I even know some one thats going from probie stage right the way to firearms and the guys been in the force 5 minutes so do we get fire arms training with every tornado or something?
that's simply not feasibly possible
takes 1 week to get out of the probie stage, takes another(atleast) before you apply for FTOC, you then have to wait for FTOCs(varies when they happen, based on how active trainers are) you then have to apply for firearms, do ride alongs(which honestly will probably take you atleast 2 weeks before you're sure you have enough "positive" feedback) then you have to hope you get accepted(which isn't certain, and dependent on how full firearms are) and then do the training for it
FIRE ARMS ARE RESPONDING TO DRUG DEALS how more simpler do you want it?
they are doing their job then, police are allowed to attend any situation they want(excluding CID work ofc.) no matter their gear, obviously it should be preferred non firearms go to it, but if nothing else is happening, what's to stop them?
there was no shots fired there was nothing to indicate it was me for them to shit them selfs and call for back up.
Backup could've been called simply because there was alot of gang members, not because you "might" be there
If police understood being dicks and rocking up to 90% of crime with the intentions of shutting the show down then your going to be met with people resisting,
Police are aware crims are gonna be dicks and resist, that kinda the whole point of them
they've already made a plan because the behaviour pf the police is already expected, the level of RP is already set low from the start.
just because you believe that the RP you get provided from police is poor, does not mean you should also provide lackluster RP, be better, if you are, you have a fair reason to complain
but you also can't complain about poor RP or low RP standards if you, yourself decide to go as low or lower because of it, then you're no better yourself unfortunately.
The end of the day firearms officers don't need to be responding to drug dealers or shop thefts because they're bored,
entire gangs don't need to appear at a traffic stop for window tints(i'm not stopping you from keeping a eye just in case to be clear, but i hope you get my point), it brings nothing but rushed RP, you can and should say the same for certain police involved situations, as neither side is nor ever will be perfect and that's just a realistic way to look at it honestly.
there should be a system in place that dispatches PROPERLY so that feds are just all over the place. because out the station ranks are nothing, feds a fed they all do the same thing.
the dispatcher role already currently exists but is not used, if someone in police wanted to do it they could and should, but they don't, why would a whole new system make much more of a difference
this is why the police never gets altered because you get back up dancers covering the thread.
police actively gets altered, either short term or long term almost daily(sometimes closer to weekly, differs from time to time, etc. etc. etc.)
Not one HIGH ranking officer has even really took this seriously,
are you saying this because of no higher has replied to this thread or do you have proof that they don't take it serious?
Well every gang should present police with the same force,
sure, feel free, but the harsher you respond to police, the harsher they respond back, that's how it's always been
RP should stop when firearms rock up like it does anyway.
that's incorrect, RP should stop when you both leave the situation, no matter if that's you driving/running away, getting shot and abandoned(which does happen), or getting shot and treated and arrested, stopping RP because a person or a group of people appear is poor and shouldn't happen, no matter how much you dislike the person(s)
Defending police on a thread won't get you a promotion in game.
No need for the sly digs, doesn't help anything
Your clearly not reading the whole thread, if a gang is fighting another gang then by all means send in the hit squad but if you got two chaps selling coke they don't need spraying down by firearms its that simple maverick.
if this has happened before, "getting sprayed" by firearms for merely selling are you able to provide proof of such?
Response should be responding then calling for back up when the "risk assessment"
not everyone has the same risk assessment so only appearing for others people risk assessment means it can either A. be too late, or B. premature and we're back to what you're complaining about
they should be at the station waiting to deploy they're one of the most sought after spots in the force so to have to wait in between calls wouldn't be seen as being unfair as your already privileged,
no they should not, no one should ever "just" sit at PD doing nothing, not even CID do that.
as much as I appreciate the post and agree that some of your points are valid, you are also bringing up situations to "further" your side to favour you without providing any proof that it's true, anyone can do that, so it's always better to provide proof of it.
for anyone saying gun accessability is a issue, both yes and no, it was honestly easier to get guns back in the day(black market times, and ammunation for a bit i believe) but depending on circumstances it could also be easy to get guns now, as some people don't really seem to care who they sell guns to as long as they have enough money for it
if people think gun accessability is a issue make a new thread, keep this thread on topic for what it's for and keep it civil, otherwise we'll just lock the suggestion
Anything but the line right above this is my personal opinion and not that of staff, K thanks
