alright fuckers, lets type up this long ass post on how I think police should work
Keep in mind this whole post will revolve around us using an "Americanized" version of rp_newexton2. Currently Poseidon (being the lad he is) is trying to get the vmf so we can change all the flags, logos, and road signs to be American.
Since the city has two parts of the map (City/Urban, and Suburban), there will be two departments governing the map.
In the city will be the Police Department.
These will most likely be the models for the Police Department, unless better are found.
Like I said, the Police Department will be the ones governing the city. Their jurisdiction will be the city, however they can leave the city if chase goes out of that jurisdiction and there are no SOs on or they grant them permission to go through.
Rank Structure for PD (from top to bottom)
Chief
Deputy Chief
Captain
Lieutenant
Sergeant
Corporal
Senior Officer (to stretch ranks out a bit more).
Officer
Probationary Officer
If you apply and get accepted, you will start off as a Probationary Officer. You must fulfill a determined quota (probably just a ride along) to get promoted to Officer.
Around the rank of Sergeant is when you will be doing more work such as handling big things like Bank Heists and bigger (not major) operations.
Lieutenants and Captains will be the main people coordinating the big raids and big operations, and handling more "day to day" type work.
The Chief and Deputy Chief are the top dogs of the Department, they are the guys in charge.
In the suburbs will be the Sheriff's Office.
These will most likely be the models for the Sheriff's Office, unless better are found..
The Sheriff's Office is literally just the Police Department but they patrol in the suburbs. Jurisdiction will be the opposite, where they patrol the suburbs and need permission to go into the city when a chase is happening.
Rank Structure for SO (from top to bottom)
Sheriff
Deputy Sheriff
Captain
Lieutenant
Sergeant
Corporal
Senior Deputy
Deputy
Probationary Deputy
The rank structure is literally replacing Chief with Sheriff and Officer with Deputy.
If you apply and get accepted, you will start off as a Probationary Deputy. You must fulfill a determined quota (probably just a ride along) to get promoted to Deputy.
Around the rank of Sergeant is when you will be doing more work such as handling big things like Bank Heists and bigger (not major) operations.

The Chief and Deputy Sheriff are the top dogs of the Department, they are the guys in charge.
Other Police things/departments
There will probably be task forces inside the departments. The first one is SWAT.
SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) are the guys who go in with armor and bearcats and good guns and shit to deal with hostage situations and bank heists. Due to the small number of people, SWAT will most likely take members from both departments.
There are other possible task forces that can be added, such as K9, Detectives/Undercover cops, and a drug task force. However if the playercount is low there is no reason to add these.
Overseer
At the top of it all, will be the Police Commissioner. They are basically in charge of both of the departments. This will probably be for Riddick or whoever is in charge of the server.
