There seems to be a problem in the last few days between GD Officers and SRT Officers. I've been a direct witness to a few of them and have been told some of these issues. There's been a divide between the two departments of the APD which is not needed at, especially at this time when the APD and the server is currently rebuilding.
I've spoken to Officers on both side and I'm going to speak to more to get an idea of what's going on and what works best with them. If anyone has any input on the matter, message me directly on forums or preferably teamspeak.
Now to the problem, from what I gathered. People believe that SRT think that they're better than GD units and that they're too "good" to process people. What led to this was SRT officers dropping people off at PD for GD units to process. SRT are not better than GD units in terms of status and position within the APD. However, they are better than GD units in terms of combat skills and GD units should listen to instructions given by them during combat situations because they're the guys who know what to do. If SRT makes a bad call then leave it at that. They learn from it and it's part of the game. You win some you lose some.
I'll describe a few situations. There's been a miscommunication between GD and SRT about a transportation of a rebel in restraints. SRT was asked by GD to transport a rebel to PD and they did. Once they've dropped the rebel at PD, the processing officers were asking what to charge the guy for and nobody answered. SRT was blamed for dropping a guy off and leaving SRT to process without telling them what were his crimes.
Another situation occurred at Checkpoint 1 where SRT was conducting operations. They told GD units to leave and not to shoot at the strider they weren't in declaration with. The GD unit shot the strider and got an SRT Officer killed. The players involved in this situation dealt with it in a civil fashion.
Finally, when the CO decided to go on a mass foot patrol. The members of Command Team included myself ordered them to return to PD for partnering so we can do General Duties properly. Someone thought it was a smart idea to make a comment saying something along the lines of "Nice of SRT to ruin our roleplay moment". Comments like those aren't needed when it's not their fault.
SRT's job is to prevent global rebel activity and from what I've seen they've been doing a great job at that. They are an integral part of the APD like GD. Without them, rebels could roam free and do drug runs and get away with heavy firepower.
This little fight with each other needs to stop immediately. If you have a problem, instead of having an argument with each other, come find me and we'll figure out a solution or talk to each department about it in a civil manner. Warnings have been handed out and more will come and will have an impact on your chance for promotions.
TL;DR
GD and SRT needs to stop fighting with each other and start working together. Come to me if you have a problem.
