Good Afternoon, I thought I would add a new topic that many people might be trying to overlook in this new RPG we are all so excited about. I wanted to bring up the role play aspect of Officer Integrity. I know from what I have read we will have a voting system on officers and other official positions that players can have direct input on. This alone makes for an amazing opportunity for people who want to play in the Law Enforcemtn rolls and other goernment rolls when the time comes. Please use this small guide as a reminder of what Integrity means to officers Police Integrity A police force with integrity is one with little or no misconduct or corruption. In the past, most studies viewed the problem of misconduct as one of individual problem officers, the so-called bad apples on the force. More recent studies show that whites generally see misconduct as episodic and confined to individual officers, while blacks tend to see misconduct as a more entrenched aspect of policing. Management and Culture Affect Integrity Current research finds that the management and culture of a department are the most important factors influencing police behavior.[2] How the department is managed will dramatically affect how officers behave toward citizens. And how officers behave toward citizens will affect whether citizens view law enforcement as an institution with integrity. Organizations that place priorities in the following areas will do better at maintaining integrity • Accountability of managers and supervisors • Equal treatment for all members of the organization • Citizen accessibility to the department • Inspections and audits • Quality education for employees Defining values and principles and incorporating them into every facet of operations may be more important than hiring decisions. Diligence in detecting and addressing misconduct will show officers that managers practice what they preach. How to Improve Integrity Findings from a study of 3,235 officers from 30 mostly municipal law enforcement agencies reveal the following recommendations for police managers: • Address and discipline minor offenses so officers learn that major offenses will be disciplined too. • Open the disciplinary process to public scrutiny. • Rotate officer assignments to discourage the formation of bonds that lead officers to cover up the misconduct of others. Many departments are improving integrity and raising the standards for officers by taking the following steps: • Improving the way they hire and train officers in ethics and cultural awareness. • Collecting data to track traffic stops and other encounters with citizens. • Soliciting community input through citizen review boards, ombudsmen or community problem-solving initiatives. I feel that if most if not ALL of the suggestions and lessons learned from these studies and examples of what to do will help new people just getting into the idea of this role playing community as well as veterans and founders of the game. If you have any questions or want to message me to chat about these thoughts feel free to do so. Very Respectfully Tiger_lily

// WARNING!! THIS TOPIC CONTAINS A LOT OF LAME ENGLISH AND POSSIBLY WRONG INFORMATION!! // TOO-TOO-RUU, MY LOVELY CITIZENS! I though it would be great to share some of my ideas, thoughts and dreams of making the game world suitable for audiophiles. Hi-Fi Components Who doesn't love to sit an a comfortable chair and listen to his/her favorite songs or dance to some funky melodies? The answer is...almost nobody! For those who are not really a music lovers there'll be some simple compact audio systems on the market. For example: Yamaha Pianocraft reciever series The ones like this here will be sold in an all-in-one boxes which'll make them very popular among modest citizens. Their sounding and power probably won't be enough for satisfying every person, but they're cheap and easy to use. If you are an audiophile whose ears just will not listen to some crappy mess coming out of a cheap sound system (whoops, accidentally exposed the truth behind the cheap audio systems), then you will be given an opportunity to build your own complex (enough) setup for your needs. Lets intoduce the parts first. Pieces of equipments mosaic 1) Amps and recievers An amplifier is a device that amplifies low-power audio signals to a level suitable for driving loudspeakers. A regular stereo amplifier can only do it with 2 channels, so you will only get stereo from it. For building a multichannel setups for home theater systems there is a thing called "AV-Amplifier" that can handle up to 11 (maybe even more) speakers and 1-2 subwoofers. Put simply, a reciever is an amp with a built-in radio tuner and, sometimes, more flexible sound settings. The reasonable thing to do for simplification of the whole thing is to make in-game amps do stereo-only (with one subwoofer output) and leave the multichanneling for their elder brothers that recievers surely are because of the pricing. By the way, dont forget about the tuner, since it promises to be very advanced here, in the game world. 2) Speakers They will differ from each other by such specifications as: - Peak power- - Frequency Responce- -Places where you can put them ( so obvious that requires a facepalm to be done after reading that line)- You have to choose them carefully because there won't be any built-in amp in there (which means that all of them will be "passive"). To make a right choice you have to buy an amp or a reciever less powerful than your speakers will be. 3) Sources of Audio Since the game allows us to use a PC or a smartphone, you will be given an opportunity to plug these two to your Hi-Fi Audio System and play songs. Other sources of audio like CD and Vinyl Record players will be presented if such phonorecords will be included in the final game. Some of the things that were said above are maybe wrong, stupid and hard to realize, but lets not forget that Identity is based on UE4 that allows to manipulate with audio in many ways by mixing, cutting, changing it's pitch and play radius, so let's hope that at least 50% of all this here can be implemented to improve the overall gaming experience. That's all for now... SEE YA!
