What Can I Do as a Police Officer?

Arresting Criminals:
- Use your nightstick to arrest wanted criminals or simply kill them if they've committed a violent crime.
- If a criminal is running away and you are having difficulty arresting them, use a taser (silenced pistol) to slow them down for 3 seconds, which makes it easier to catch and arrest them.
Marking Wanted Players:
- To mark wanted players, open your police computer by pressing F5, then click on Pin All.
- You can filter the list by city or wanted level by selecting the appropriate values in the panel. Note: Wanted players with less than 50 law points or less than 15 hours of playtime will not be visible on the police computer.
After Arresting a Criminal:
- Once you've successfully arrested a criminal, take them to the nearest police station. You will see a label above the arrested player that says [Arrested by <Your Name>].

Police Vehicle Recovery

Can Police Officers Recover Vehicles?
- Yes, Police Officers can recover their vehicles to their position, and VIP status is not required.

- Note: If you recover a vehicle while having another player arrested, you must wait 10 seconds before your vehicle will appear.
Police Vehicle Usage:
- Police cars can only be used while employed as a Police Officer. If you are not employed as a Police Officer, you cannot use police vehicles.
Megaphone Feature:

Kill Arresting Criminals

When Can You Kill Arrest Someone?
