brit cunt mouth in this post. You're just jealous your culture is British fagget culture. Bye bye

Hello O'le chap and Welcome to the identity community! What do you look forward to most about Identity? What are your goals in Identity? Recommended specs are not known because it's too early in development to get reliable info. If you can run games like GTA V, ARMA 3, ARK then you should be fine! Please read the 2 FAQ's which are linked in my signature. Please feel free to use the resources on this forum/ website to gather information on the game. If you have not found something within the resources, please don't hesitate to ask as everyone here is happy to help! Cheerio!

I'm an Aussie

That kick system is shit i think. Because even in a private lobby you get kicked and I doubt people will afk for long times because they won't make money not doing a job or something.

It's actually in their house tour video

Have you seen your fucking post history? You got a stick lodged up your ass and it clearly won't come out.

I Like aussies ♥ ♥

The kick system can work the same way GTA 5's does, if nothing on the keyboard or mouse is touched for like 10 min then AFK

I'm not from Europe, and I don't want to be. It's pretty much a shithole nowadays, especially GERMANY.

and some times peoples are just hanging around in some friends car chatting while basically doing nothing would be annoying to get afk kick while having fun with friends

U mean Q1? Sorry my stupidity

So i have a question (Suggestion if it's not planned for the game). As stated in the title, can the police give you a ticket for parking illegally? For example, parking in front of someone's garage. Or can their vehicle be towed for doing so, if so, Since i know that the game will have tow trucks im wondering if a illegally parked car will be one of the uses for a tow truck. If a vehicle marked for towing manages to change their location to try to not get their car towed, i assume their license plate would be saved so the patrol cops could use an ANPR to find the said car that relocated. Also, to mark a vehicle and make it stay in place i would love to see the cops mark vehicles and make them immobile until the tow truck arrives by locking the wheel so the car can't drive, and the tow truck driver can remove it at any time. P.S: This would only apply if there even are license plates in the game

U ever had Taco Bell?

In the recent review done with Asylum, (found here, http://www.eternagaming.com/exclusive-interview-with-identity/) a concert hall was mentioned that players can rent to host classical, rock, etc. events and I am wondering how many of you besides myself are musicians and would be interested in forming an orchestra to perform in what I'm assuming with be Roseport Performing Arts Center or something along the lines. There is very little information on what kind of instruments will actually be available in Identity, so this could end up being a complete waste of time, (which correctly represents the life of a classical musician anyways). Please let me know with a message with a little bit of info about yourself and we will move on from there!

So title says it all, check points. How will it be set up as? By whom? Could any officer do it? What "rules" will they have ? Can they stop who ever they want in that check point? Where I´m from usually the sergeant from the precinct orders it to another lower rank telling him where he wants it and what to be aware of, and then this guy sets up a team explains it before leaving at the time the boss wants it.

Hey there! I am the head of the Liberal Progress Union and completely agree with you. As far as the Government is concerned it is not about the whole equality thing, it is about helping make jobs and boost the economy as well as keeping people safe and away from danger. - Pine

To add on, for forest fires its not so much using water but pre burning to stop t from spreading...there really isnt a way to stop the fire other than to cut off its fuel so you draw a line in the sand and take away all the fuel the fire has to burn there and the fire goes out...haha and sadly with there being no Arial vehicles that takes away the fun, as for water we have pools that we use that water is dumped into from ponds if we dont have hydrants which run under pressure (most likely from a water tower) so depending on where your at in the game may depend on how you get your water. If someone is parked illegally, the fire department has the right to use any means necessary to achieve that, from using a neighbors pool...to breaking a drivers window to run a hose through the window to the hydrant (that happened before in Cleveland, Ohio where a woman parked in-front of a hydrant and they broke her window to hook up.)

@Honeybadger I will give it strong consideration.

@Capped I believe you could enter a house by talking your way in then rob the person since you are already in their place, they don't want ppl to break in players homes while they are away and unable to defend their possessions

Gladly, just PM me and we'll talk out a business deal.

Tell that to the Mp5SD. The silencer (there is a mechanical difference, as well as a legal one) muffles the report of the weapon to such a degree, that the bolt closing is actually louder than the shot.

There both the same thing, and theres no "suppressor" that can fully suppress noice and no silencer that can fully silence it. They just reduce the noise output.

Ok so here are some cars that interest me

I would love to see this kind of cars. Bmw m6 gran coupe mclaren mp4 12c honda accord sedan mclaren 650s

While I understand that there are higher up supervisors can guide units, they also have a lot more to do. First of all it would be highly unrealistic to go from a police officer directly to lieutenant but you should get some experience as a basic supervisor first so you can handle small scenes before attempting large scenes as a lieutenant. Sergeants or supervisors will be your supervisor on the ground and will handle supervisor requests, pursuit protocols etc. While lieutenants will more likely handle big situations, close off roads, give interviews. Secondly, it's imporant to have a difference between those who just became supervisor and those who can teach basic officers how to be a supervisor. Lieutenants do a lot more than just basic supervising and are not always patrolling around but sometimes also focus on their other assignment such as division.

Platoon C would be a platoon that handles for example big disturbance of large groups, hunt down people with arrest warrants on them. They could also do patrol with more equipment or are generally trained for more dangerous situations or situations with lifes on the line. Could also be something else such as a motorcade division, COMPSTAT division, High Speed Pursuit Division, or much more things. The draft I made is just an example and it's totally possible to add more or remove some divisions from the department.

Hello, First of all thanks for the effort but however I'd like to discuss something with you about this. I like the general way it works and obviously promotions should be based on either applications or achievements. However things such as field supervisor are needed in police departments. For example a normal police officer won't just get Captain but will also have to learn how to be a supervisor before he can lead a big part of the department. I love the way it's drawn and stuff and argee on the general concept however lots of ranks are missing. SWAT should also not be a full time job within the department as SWAT would serve as supervisor/patrol officer untill they are actually needed.

Hey there. I'm curious if there's any information on driver's licenses and having points or warnings attached to them after a successful traffic stop similar to the real life counter parts? Also, how deep will traffic rules go as far as licenses, insurance, registration, ect?

Yesterday afternoon, for another Identity Insider, we've released a video detailing the workings of player housing in Identity and what it has to offer at our present point in development. This gives you a good idea of the level of fidelity we're going for in all of our key systems, and more videos will follow as we continue. Housing was chosen for our first video as our initial focus in development is for features present in the upcoming Town Square module. If you haven't already seen the video, check it out above. Housing as you've seen in the video is an excellent place to hang out with friends, but it has a lot of good practical uses, too! First, housing is the primary storage location for items you've collected. Whether it's a bookshelf full of books, a gun-rack with wall-mounted guns, or a crate full of junk, it's sort of like a bank for tangible stuff. Housing is also valuable for moderate crafting, too. Some advanced recipes might require a factory, but a lot of stuff can be created at your home using special crafting tables. A hydroponics table can even be used to grow small-scale plants, legal or otherwise!
