APB – All Points Bulletin

The APB system is a high-priority alert used to notify all law players and criminals about a dangerous suspect with a high wanted level. It ensures that both sides are aware and can act accordingly—either to arrest or avoid the target.

What Is an APB?

APB stands for All Points Bulletin.
It's an automatic or manual alert placed on suspects who reach a high number of Wanted Points (WP).
These players are marked as top priority for arrest.

When Is an APB Triggered?

Auto-APBs are triggered automatically when a suspect reaches 1,000+ WP.
Limit: A maximum of 3 APBs can exist at the same time.
Each new APB increases the required WP:
- 1st APB: 1,000 WP
- 2nd APB: 1,100 WP
- 3rd APB: 1,200 WP

How to Identify an APB

A yellow star blip will appear on the map.
An on-screen message will say: "<Player> posted an APB on <Player> – assist in arresting them!"
Use /apb in chat to view:
- Name of the current APB
- Their location
Open the CITPhone (B) > "Event Times" app to also see APB info.

Who Can See APBs?

Both Cops and Criminals are notified of an active APB.
The message appears on screen and in logs for increased visibility.

APB Rules

Gangsters cannot damage APBs, and APBs cannot damage gangsters.
Only law players (cops) can arrest an APB.

Tips for Cops

Use the Police Computer (F5) to pin APBs for fast navigation.
Team up for faster takedowns

Tips for Criminals

If you are the APB:
- Stay moving and avoid open areas.
- Use drugs (LSD, Speed, God) to escape longer.
