In the last couple weeks, the Command Team and the Staff members have dealt with issues that we don't want to deal with. Metagaming, Fail RP, RDM, etc are all minor issues that can easily resolved, but the issues that we had to deal with involved bullying, abuse, and the use of racial slurs. We've had members of this community in tears because of these people. This is completely unacceptable in cop and in the server and if we find out anyone who is bullying, abusing others, or using racial slurs, you will be removed from the APD and we will be seeking further punishment from the staff team.
This community is home to a lot of people. Some people are involved in this community to escape from reality. Some people are underprivileged and are facing serious issues in real life. People play Cop on Altis Life to have fun and to get their mind occupied and distract them from personal issues.
As a member of the APD, not only are you representing the APD but the community. People do not judge a server based on the civilian or medic population, they judge it based on the Police population. Every member of the APD should show respect to other members of the community and each other. Think about what you're going to say before saying it because you never know if it will affect anyone. This is a roleplay server, as a Police Officer you are expected to show respect and be professional, not swear at others while in game.
What has been lacking in the APD is unity. We need to show more respect to one another instead of nitpicking and backstabbing everyone, trying to get each other disciplined for every small little issue. I don't have the exact numbers but we are averaging at about 3 disciplinary actions per day. Some of these were for minor issues. Minor protocol breaks, deal with it in person and talk about it like men instead of coming to one of us and wasting our times. Something like abuse, bullying is what we're concerned about.
We have already been punishing players for reasons outside of cop but we are going to be making this clear to everyone. If you cannot be a respectable member of this community, you will have no part in the APD. Multiple people have been removed already and I don't want to see anymore.
If anyone needs to speak to someone about a personal issue or anything, message Tinyy (Nigel), Sam01 (Anti Wingman), or myself on teamspeak. If we are free we will talk to you.
