• F5

The Police Computer shows:

• wanted players
• their distance
• their city
• their team
• their transport type

It also lets you:

• filter by transport
• filter by city

It also shows law-side information such as:

• arrests
• law points
• danger level
• online law count

Arrests

Arrests are the main job action of a `Police Officer`.

To send a wanted player to jail:

• kill them
• or taze them and arrest them with the nightstick

Most players kill instead of using the full arrest process.

After a player is arrested:

• they are sent to jail
• their jail time depends on their wanted level

Nightstick

The police nightstick is the arrest weapon for:

• non-violent wanted players

To arrest with the nightstick:

• hit the target 3 times

After that:

• take them to the nearest police station

This does not apply if they use:

• /surrender

Nightstick limits

You cannot arrest players with the nightstick if:

• they are inside vehicles

Inside `JFM`:

• cops cannot arrest with the nightstick
• they can only kill

Taser

The `Taser` is the stun weapon used before arresting.

Key points:

• it replaces the pistol
• it does no damage
• it is used before arresting with the nightstick

Wanted system

Police Officers work directly with the wanted system.

Players become wanted by doing crimes such as:

• aiming at police
• committing criminal acts

The stars above a player's head show:

• that player's wanted level

To check wanted stars, use:

/wl

This shows:

• your wanted stars
• the top 3 most wanted players

APB

`APB` means:

• `All Points Bulletin`

It is a server-wide alert for highly wanted players.

Key points:

• it starts at 1000 Wanted Points
• up to 3 `APBs` can exist at once
• the thresholds are 1000, 1100, and 1200 WP

To view the current APB target, use:

/apb

`/apb` shows:

• the current target
• the target location
• whether the target is inside an `AR`

The APB target also gets:

• a yellow star blip

APB alerts

When an `APB` is posted:

• both cops and criminals can see the alert

APB removal

An `APB` is removed when the target:

• is arrested
• dies
• quits while a cop is nearby

Protected Areas

Inside a `Protected Area`:

• wanted players cannot be damaged
• wanted players can only jog
• cops can still taze wanted players
• cops can still arrest wanted players

This means `Protected Areas` do not fully stop police action.

Communication

Police Officers use law communication tools for coordination.

Emergency Chat

To talk to other law players, use:

/e <message>

This is used for:

• law backups
• regrouping
• coordination

Law codes can be learned through:

• F1 > Documentation
• /codes

AI partner

Police Officers can get an AI partner.

Use:

/partner

This works when:

• the danger level is above 1.5

You can also use it:

• while inside a vehicle

The AI partner is removed if:

• the cop dies

Earnings

Police Officers make money from:

• arrests
• `APB` captures
• law-side participation in `ARs`
