I'm not so sure that someone calling the police after a shooting would always be able to give an exact location, makes more sense that a general area would be given rather than the exact spot being correct 100% of the time. I agree with @richarddiaspoint in regards to certain areas naturally being on higher alert. However, I think that rather than looking to change the way alerts are done based on the area a crime is committed it should be random. It's probably a lot easier to implement that way too.
I just want it to be fair. I agree with most of what you have said though regarding gang fights. This suggestion is based on my personal experiences and beliefs about how we could improve things to make them more enjoyable for the criminal groups and even the police. If I was a CID officer(s) responding to one of these dispatches and had to search to pin point the exact shooting location or murder victim I feel it'd be a lot more rewarding and enjoyable. I also think it'd be a lot more enjoyable from a criminal perspective knowing that there's a degree of chance as to whether the police are going to be straight on you or are actively searching you out and investigating. Currently the gameplay loop regarding these incidents is: get a shooting alert instantly a shot is fired, set a gps to the exact location it occurred, arrive, search anyone within 100m, scoop up bodies and search/move bodies to Hospital. That to me doesn't sound particularly engaging or rewarding for either side.
Not sure about the delay, I think if any delay, 2-5 is probably too long - could shoot in the city and be in Paleto by the time Police get the dispatch
+1 but I think 5 minutes would be a bit too long, a delay of 30 sec to 2 mins seems more realistic.
It then ultimately gives a sense of danger as the one shooting as you could get unlucky and get a quick response, but 2 minutes is a huge window to shoot, do whatever and leave.
+1 i would say a 30 seconds to 1 min should be enough time and if police are close to the shooting then they can go and find it and wait till they get a dispatch to get the exact location
Thank you for taking the time to make this suggestion.
Unfortunately, I am going to be rejecting this suggestion for the following reason(s):
A lot of time has passed since this suggestion was made, and the server has changed a lot since then, so feedback from the current player base would be ideal.
Rejection does not always mean we would not consider the idea in future, so if you or anyone else disagrees and believes this would be a good idea, please feel free to make a new suggestion to gauge further community feedback.
