Ok guys please don't start to argue. This is the tip of the iceberg. That i agree with. These changes are just the start. The issue's that can't be seen is the way the Police Force is carrying out the way they conduct themselves. The biggest issue with the Altis Life sever is lack of ROLE PLAY. Everyone is all about shoot first ask questions later. This expected from Rebels not Police. We don't need all these high end weapons to role play.
With the way The Police Force conduct themselves isn't up to staff. This is up to the Commissioner and his counter parts. To be honest this isn't being done well at all. Hence why myself and staff have intervened. Not one person was recommended for the top position so I looked outside the square. This reflex's poorly on the Police and in-turn we are losing members on the server. As you stated @Blackout there isn't enough cops online or higher ups. This is due to 2 reasons in my eyes.
1. People don't enjoy playing cop.
2. It's not about what you know. Its who you know.
I can name a lot of our members who have played cop for 100+ hours and still haven't got anywhere due to them not being liked or because they don't have a tick or a shield next to their name. This will stop with a Commissioner who isn't bias and doesn't pick higher ups due to whether they are liked by the SRT guys, but are promoted on there performance and actions they take in game.
As for SP, Im not going to build the Altis Life server around these guys. This is the most elite rebel gang we have on our server. Its not up to staff to counter this. It is up to the police force to come up with ways to counter. If I was to make changes around this one gang then the rest of the server would struggle and not enjoy playing. For example, why not try training with SP. I know these guys are always up to help and role play hostage situations. SP used to be asked on a weekly biases to help with training and it worked.
@Zehaava I don't do things on the fly. Its being introduced on the 20th due to the prep that needs to go into it. I have multiple staff getting these task done. This takes time and effort. Its not a simple task.
If these changes don't work then we will make further adjustments. This is not going to be a one off thing.
