[SAPA] How to join

[Tut]

Application format
An application is the first stage of the recruitment. This is where we get to know more about you, your experience and knowledge of SAPA and the server.
If application receives a pending stamp, we'll proceed to ingame test which is convenient for most applicants and does not involve any intense testing. Sit back and relax, we don't fail you for asking questions or not knowing a certain procedure.

Note: Post application on a new topic here: https://saesrpg.uk/category/184/application-section

TO APPLY SUCCESSFULLY YOU HAVE TO READ THE 10 RULES.

Write answers in full sentences. Answers with yes or no are automatically treated like unanswered. Simply copy the format and start a new topic. For our laws (rules), check the bottom of the text.
You're better off not reading others applications, it will only delay your own application and cause confusion as to how a perfect application should be written. Instead please invest your time into reading the 10 laws and answer from your own perspective.

Application rules :
==> When writing your application, DO NOT COPY any other application, or you'll be denied.
==> Try to use 2 full lines for each rule in part 2.
==> Topic title must be like this "YourName's SAPA application"
==> Please respect the application format as it is, no custom fonts, no custom colors, nothing should change.
==> Applicant has 7 days following the pending stamp to receive a test, otherwise it'll be treated abandoned and receive a denial.
If you're willing to learn, you must learn respect first, that is how it works.
Questions in bold, as they already are, and answers should be normal, no bold no nothing.
That's to make it easier to read and check your application, it also gives you more chances of being accepted.

~[The 10 SAPA Rules]~(orange)
Print them NOW! You must know these rules at all times.
If rules have been violated, instructors will refer to the disciplinary procedure, noted on the instructor sub-forum.

~[1.]~(orange)

Don't break the server rules
Press ingame F1 and read the rules.
Do not deathMatch other players. That includes killing using a vehicle.
Do not rage or insult in the mainChat.

~[2.]~(orange)

Don't break the SAPA/PC rules
Check the PC Rules!
Stay professional! You are SAPA now! Not a trainee that whines about everything!
Try to roleplay as you were a real police officer/cadet all the time!

~[3.]~(orange)

Don't attempt to arrest players that got a wanted level of 0, 1, 2 or 3.
Ignore these players, as long as they don't give you a reason to arrest them.
You can offer them a roleplay so they can lose their wanted level. If they don't want to do it, ignore them, as long as they don't give you a reason to arrest them.
Don't arrest players that are spawned as police.
If someone is not willing to end the chase with a roleplay, you can arrest him.
If there is no way to arrest a wanted person (e.g. when he is sniping from a tall building) you are allowed to kill him.
Don't arrest at hospitals or events!
If someone tries to avoid an arrest by running in an event, place a marker on them and wait for the end of the event.

~[4.]~(orange)

Whenever you start to chase a wanted person, offer RP first before you attempt to arrest
Don't care about the wanted level! You have to RP with everyone first!
If a person is not cooperating, warn him, that you will force him to stop, if he doesn't do it, BEFORE you start to do it!
Don't spam your binds!
Give him a last warning, before you start shooting, and wait for reaction first

~[5.]~(orange)

Give the suspects reaction time of at least 10 seconds
Keep in mind, that they cannot read the chat all the time while a chase! They need some time to read it, and more time to decide, if they want to cooperate or not. Give them this time!

~[6.]~(orange)

Patrol and partner regulations.
If you're a 4th or 3rd Class Cadet ( SAPA**** or SAPA*** ), you're absolutely not allowed to patrol alone.
In case you have already spent two weeks ( SAPA** ), you will be allowed to patrol alone, Only and ONLY if you cannot find a cadet partner. That means, there should be in NO CASE, more than 1 cadet patrolling alone.
If you are caught rulebreaking while alone, you'll be heavily punished, another probation star will be added to your count.
If you're PC, you're completely free to patrol alone, but it's always recommanded to have a partner to assist you, in car pursuits for example.
Cadets who has finished 1x mandatory training or DD lesson are allowed to spawn as Warden trainee, Police officer trainee, State trooper and Official squad spawn.

~[7.]~(orange)

Learn to follow - before you start to lead
Respect higher ranks. They got their rank for a reason!
Respond immediately to their orders and questions.
Say "Yes Sir! / No Sir!"; play your role as Cadet - and everyone will respect you!
Don't act like retard while trainings, briefings etc.!
Also respect all the other players on SAES!

~[8.]~(orange)

Always wear your SAPA tags, even when not spawned as SAPA.
Once you got invited to SAPA wear this tag: SAPA****|YourNickName
Your rank is your name, like: SAPA|YourNickName|PVT*
You will lose one education star after every 1 week! One week longer for every received warning - Ask an instructor before you remove an education star!
Before you ask an instructor to remove an education star, make sure that you got all the requirements (Did you complete all tasks of the welcome script, example given?)

~[9.]~(orange)

Read the Welcome Script at our forum and get your binds
Don't leave the SAPA base before you have read the welcome script!
Don't leave the SAPA base before you have got your binds!
Before you start patroling with a partner, etc., show your RP binds to a SGT or higher ranked member! The instructor must leave a note at the MOTD and on the NEWS on the forum, that you did it!

~[10.]~(orange)

Do not create new topics inside the main forum unless given permission by the Leader or the Vice Leader.
This is to keep the forum clean, organised and ensure that it's spam-free. if you need to create a new topic, send a PM to @Royalty or any other HQ member to request permission, this rule applies to all ranks. You may create your cadet profile in the education section if you are a cadet.
In case you have been in SAPA before and have been re-invited, do not make a new cadet profile but request a SAPA forum administrator to move your old cadet profile back.

Wishing you the best of luck,
