November 2019 - November 2021

For those who wish to know more about how their own organisation did over the past two years or for those who are merely interested in learning about the activity state of organisations on SAES, here's a detailed list of squads and gangs who have been awarded the "most active gang/squad" status as well as records made related to amounts of active members.

Stats collected range from the earliest accessible period which is November 2019, up to the most recent monthly GM results (November 2021). Because of large amounts of gangs and squads that still are or are no longer present in our community today; the listing only includes organisations which were in the top three of any category displayed below. Organisations that no longer exist were not included.

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.

Hello!

I'd like to bring attention to ever forgotten and equally useless vehicle, the Enforcer.
About a year ago I suggested some changes to health or projectile resistance to make this slow vehicle somewhat useful, while that suggestion never made it through I came up with this one; higher number of possible players in the vehicle, increased passenger limit.

Even something as simple as /cargrab but with players appearing on the inside of the vehicle, or DE style command for sitting in the back of the Barracks would do the trick. Since glue is now nonexistent, it seems like a great time to give Enforcer the function that it was designed for - Transport!

It looks too cool to be left so useless!

SAPA-SAPD Regulations (OUTDATED):

As of November 2019, recruitment of PC Testers as well as management of existent PC testers will from now be handled by SAPD HQ exclusively. SAPA membership is no longer a requirement. All SAPA-SAPD info in the spoiler below is no longer applicable.

:::

SAPA maintains sovereign management and decision rights over daily procedures including but not limited to: manner of testing, choice of instructors, time required before becoming eligible for PC testing, design and issue of internal ranking structures, choice of trainings and other matters related to daily experience of a SAPA cadet and the academy operating as whole.
SAPA designed tests which are classed as mandatory for becoming eligible for taking PC test must first be approved by SAPD/PC HQ. Current tests (Entry, DD, HD, PC) are all by default considered valid, this concerns tests that might be made in the future.
SAPA PC Testers must first be approved by SAPD/PC HQ before assuming position of PC Tester within SAPA. This is the only function within SAPA that PC HQ has a say in, all other functions are granted and fulfilled as decided by internal SAPA management and are not directly related to PC.
SAPA maintains the rights to answering SAPA applications according to their own standards and may accept or deny applicants based on their own regulations. SAPA may not deny/blacklist/ban or reject applications in any way that would permanently make the applicant unable to gain access to SAPA and PC. Applicants should not be be made to wait for period longer than thirty (30) days prior to being allowed to post an application again.
Should an applicant receive denied status two (2) times in their SAPA application and feel that the negative answer was for some reason invalid, unfair or else; they may request PCD examination of their application. In case that errors are indeed found by PCD department, they will be forwarded to and resolved by SAPD HQ.
SAPA and PC tests must be followed to the letter; any anomalies, mistakes, improvisations or errors spotted to have been occurring during systematic acquiral of PC diploma both during SAPA educational tests and PC entry tests will render the tested player unable to obtain the PC diploma until aforementioned violations are corrected to proper standards. Tester/instructor which was responsible for issuing inadequate sessions will be held accountable.
SAPD/PC HQ maintains rights to testing and inviting players to PC based on their own observation and regulations, regardless of whether or not the player took part of SAPA programme and overall success/failure during that period. This is however uncommon and will happen rarely, if ever.
Persons affiliated to gangs or criminal organizations are not permitted entrance to either SAPA or PC and will not be considered until leaving aforementioned gangs/organizations.

:::

PC Rules Update and Clarification (VALID):

PC members are able to use PC spawn in order to quickly respond to nearby bank robbery. This includes both players that are or are not currently member of a squad. Squad members are now allowed to spawn Trainee/Trooper in order to reach BR faster, whether they be PC or not. Misbehaving while spawned as non-pc Police member may still lead to getting kicked from PC.
Any cases of violation of PC rules by PC members must be passed directly to PCD personnel and not handled by present staff/admin, unless simultaneously in violation of server rules, interrupting gameplay and/or granting advantage to one player over others; in which case the situation should be related to PCD after staff/admin imposed sanctions on the player in question.
PC members are allowed to execute role of K-9 dog handler while not using default PC spawns, including but not limited to: Squad, State Trooper, SAI, HLS etc. They are however not allowed to do so with any spawn not classed as police team spawn (e.g. criminal, civilian…).
PC dog class spawned players must not travel, act or engage criminals on their own and must be instructed by their handler according to the situation. In case that the handler is killed in action, the dog must remain in same position until the handler arrives to collect it; unless actively partaking in ongoing combat based on commands previously issued by the handler, or acting in self defense. Dogs can only be transported using the back seat of four door vehicles, they may not travel on top of cars/bikes or “lay in trunks”.
Prison Wardens serve the sole purpose of guarding the prison and may not gain major distance between themselves and the prison area unless actively chasing a fleeing suspect. Upon return to common duties not related to prison, wardens must select another spawn at the nearest disk. They are not allowed to partake in operations that are not tied to security of inner prison and its surrounding areas. Wardens may remain within the prison for unlimited time.

On Behalf of SAPD HQ,

July 2020 PC Tester Recruitment Results & PCD Closure Announcement

.

PC Tester Recruitment Results:

Congratulations to following candidates who successfully passed the application phase!

@SAFP-Stone
@bas260
@Pika

If your name is on the list of future PC testers, await further instructions in SAPD Discord.

PCD - Police Complaints Department will from this day on cease to exist. All cases of investigation and PC reports will henceforth be handled by the PC Testers team in addition to their existent tasks.

Changes made will be reviewed after a period of observation and based on gathered information may remain, be adjusted or fully reverted.

- SAPD HQ

Here's a suggestion which comes with support of combined squad HQ's. Please do not fall for the usual "cops vs. crims" crap and vote against it just because you are a cop. That aside, here is the suggestion:

Reduce jail time from 7 to 5 minutes.

Nobody ejoys spending 7 minutes of their gaming time staring at the wall and I think that we can all agree on that. This leads people to alt-tab or AFK, they go around their business instead or perhaps launch a different game, sometimes they do not bother coming back to play at all for a while.

Server activity decreases, more people are AFK and less players are on the streets to actually play the game.
This is not good for anyone, be you criminal or cop.

PC Tester Recruitment Results:

Congratulations to following candidates who successfully passed the application phase!

@Terry
@JohnnyEnglish
@Ramby
@Ramos
@Shadro

If your name is on the list of future PC testers, await further instructions in SAPD Discord.

PCD - Police Complaints Department recruitment is ongoing! Apply here:
https://saesrpg.uk/topic/13240/police-complaints-department-recruitment-2019
PCD is now considered the second branch of [SAPD Staff] which consists of PC Testers and PCD detectives. PCD is no longer an independent department. Adjustments to PCD rules are likely to occur, granting PCD personnel more freedom. Additionally, PCD members are more likely to be selected as future PC testers/SAPD HQ than an average policeman would be.
All current PCD detectives are dismissed from service. If active, you may re-apply following the link above.

Changes made will be reviewed after a period of observation and based on gathered information may remain, be adjusted or fully reverted.

Hello boys!

As we all already know, PC (procop) is a group for experienced police team players which offers a few perks unavailable to trainees, troopers or even squads. While having a whole array of scripts made for it, very few of them are being used by players because A) Most of them are for roleplay They are outdated.

One such spawn is Police Dog. It is not able to arrest players in any way, must remain with its handler at all times and follow its instructions, is able to run at speed faster than humans and has only one ability: Slow.
Dog's slowing effect is the same effect that shotgun has, which is entirely useless now that every cop comes equipped with a shotgun. So why would anyone want to spawn dog if they can spawn as regular cop, and be able to slow people just like dog does but also arrest them, right?

What I am suggesting is making the dog bite have "crying" effect on wanted players, like tear gas does, but for a short moment.

This would hopefully encourage cops to try and use new tactics that include dogs, which could then potentially make both criminal and police gameplay more diverse and interesting. Keep in mind that dogs are still unable to arrest or even damage criminals and that this would bring no real advantage to police team, furthermore; dog spawn is available only to players with PC group membership so don't expect seeing many of them, if any at all.

Please share your thoughts below if you've any!

I think that I speak on behalf of most cop players when I say that we don't want more money, we don't want it to be easier to arrest criminals, we don't want a faster car or change of rules to make our gameplay easier. Will some people be happy if those things happened? Sure. Would cops become more active? No. Something that becomes clear after only a few days of playing as a cop is that your experience is very limited. Some people tend to say that cops can attend all the criminal activities and that both sides have access to same variety of choices.

This is absolutely untrue, let us take BR for example; yes it is true that both criminals and cops get to take part of BR, however criminals decide where and when, they choose their team before the start, they assign crackers, they organize defenses, they collect money and deliver it somewhere. What do cops do at BR in comparison? They show up and arrest people.
When there's a jailbreak, criminal has to operate the gates and organize defense as well as a way to get out. Cops on the other hand do the same what they did in BR, they show up and arrest people. A turf war is happening between two gangs, they're spraying grafitti and taking control of the area, they take multiple areas of the map and compete for map domination. Meanwhile, cops once again show up and arrest people. This pattern happens everywhere else, whatever the situation might be the cop player will always do the same thing, no matter where he goes.

For as long as cop gameplay is so limited and repetitive, people will get bored of it and go inactive. You won't get them active by giving them more money, weapons or cars, bringing new content to criminals then saying "cops can come to arrest at this new place too" doesn't make it new content for cops. Cops are treated as NPCs which are there only to respond to whatever criminals do. Until there are some serious changes made to cop gameplay rather than changes to cop/crim balance, people will find the experience boring because it really is boring.

DROT

I'll try to sum it up real quick.

Secondary languages rules need to be updated, ok
Both of adminjails you're talking about are valid. You're not allowed to shoot/try to arrest other cops because they accidentally hit you with their car while running on the road. The point about not knowing it was a police member is hard to believe since they were in a police car. Shooting unwanted people isn't allowed either, SRs included unless they're selling. If you think that someone is breaking the rules by assisting criminals at SR and avoiding stars, use the /report fuction instead of breaking the rules yourself.
People badmouthing other people is nothing uncommon, either man up or use /ignore. Do you expect us to add the 11th rule, "Don't talk bad things about ICE"? If your members are leaving just because someone told them that ICE is a bad squad, you should try finding more loyal members. The more you respond the happier people will be to try and push your buttons.

October 2019 PC Rules Update

Modern times require modern measures and in order to further encourage activity of PC personnel based on preferences of today, some changes were made to existent rules.

PC members are no longer required to offer roleplay during car chases before attempting arrest. Instead they're required to issue two warnings before engaging, describing clear intention of arrest as well as command to surrender (/sur). If the suspect stops, they must be given time to surrender before the arrest, to get 75% off prison time for cooperation. Roleplay is encouraged but is not mandatory.
Dog handler role may now be executed by any police member on police or squad team. Player using the dog spawn is responsible for following the PC rules related to dog spawn and is held responsible for any errors. Handler is no longer required to have PC diploma.

Changes made will be reviewed after a period of observation and based on gathered information may remain, be adjusted or fully reverted.

take our nightstick while you are at it too

In-game name: DROT
Username: milicajac
Age: 21
Nationality: Croatian
Previous bans/punishments: I was banned for shooting off the roof of SF CC, it is impossible to take damage up there. I did not know this at the time.
Why you think you would be suitable for the role: I am a rather bored guy with plenty of free time on my hands, hence I'm more active on MTA than might generally be considered healthy. Fortunately this bore me some knowledge about overall state of things on the server, I've met plenty of people (mostly on the other end of the nightstick, but that is irrelevant) and had quarrel with none. Except for my squad and one active group, I am not a member of anything else and this leaves me with free time I'd like to spend doing something helpful. Time zones can be a real nuisance with as wide variety of players that SAES has and since I'm often a late night player, that could come handy as well!

DROT

@kawaii said in kill-arrest:

Also,the main problem is not in the performance, the new system completely kills the usual gameplay dynamics.

Ahh yes... Those gameplay dynamics which include police shooting criminals even though it didn't arrest them back then, merely because it's borderline impossible to run with a nightstick down the jail hallway or through bank entry.

People were and still will be shooting you because the only other option is running en masse like sheep to the slaughter towards camping crims. It's just that you'd like to get an easy way out by teleporting to the hospital.

DROT

Stealing someone's unlocked car is not rulebreaking.
Shooting your own car that was stolen by someone else is not rulebreaking.
CDC members acting like 12yos is not something unusual, but also not rulebreaking.
Overall, people could be a bit more polite and less retarded in general but this is SAES and it's likely not possible.

DROT

Essential rights violation? wat
You gave away something willingly and have no right to demand it back.
It may be morally wrong from your perspective but that's all there is to it.
