Police Officer

Police Officer is the main law job in CIT. It is the base police role for tracking wanted players, arresting or killing criminals, patrolling, and joining law side responses in ARs and CEs.

How to become a police officer

You can become a Police Officer by:

going to the LSPD or SFPD front entrance and entering the blue law job marker
warping to LSPD with /lspd while under 20 hours, then taking the blue law job marker
taking the job at Law Farm
using /go Police Officer after reaching 100,000 law points

The /go Police Officer GUI will not open if a wanted criminal is too close.

Police Workflow

Open the Police Computer with F5.
Find wanted players.
Track them.
Kill them or arrest them with the nightstick.
Send them to Jail.

Killing a wanted criminal counts the same as arresting them with the nightstick.

Police cannot arrest players inside vehicles with the nightstick.

Inside JFM, cops can only kill and cannot nightstick arrest.

Useful Commands

Command or key	Use
`F5`	Open the Police Computer

`/apb`	View the current APB target
`/e <message>`	Talk in Emergency Chat
`/codes`	View law codes
`/partner`	Get an AI partner when danger level is above `1.5`

Progression

Police levels unlock law jobs, vehicles, /sirens, and higher kill arrest payout. Level 60 is the maximum police level.

Early specialist unlocks include Traffic Officer, Police Detective, and Bomb Disposal.

Related commands

Command	Use
`/bk`	Police and military can use it to call for backup at their current location.
`/calls`	Police and military can use it to view all calls to active crimes.
`/lspd`	Warps you to Los Santos Police Department if you have under `20` playtime hours.

Repeat jail payment

The same cop is paid for the first 2 consecutive jails of the same player. The third consecutive jail is unpaid. There is no timed reset. A jail by a different cop breaks the sequence, and active event exceptions can still pay.

Arrest process and duty limits

Tase a non violent wanted player if needed.
Hit the player 3 times with the nightstick within 45 seconds.
Stay near the arrested player for 3 seconds per wanted star.
Take the player to the nearest police station unless they use /surrender.

The player stays in custody if the arresting officer exits a vehicle or enters a vehicle the arrested player cannot enter. The player is released if the officer drives away, glues to a vehicle, or uses a parachute. A released player receives 3 seconds of invincibility.

Use /quitjob to leave Police Service. It is blocked within 50 meters of a wanted player or hit target.
