Went into editor for like 20 mins, this is what I came up with. Located at North SYD gas, lemme know your thoughts. Its not perfect, I only spent like 20 mins doing this so obviously things can be improved. Only problem that I could see at the moment would be the prop count, not sure on that.

By placing this Application you are not guaranteed placement in the Academy. Your Application for Academy Officer in the APD may be Denied if you answers do not meet the minimum word limit, you lie in your answers, have an unsatisfactory history of Server Rule Breaches/ Protocol Breaches or fail to agree and acknowledge all statements and declarations in this Application. You Application may also be Denied after an Interview with a member of the Academy Officer. If you application is Denied a time frame will be placed after which you may reapply. Acknowledgement of Declaration: Yes Basics: - Name on Database: Frank Callsign: K12W Rank: Senior Constable Age: 21 Questionnaire: - Why do you want to join the Altis Police Department Academy (100 words min)?: The reason I want to join Academy is that I want to have a variety of things I can put my time towards in the police force. I feel Academy would be a good next step for me as I enjoy assisting new players and up-n-coming people and molding them into great cops. I've done a few induction training's and its great to see how people progress from that point. With my age and in real life experience I feel I can bring a new aspect to the team. I have had a couple of people mention to me that Academy is a good next step for me. What can you bring to the Academy? (50 words min)?: As most of the command will know my real life job is a Police Dispatcher, I deal with multiple different situations and sometimes take the emergency 111 (equivalent of 000 calls) and help a lot of different people in different situations. I think that the Academy is a team and the team will have all sorts of problems from in-game to real life and I feel I can bring good perspective and knowledge to the team. Do you wish to work in Enlistment or Training? Why? (50 words min)?: Since I have become a Senior Constable I have enjoyed doing watching/learning how to do inductions and then actually completing them myself. The pride you feel when one of your newbies is advancing well and improving as a cop is a good feeling and I would like to replicate that more with enlistment and training. How much time can you dedicate to the Altis Police Department?: Usually when I am working I work 6 days on 4 days off - During the 6 days I am on at all random times of the day and night so I can bring around the clock assistance to the academy and on my days off I will spend most of my time playing on cop/doing what I can to improve it as a whole. Have you ever been the subject of Disciplinary Action within the APD? If so when and why? I have had a warning for patting down someone outside of a police station, this was when I was very new to the force and hasn't happened since. Conclusion: - Have you read the Altis Police Department Protocols?: Yes Have you read the Altis Police Department Academy Staff Guidelines?: Yes Do you acknowledge that by partaking in illegal or 'Rebel' activities you do not have the right to apply for Speciality Divisions within the APD such as SRT, POLAIR, Detectives and The Police Academy: Yes @Slep.

Name: Jack Fire Callsign: K02W Rank: Leading Senior Constable Training Completed By: Smokey + Phantom Why do you deserve a promotion? I feel as though I have a large amount of experience which could benefit the PD, along with a dedication to the police force and a large input to many projects in the distant past and the more recent past. For example, in Strayagaming I have: Been a member of the APD command team for a long tenure Founded Intelligence (Now "Detectives") Head of POLAIR over 6 months Played as SRT Founded Federal Prosecution Service (and wrote Judicial Guidelines) Played for over 500 hours on cop Wrote many guidelines, some of which remain the basis for modern documents Produced many advisory documents such as the drone guide More recently I have ran the Federal Prosecution Service (and introduced more changes to the Judicial Guidelines) and still remaining active despite the proximity of my HSC examinations. I have also spent much of my time on GD and have been of assistance in many tactical situations. I feel as a Sergeant I can better pass on the experience I have as far as tactical gameplay, police procedures, knowledge of the Altis legal system and much more. I also feel as I can better display my ability to command in tough situations in order to get a positive result for the APD. I also feel that my long-term commitment to the PD despite my pretty atrocious demotions demonstrates that trust can be placed in me. (Recently I have a very clean record as far as I am aware) Who would recommend you for a promotion? @Bow @Nathan @Hope @nclem @Axle_Tiaky @Daywalker @DyNaMiiC.dFuZR @_jp94 @maderboy @Sam01 @Mr Miller @Brodie

Name: Frank Callsign: K12W Rank: Senior Constable Training Completed By: @Fusionable Why do you deserve a promotion? (50 Words min) I am a dedicated officer of the APD, I am on most days and spend a lot of time on the server. I am doing my best to suggest things and have shown that I am passionate on making the force better. I have shown I am a good commanding officer and feel like if I am a sergeant I can help others improve and make the communications/flow of the force a lot better. Who would recommend you for a promotion? @nclem @Jebediha Shepard @Daywalker @warlock @Excel @DyNaMiiC.dFuZR @Fusionable @McCain

The current police checkpoint 1 is outside city limits and is therefore never actually manned by police. It is a cop asset that is not used by the cops and is a central place for crime outside Sydney limits. I believe and many others probably agree that police checkpoint 1 should be moved into city limits or city limits should be extended to police checkpoint 1 so that it becomes useful again.

@Rory That new checkpoint looks great. It also makes it a bit easier for police officers to defend from attacks with the walls surrounding the whole thing.

@Rory Really nice idea, encourages people to go through the checkpoint to access the gas station too.

Can we cut down on the responses saying "Yes" or "+1" and give a constructive response to this topic. I am interested to see what people think of this topic and how they would like to see it, with the reasons they would like it like that. I do agree with the responses that the CP is not being used as they may be intended or by police officers, I see it more being manned by rebels or small gangs to create an ambush for small groups entering and leaving Sydney. I would love to see it being used for RBT's, vehicle checks, etc by the police officers again. The reason I would say that police do not man it is the immediate threat of rebels, they are sitting outside of the city limits, meaning that there are no rule restrictions that prevent a group using the rebel gear at this location.

clearly you have not tried the new AOs being tested on the tanoa server lul, not boring at all

I also stream daily during the holidays. Come and chill with me while I play this rage inducing game called Getting Over It. I hate my life. https://www.twitch.tv/tommoslla

I understand where your point of bank situations and detrimental positions where you are not willing to risk jail time for the gear or items you have on you. Under this circumstance this is the reason the APD use knockdowns or tasers in situations where a highly wanted criminal or a suspect performing illegal activity is outnumbered, allowing us to easily disable the criminal with a couple tasers. Obviously in the involvement of "One Shot, One Taze" this is obviously a bit glitchy allowing the suspect a bit of lenience or luck involved. Some tazer rounds won't register, especially knockdowns. But yes in the circumstance that officers are using knockdowns or tasers is most likely in a situation of evading or high individual criminal activity. Commonly it's the luck of the draw whether it's you or your gang member that gets tazed in a bank. Sergeant | Fusionable | Junior Academy Officer

Ever heard of VLR ?

An APD officer always aims to take the suspect alive. The job of APD is to save lives, not take them. If you're getting so salty over being arrested, then stop being a crim and we won't taze or knock you down. Simple.

All officers I know use lethals when a fed bank is being robbed. Even recruits and prob. constables get lethals because the situation requires it. Speaking of the VLR, how can you argue that you would rather be shot than tazed if you care so much about that rule. Lol? That is the situation, there is an escalation graph the APD follows. Officers do not use lethals unless the situation requires it. I agree, however, the only people who would not use lethals in this situation would be recruits and last time I checked neither myself or you want someone who just joined the police force with no experience whatsoever handling a weapon that can take your life. Would be interesting to see what would happen if you got your way, I know damn well there would be another forum post with the title "RECRUITS SHOULD NOT HAVE LETHALS!" Although I respect your opinion, you know there is no other solution to this issue.

I mean if ya want Tasers removed people gonna be mad that when they enter a situation outside or even inside city limits they will be KOS instead of knocked down or tased think of it this way you want it removed so you don't have to get tased or knocked down so you pretty much get 10 seconds for you buddy to help you plus the escort time n you calling out? If that's removed then um your dead there goes your gear an you wont be able to get ya mate to get it because as soon as he goes for it bang his dead... but at the end of the day its a role-play server not wasteland or I&A where ya just KOS the taser and knockdowns are there because if they wasn't there would be no RP for cops half the system revolves around the taser n knockdowns because of processing and jail time?? I agree they are a pain in the ass but at the end of the day its RP n there jobs aint to kill everyone like rebels n other factions do.

Maybe don't completely remove them but remove them from being used in certain situations, for example: If the APD are responding to Federal Reserve only lethal should be used; if an officer goes into Federal Reserve with only a TASER isn't that some what breaking the Value Life Rule? because I know for a fact that if you were put into this situation and it meant life or death you'd not go in using a taser you'd go in with something that you can actually defend yourself with. Maybe even make it that if you're in high populated city's (Melbourne, Sydney, etc) the only fire arm used is a taser for the civilians safety, unless the situation becomes out of hand. What I'm basically trying to say is if YOUR life is at risk by going into an area where it's more than likely you're going to be involved in a shootout with high tier rebels that you should defend yourself with a lethal instead of a little taser which puts your life in danger (to a degree).

Whether you like it or not tasers nor knockdowns will not be removed. How are you going to send people to jail process wanted crimiinals if there are no tasers do you except them to listen to you when you say stop running? haha what are you going to use to stop them, lethals? Didn't think so.

I'll save you all the trouble and post this now, just the first ~30sec will do Battlefield 1942 Main Theme Either that or the BF2142 Wake Island Theme, again the first ~30sec will be fine.

Taser Guns are bs, they can knock down a person with one shot up to probs 50m, it literally requires no skill at all. Put the gun in full auto and spray until you got one shot into a guy that has full armour and clothing which then the guy is hope less. This happened in a bank and it pissed me off, it is absolutely not a role play gun because with actual lethal's you have a chance but some pub slot with a taser gun can be a god on the battlefield. I propose to at least remove them from bank situations which bringing a taser to a bank is not realistic.

I'll change it so you can only take controls if above a certain altitude
