Equipment
All Police Officers carry equipment that is used to help them in their role. Some officers carry specialist equipment that is not available to regular PCs; such as AFO (Authorised Firearm Officers) who carry firearms for the most dangerous situations.
All Officers are taser trained.
Remember, this guide is for best case scenarios only. In reality there are situations that can not be accounted for.
In life or death situations, if an officer believes that they, or someone else is going to be killed if action is not taken, anything goes.
Do not be afraid to use your equipment in ways that are not listed below.
If you can defend your actions to your superior, moderators, and colleagues there would never be an issue.
Props
Props such as traffic signs and cones can be used by any emergency service from the F5 menu whilst on foot. You will be trained on how to properly utilise your props menu whilst active as your desired division.
Make sure you use all props responsibly. You must use the Delete Item option at the bottom of the prop menu when you are leaving the scene to ensure you have not left anything behind.
