I don't see why all banks would need to be at a similar distance from the nearby hospital. There are six banks in total. If you do not fancy one, there are five others to choose from.

@crash Same as in case of any other event of collateral damage, such as criminals killing each other with grenades while trying to damage a cop, it depends on the situation and whether it was intentional, careless or accidental.

Cops are not allowed to attack/damage planes which contain only unwanted players, doing so would be deathmatch. In cases where there are wanted players on board, damaging and destroying the vehicle through any means is allowed. Consider not taking any wanted players aboard the plane to prevent getting attacked, or use different means of transport. The vehicle itself will not receive any special protection through creation of new rules just because it is frequently used for reaching BRs.

It is not currently in our interest to make BR, of which regrouping is a part of, any more difficult than it is at this time.

S.W.A.T. Academy Recruitment - 2021 4th Generation Thinking about joining SWAT? Well from this moment onwards you will be able to attempt doing just that through an entirely different method! We will no longer require you to write a long application, instead; you will be evaluated based purely on your ingame skills and behaviour. While similar in overall theme, this generation of SWAT cadets will be met with a different Academy. An improved yet simplified experience. Steps: 1) Player interested in joining SWAT expresses his interest in SWAT Discord server, https://discord.gg/eDgGESGj4g (read rules channel for details on how to express your interest) 2) A representative of SWAT Management Branch will contact you via PM to arrange your entry to the academy. 3) You're now a cadet. Cadets will be granted access to "SWAT Cadet" spawn. 4) After 2 weeks you will be voted on by established members of SWAT. 5) If you are voted in, you're now one test away from being part of SWAT! If you weren't, you may be offered to undergo additional 2 weeks of academy course until the next vote, or be denied entirely for the time being/permanently. Receiving Cadet spawn will mean that you're now part of SWAT squad panel, this does not however remotely mean that you are part of SWAT itself. This is only a means for us to experience more of what you can offer, more readily, than we'd be able to see if you were using a different spawn. As well as a first-hand insight for you as to what the squad that you're trying to join is really about, this is as close as it gets to being a SWAT member without actually being one. Recruitment in SWAT is done democratically. This means that you will need to impress existent SWAT members if you hope to have them vote in favour of your acceptance to the squad. One day you may potentially be casting a vote yourself when it comes to future cadets. Until then, do your best to be seen as an efficient police officer. ~[Receiving an adminjail or a ban will see you suspended from the academy for a minimum of 30 days.]~(red)

Every gang or squad has access to a list of punishments issued to their members. As soon as one of their members is adminjailed, the information is available to them.

The topic will remain active for the next 4 days. If you have not yet commented and intended to do so at some point, please do as soon as possible. All comments are and were taken into consideration, and we are more than satisfied with the vast amount of feedback!

How do those gangs prevent others from taking turf zones besides by defending them, which is a feature of turfing? Resetting zones to no owner would just see the zones once again claimed within a day and we'd be in an identical situation.

To clarify one more time, this is not a suggestions topic. We're only interested in hearing about why you're not a cop. For any suggestions, please head to appropriate forum section. Also thanks to everyone so far for sharing their reasoning with us.

It's widely known that the police team has seen a decrease in numbers over the years, and in an effort to potentially better understand the causes behind the issue in order to choose adequate solutions, we ask you the following question: Why are you not a cop? Or rather, why are you a criminal instead? There are many people and many reasons, what is yours? We're not asking what you think should be done about this problem, or what you think why other people don't play as cops, why do YOU personally choose to be a criminal instead? Perhaps it is something unique and positive about the criminal side or something negative about the police one. Maybe it about the players, a combination of many things or something entirely different. Even if it's not something that you think we can affect or was already said by someone else, your comment may provide us with valuable information. Whichever your personal reason may be, please let us know in a comment below.

March 2021 General Police Updates Recount ~[.]~(black) New activity was added for the police team, Money Transporter. Players are now able to select the new spawns and deliver armored vehicles between banks for profit. However, criminals may attempt to kill the driver and steal the truck. On the other hand, police officers in the proximity of the truck will receive payment for escorting it to safety. In order for a bank robbery to be started, at least ten squad members or HLS agents are required to be online and active. Previously any police spawns were taken into account which resulted in frequent manipulation of the system. PBR requirements remain the same as they were. All squad members are now visible to each other on the map. This should allow for easier orientation and cooperation between different squads. One vehicle wrap per squad will be permitted to all squads lvl 3+, Used to low variation of police vehicles and limited customization options, squads can now appear more visually unique by using one custom wrap on any amount of squad vehicles in their possession. Enforcer wrap template is now available. - SAPD HQ

@Ranger11 On behalf of S.W.A.T. HQ, I'd like to personally thank you for your interest in becoming part of our organization. Unfortunately, you have copied the entire RP section from another person's application. Given that you'd rather steal another person's work than invest effort on your own, we've no option but to deny you the opportunity to join our squad. Application Status: ~[DENIED]~(red) Please don't post anything related to your result under this topic. - SWAT HQ

Marker protection disappears once weapons are used by the person who's entering, that was included in the last change. If it doesn't work that way then something went wrong.

@velona said in BR issue: claiming banks Who even came up with this? First gang to start the robbery gets the robbery, what's this idea of bank "reservations"?

November 2020 PC Tester Recruitment Results & Recent Additions ~[.]~(black) Congratulations to following candidates who successfully passed the application phase! @Rocoso @Anas_ If your name is on the list of future PC testers, await further instructions in SAPD Discord. Additional entry markers were added to SF and LV banks, allowing for easier access to law enforcement when entering the first room (lobby). - SAPD HQ

Terminated.

Unless your property comes with a helipad, airstrip or something of the sort; aircrafts are limited to airports and bases. If you come across illegally placed aircrafts, feel free to make a report and the location will be reviewed as soon as possible.

There would be no need for rule nor waste of manpower for enforcement of the same; if marker protection was implemented to all markers. That is, if it comes paired with a cooldown that would be preventing people from entering and existing the marker repeatedly to abuse the protection, that happens often enough at jail without the said cooldown. Although the invulnerability script is too incompetent and unlikely to keep you alive when receiving large amounts of damage as seen at jail, it should do just fine at places like shops; again, if paired with a marker entry cooldown.

Squad bases already have tanks inside and have no limit on how many of those they can own, dvm cooldown would hardly affect that. As for the tank in the image, report/remove it as it obviously shouldn't be there.

You're not allowed to have a SWAT tank or similar vehicles at a private property, so there can not be tanks owned by players around bank or jail area. Therefore, they can't be "abused" and repeatedly respawned as claimed in the suggestion.
