Policing: an in depth guide for beginners An introduction to Police RP So you wish to RP as a Police Officer? This extensive guide should give you a solid foundation to base all future police roleplay on the server. I will be basing this on British Policing due to knowing more about the subject than our US counterparts.

On the surface a Police Officers role is to do as the mayor tells you to and enforce the law however from an RP perspective there is much more to the story. If you are to truly get into the spirit of Police RP your role should be to adhere to the Peelian Principles; the foundations of policing. They are as follows: To prevent crime and disorder, as an alternative to their repression by military force and severity of legal punishment. To recognise always that the power of the police to fulfil their functions and duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behaviour, and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect. To recognise always that to secure and maintain the respect and approval of the public means also the securing of the willing co-operation of the public in the task of securing observance of laws. To recognise always that the extent to which the co-operation of the public can be secured diminishes proportionately the necessity of the use of physical force and compulsion for achieving police objectives. To seek and preserve public favour, not by pandering to public opinion, but by constantly demonstrating absolutely impartial service to law, in complete independence of policy, and without regard to the justice or injustice of the substance of individual laws, by ready offering of individual service and friendship to all members of the public without regard to their wealth or social standing, by ready exercise of courtesy and friendly good humour, and by ready offering of individual sacrifice in protecting and preserving life. To use physical force only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient to obtain public co-operation to an extent necessary to secure observance of law or to restore order, and to use only the minimum degree of physical force which is necessary on any particular occasion for achieving a police objective. To maintain at all times a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the police, the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence. To recognise always the need for strict adherence to police-executive functions, and to refrain from even seeming to usurp the powers of the judiciary, of avenging individuals or the State, and of authoritatively judging guilt and punishing the guilty. To recognise always that the test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, and not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with them. Those principles are the very essence of policing itself and if nothing else is taken away, allow those principles to make the foundation of your Police RP experience for your fun and enjoyment and other peoples. Powers of Policing Powers of Arrest As a Police Officer while roleplaying, no matter your particular role you must understand the powers you have at your disposal, for this you must first understand the Powers of arrest and grounds for an arrest. The obvious time to use your power of arrest goes without saying, though I will say it anyway, is when an offense is taking place, the second one however is rarley disused, this is to arrest for preventative measures, let us take a look at preventative measure by analyzing one of the laws. Let us start with the 3 default laws, more specifically law number one: You cannot attack civilians other than in self defense (paraphrasing.) As a Police RPer it is your duty to prevent people from breaking this rule. A big rule of Policing is that it is better to prevent things from happening rather than responding to them as it happens; in other words you must deter people from committing the offense in the first place. To prevent this from happening you can take several measure to prevent this, but you have to risk asses: Are they likely to commit the offence? Do they present an immediate danger? Is the the danger to the public? Is there a danger to yourself? This is three areas to consider on a basic level. An example would be you overhear a Hitman asking people to place hits on people. Under the 4 rules you can risk asses the situation: Are they likely to commit the offence/are they committing an offense? Yes, they have offered to break law 1 in exchange for money as an illegal service. Do they present an immediate danger? Yes, if they are offering to kill someone for money the likely have the means to do so e.g. A lethal weapon Is the the danger to others? Yes, their target could potentially be a member of the public, a member of Law Enforcement or a member of Government, to which they could also collaterally injured a passer by. Is there a danger to yourself? Yes, if they have the ability to injure or kill someone else they have the ability to injure or kill you. If you can answer yes three or more of those questions you have reasonable grounds for an arrest based on law 1. Not happy enough with just that list? Want something more realistic? For those of you who like RP to the more extreme end I am happy to tell you that under The Police and Criminal Evidence act 1984 section 24 there is more grounds for an arrest based on preventative measures. I have edited number 2 and 5 to be more in keeping with the rules. The list is as followed: Preventative Measures (Police and Criminal Evidence act 1984) You have reasonable grounds for an arrest if: - The person may cause injury to self or others - The person is suffering from self inflicted injury - The person is causing damage to property - The person is offending public decency - The person is causing obstruction NOTE: This has been edited for use in DarkRP Stop and Search The ability to perform stop and search is one of the most useful powers a Police RPer has at their disposal. The primary purpose of stop and search powers is to enable officers to allay or confirm suspicions about individuals without excising their power of arrest. It is often debated as what consists of reasonable grounds, the official line is that an officer my perform a stop and search if they have reasonable grounds to suspect an offense is taking place, however this is a bit vague in terms of description and it is on the onus of the officer to decide what counts as reasonable grounds. When doing so try to use common sense, some examples of when a stop and search would be acceptable would be: - A group of masked men are standing outside a house that isn't theirs - There has been a report of robbery's in the area and a masked man runs into a shop - You get a report of an offender who used a handgun to rob a shop in your area and a person matching their description walks past - You have the name of someone who might be carrying something illegal and you see that person - A masked man approaches the mayor while being aggresive Again this is just a limited example, but this would be just some of the common sense rules to go off. When searching someone you must always tell them Your name The grounds for the search, What prompted you to search him e.g. matching description of an offender The objective for the search, What you are searching for Those three things are a persons legal right to privacy and should be adhered to for correct Police roleplay. Again if this is too basic for you we can adapt and use the real UK police protocol to conduct a search correctly; Remember always search W.I.S.E.L.Y: -Warrant Card, present your warrant card to the individual. -Identity, state your identity clearly to the person being searched (Bind above for none microphone users.) -Station, state the station you are attached to (in this case is Cloud Gaming Police Station.) -Entitlement, inform the individual he has an entitlement to a search record or to complain to the government if the search is not conducted correctly or to legal standards. -Legal power used, inform the individual the law used to search them (Police and Criminal Evidence act Section 1/Mayors law if applicable) grounds for the search and the objective of the search. -You are detained for the purpose of this search. NOTE: This has been edited for use in DarkRP. Use of Force Criminal law act 1967 "A person may use such force as is reasonable in the circumstance in the prevention of crime." That is the guideline given by UK legislation and is pretty effective to convert into a roleplay element. Force should be used in an appropriate setting where necessary. Your number one objective should be to protect the life of the general public, secondary should be to protect your own. less-than-lethal force There are several circumstances where it would be appropriate to use less-than-lethal force, an example of reasons are the following: A person is causing obstruction, if you are able to move him without an arrest it is advisable to do so. To enforce a Police cordon, this will be disused further, however if you can get them out of the cordon area without an arrest, do so. To deter an approach, if you are guarding an individual or an area you may use less-than-lethal force to deter their approach to area/person In response to invasion of personal space, if someone is entering your personal space and reaction gap you may use less-than-lethal force to move them back Again with use of less than lethal force use common sense, if it is uneeded to use less than lethal force then do not use it, if it risks escalating the situation then do not use it. If you find that the situation naturally escalates then refer to my next guideline. Lethal Force Use of lethal force is quite simple, you may use lethal force if you believe there is a danger to life, be it your own or others. Lethal force is quite simple to asses, you can use the Yes, Maybe, No. We can categorize what situations fit into where. Yes - The suspect is confirmed to have a lethal weapon on him and is failing to comply with instructions given/is actively committing an offense. Maybe - The suspect is fleeing from a scene/matches the description of an armed suspect and is failing to comply with a stop and search or instructions and it is unknown if they are armed. No - The suspect is known not to have a weapon on him or the suspect is following instructions even if armed. An office is authorized to shoot if the answer is yes or maybe, if the answer it maybe it is advised the officer uses discretion before opening fire on the suspect an either give time for the suspect to comply with instructions or change the maybe from a yes. If you reasonably believe the suspect has potential to cause injury or kill you or others you may use lethal force in defense of yourself or the general public. Police Cordon The police cordon is a simple but effective measure of containing incidents/suspects, but it is also useful for preventing the general public from interfering with Police operations, hindering police progress or potentially getting injured or killed. A police cordon should: - Contain the suspects - Block of the area of Police operation to the general public - Be enough distance away from the operation area so as to prevent injury to members of the public - Prevent members of the public/suspects observing police movements to prevent potential spotting and information leaks - Be clearly visable - Be manned by regular Police Officers while S.W.A.T Conduct the operation - Be split into an outer and inner cordon A cordon will make Police operations that much easier to conduct as it will prevent civilians from interfering, will prevent attack from outside elements or at least give the operational officers enough warning to react to it, and will prevent innocent people from being injured by potential spray bullets. When manning a cordon it is important you split into 2 groups: Cordon Officers, who's responsibility is to man to cordon and prevent people entering the cordon area Operation Officers, who;s responsibility is to conduct the raid/operation inside the cordon area The operational officers will likely already know their goal as it will more than likely be a raid or other area operation, so it is important the Cordon Officers know what is expected of them. The Cordon Officer job will likely be undertake by Police, with occasional S.W.A.T support with rot shield, due to not being correctly equipped for hard entry raid scenarios. When manning the cordon there are 3 golden rules to follow: Under no circumstance can any none Law Enforcement enter the operation area Do not allow bystanders to get to much information from observation Do not allow bystanders to get to much information out of you Number 1 is a given, however number 2 and 3 are often overlooked but are just as important the sort of information they are able to observe is police positions, weapons, numbers etc. This is highly useful information for any defender to have and you do not know who is passing this information to the defenders, so don't let them get it. As for information they could get out of you this could be tactics you are discussing e.g. "we'll drop the ransomed money and arrest him when he comes out to collect it" or "We will send in a medic to check the hostage who will secretly give the hostage a gun." Even telling people what exactly you are hoping to get inside a base will give any defender knowledge on what he needs to hide or destroy to cover up their offence and avoid arrest. Think before you talk and if anyone asks just inform them that there is a Police operation underway. With cordon officers, assuming there is enough of you, you can be split down even further into 3 roles each with their own responsibility: - Defender. The job of a defender is to be stationed on the cordon and stay there despite what might be going on outside the cordon, it is your job to make sure no one gets past and follow the 3 golden rules - Chaser. They will be stationed on the cordon but will leave the cordon in the event that someone attempts to bait the police or a criminal offense is taking place in view outside of the cordon, your job will to be to arrest the defender or otherwise chase them as far away as to not present danger or obstruction to the operation - Cordon Manager. Your job will to be to ensure all others are performing their role, you will be responsible for liaising with the operational officers to find out how far the operation is into it's time and how long it will be until the operation officers exit the building after all suspects are eliminated or detained, you will also be praising you officers and helping when they are a man short due to a chaser performing his name sake. This job should be done by the Chief of Police. Finally it is important to know when to use a cordon, there is no one answer for this but again, use common sense. A list of examples are as followed: Building raid The Bank/PD is being raided Extended operations in an area Hostage situation There is a danger to those inside an area There is a danger to those who enter an area Again there is no one rule but use common sense and use the guidelines to do so effectively. Always assume you will never have enough officers to man a full cordon and prioritize as best you can based on potential threat to you and your operation. Job Roles Police Officer The Role As a Police Officer you are responsible for the day to day operations of the Police. This can be anything from a solo foot patrol, door to door questioning or manning a cordon. As a Police Officer your role is adaptable and diverse and you could go from investigating reports of Underground Mutants attacking Miners one moment, perusing a money thief another and securing the area and checking people for concealed weapons during the mayors speech the next. You will leave most of heavy duty jobs to the S.W.A.T as they are more equipped to deal with dangerous situations, though you may find yourself exchanging fire from time to time.

I find that there seems to be a lack of competent RP in all areas, not just policing, but the lack of RP in policing is most noticeable and important. If all Police Officers were to put in more effort while RPing it would be an overall more enjoyable experience for everyone, not only cutting on admin time having to deal with constant calls of RDM and FailRP. I'm not suggesting for a moment to turn this into a serious RP server as the exaggerate aspects are what I enjoy about DarkRP, I am just suggesting we do not shun the importance of role play, more specifically performing our role to one side for enjoyment. I do hope this guide has at very least gives enough detail and helps give some people guidance as to how to play the Police Service better and enhance their own and everyone else's RP experience. If there is anything I have missed out, you want me to adress or otherwise have questions about please leave a comment, message me in game or on the forum and I will be happy to help. Kindest Regards, Henry West.

A lot of people complaining recently about the fact that when they buy the tokens, they don't receive them. Fear not, you've not been scammed by our benevolent ruler, there's simply another step that people haven't seen. This guide will show you how to pay your way into victory, saving lives and quite possibly ending them too in the process! Step 1: Firstly, make sure all the fields are filled in correctly! This means make sure the steamid you put in is yours, or someone else might get your hard bought tokens, and we wouldn't want that, now would we! unless you want to give them to me, STEAM_0:1:81136513 :^) Step 2: Now that you've given roast your hard earned money, the next step is the one that people seem to not know. What you do is go ingame, open your chat, and type !store. (For the less literate of you, there's a very confused lady who may be able to help if you press E on her) Step 3: Now that you're in the shiny new donation store, you'll want to navigate to the exchange button, found here: Once on this lovely screen, you'll want to press this big imposing looking button here: Once you've pressed this button, you'll want to press the even shinier, but smaller button on the right side of the popup: Once you've done this, providing you've not made some silly mistake somewhere along the line, you should receive your shiny new tokens, ready to buy whatever you want, be it a shiny new rank, some instrument of murder, or even some new fashion options! Give me tokens please my family will die without them STEAM_0:1:81136513

You're not the boss are you? Ah, whatever, I didn't like him anyways. This is a guide to people that like to get raided a lot less, not to people who like to build big and powerful bases. Part A: Picking your base. Step 1: Have you ever stopped around, finding that every good place in the map is taken up by other people? Well, you're here anyways so let's continue. Me personally, Major Ocelot to you, prefers to base somewhere hidden, in a little crevice under a rock kind of person. You don't want an area which is too crowded or near spawn, making a easy target for a raid. You don't need all those fancy fading doors. In the suburbs is a good area, but the greatest area is behind buildings that aren't being used. Step 2: Getting members for your small base is a big improvement if raiders find your base for some reason... Anyways, more firepower for a base without many visible defenses is what you should desire. Cannot get any members to join? If a slot is available for becoming a mob boss or leader of a group, it's always easier to convince your own men to join you, anybody you hate should join. But if you're partner smells of motorcycle gasoline, you shouldn't trust them. Part B: Hiding your Big Boss DNA and 1 billion dollars. Step 1: Don't put any visible barricades on the windows if there is any, to make it look like the house is not owned. Do not put fading doors, but you should be able to fit some furniture in your place. If your place is too small to fit any furniture, it must be very small, therefore most people won't even find it. Step 2: Be weary of raiders, you should check on your base in at least an hour after you made or stocked it with your goodies. In the first step, I said make sure there is room for furniture, but why? Well because (this is optional) putting furniture behind your printers / Big Bosses' DNA can be effective if your raider goes full retard, no offense, (this is pretty offensive,) they might not notice the printers behind the book shelves or underneath the stove. Ta-da! you created your hidden base, hopefully this works, but with a Markov at your side, you can kill any raider. Just kidding! That's more of a revolver technique... This is a very short passage, but sometimes can be effective. (Not a shit post, it's not a shit post please don't call it a shit post, and You're Pretty Good. - Revolver Ocelot (Revolver Ocelot) The Colt Single Action Army... Six bullets, more than enough to kill anything that moves.

Firstly, this is my first guide so it's not going to be the best. Secondly, This guide is only here to put all the money making methods together, there are other guides that go into the depths of each method that will be talked about in this guide and I will link them down below. A basic guide to making money: First method: Printers Printers are the most straight forward way of making money, You spawn and printer and every minute it drops money. To spawn go into your F4 Menu > Entities > Select the printer you want to spawn. As a new player, you will have access to 3 printers: Normal | Advanced | Professional. Most jobs are allowed to spawn printers but make sure you check the rules before spawning one if you are unsure Here is a link to @aza10119 guide to printers, It goes into depth and tells you how much money you make per hour, It's a really good guide and I highly recommend you check it out if you want to learn more about the topic! Aza10119 Printer Guide Second Method: Cooking Meth This Method requires you to become a specific job, The "Meth Cook" As this job you have the access to new entities in your F4 Menu, These are what you are going to use to cook the meth. Cooking meth may seem daunting a first but it's pretty basic once you do it a couple of times it also gives a lot of money! (Meth cooks can also spawn printers and have them making money at the same time you are cooking meth) How to cook meth: Firstly: You are going to need a basic base set up, this is because cooking meth is illegal and you can't exactly do it in the public eye, It's also to stop greedy raiders from taking all your meth. Just search "Basic dark RP base build" on youtube to see how to set up your first base. Secondly: Actually making the meth. Here is a youtube video on how to make meth: Meth Video. The reason I gave a youtube video is cause personally, I find it easier to learn from videos and being shown what to do rather than it being explained, But If you want me to give a guide myself then just let me know Third: When you cook your meth it will pop out of the pot once you click on the pot when it says the meth is ready. This will stay on you even if you die, you then go sell the meth to the druggie. Here is a guide to map callouts on the server Avionix's Map callouts guide . As you can see the druggie's location is circled on the map as 6. Some tips for making meth: Building a base near the druggie is helpful because when you sell him your meth it will make you wanted and the Police/Swat can arrest you if they see you. Also @xX_AgentDZ_XxHas an amazing guide that gives you all the keybinds for each meth entity, Here is the guide: Key Bind Guide Basic info on Meth: Money: For selling 1 Meth crystal you will be paid $36,000 | Meth takes 7.5 Minutes too cook Third Method: Moonshine Brewing For this Method, you will have to become the "Moonshine Brewer" Job in F4 Jobs menu. Making moonshine is pretty straight forward, All you do Spawn The Brewery and them Drop the 2 other Moonshine ingredients into it. Moonshine Takes 3 minutes to brew and instantly gives you $6000 When done. Moonshine Brewers can also have printers while brewing moonshine. Fourth Method: Mining To mine you have first goto the mine, this is in the area circled and marked as "2" on the map, also known as residentials on the map. If you still cant find it just ask another player on the street, I'm sure they would be glad to help When you find the mine, you will see there is a NPC standing beside it, you click on this NPC and buy your pickaxe from them, this is also where you will later sell your valuable resources you have collected from mining! You can use an autoclicker for mining but YOU CAN NOT BE AFK WHEN DOING SO. If you are caught AFK at the mine you will be punished, you can't just turn on your autoclicker and then leave your PC, you need to be at your PC if you are using autoclikcer to mine. I mine a lot when the server is a low pop, and I can tell you ADMINS/MODS REGULARYL CHECK THE MINE FOR PEOPLE AFK. Here is a link to @i30delta mining guide! It's well made and very easy to understand i30delta Mining Guide This is a link to the AutoClicker I use: AutoClicker. With the way mining works on cloud you have to click, then give time to find the resource. You can't just spam click basically, So if you do decide to use an autoclicker make sure you set the "Click Interval" Too 2.5 seconds, this gives enough time for a gem to be found. Thank you for reading my guide CloudGaming is the best DarkRP community I have been a part of and I hope you enjoy your time on the server! Like I said this is just a basic guide, there are many more ways of making money on the server, these are just the methods you can "grind" I want to thank all the other users for making their guides that I have linked above, make sure you give them some support for the helpful guides they have created! regul

This is Major Ocelot reporting in, this is a guide if you are bad at begging, annoying, or building as a homeless person. (Not a shit post) Part A: Begging Step 1: Being convincing. The thing most people lack in, having the devil's silver tongue... People run around screaming they want money over, and over, and over again and again never stopping, hoping that someone RDMs- I got a little off track, let us continue. Using less words, for example not begging over and over again, helps you be more convincing when begging for money. If they won't give you money, they won't give you money, that's the bottom line. When dealing with being convincing, you use more exquisite and gentle words, "not giv me mune." More like, "Sir, would you kindly donate some money to the unfulfilled?" Finally, you need to be calm and satisfied with any answer they give you, especially the hot tempered ones that have More than 1 million dollars. Step 2: Finding the right person. This is a very important step indeed, finding the target for begging. Most people just hold tab, find the amount of money someone has, and then proceeds to ask for a donation, a BIG no-no. First, to check wealth, you must look into their shoes... Just kidding, that would be morally right, but come on, we are just in it for the money. We shall look at their heads, you might see one of the following: Nothing: ✘ Cowboy Hat: ✓ Santa Hat: ✓ $$$$$$ You'll be dancing in the rain with Big Boss, actually, Venom Snake years from now. (Ocelot Meows) Anyways, let us head onto the next part... Part B: Being a Nuisance. Step 1: Gather all the hobos you need to complete your goal of being annoying(and Having a blast). Try to convince anybody you can to join you, politely as in part A. Next, tell your army, group, or if your a loner, yourself, to make as many annoying trash looking places in the tunnels, sidewalk, or any place a hobo might put their stuff. Making it very annoying every time you walk into a tunnel or area away from spawn, cans and cardboard boxes are not entirely blocking the user from exiting the tunnel without jumping, make it accessible to all people, please don't prop-block. For example, the a tunnel that everybody walks out of spawn distance, put a can or a box in the corner where someone will try to turn a corner, making it very annoying, but accessible to exit the tunnel without jumping/crouching. Remember, just like RDMers, shoot everybody that walks by with a revolver, right in the head making a entire bad situation to get yourself into, being jailed then having to explain what happened in front of a staff member and a player you shot, making him never like you again, just kidding. Anyways, next step! Step 2: Do something stupid for money, but nothing that will break the rules *wink* (I can't say it feels good to kill a comrade, even if it is for the GRU money.) or Play the guitar pretty good and get a piles of money and cheques down below your feet from the admins and staff alike. (optional) I hope you found this a little bit interesting, had some time to look at it, didn't mean to make it look like a shit post, it's not a shit post, It's an interesting coincidence. - Revolver Ocelot (Revolver Ocelot)

This is a guide for the recently adding mining system. VIDEO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pngl7_QmK2Q PROFIT According to my averages, you would be able to make up to $13800 per minute if mining at the fastest speed possible. Below are my calculations. I mined 20 gems, 3 times. Here are the different results I got: Test 1: 5 rock, 3 silver, 7 mold, 5 gold. Test 2: 4 rock, 5 silver, 9 mold, 2 gold. Test 3: 4 rock, 6 silver, 5 mold, 5 gold. Overall, out of 20 gems mined, the average amounts were: 4 rock, 5 silver, 7 gold, 4 mold. This would give you $9200 profit. The fastest time to get 20 gems: For this I will assume that you get a gem every time, you do not wait between mining and you have no lag. It takes 2 seconds per gem so 20 * 2 = 40. That is $9200 every 40 seconds. This means that you could be making up to $13800 every minute. NOTE: All values are subject to change in upcoming updates.
