Bounty Hunters

[SGT Dean Hastings]

Given we have received the new game build I was thinking about a new job. The Bounty Hunter. This profession would work in the following way:

For phase 1: I propose we introduce Bounty Hunters like this to see if it works:

We will appoint Officers to work as "Bounty Hunter liason officers" who will manage groupies for Bounty Hunters where we will publicly but privately announce who our wanted's are that we wish to outsource for capture and what the pay from the police budget will be for their safe capture. We can talk about providing tasers to the people who are tracking down whoever it is that needs capturing. We need to come to an agreement what peoples background can be to be come a bounty hunter, I think it should be kind but not silly. Bounty Hunters will be named on an internal Police Database so police always know who the bounty hunters are.

For Phase 2:

Any Inspector+ may outsource any wanted person to the bounty hunters who may only join the profession based on a background check which will work in a way everyone agrees. Outsourced wanted people may be set as low, medium or high demand which will result in the end result. Which risk they are set as affects the pay.

Bounty hunters will get access to the less powerful version of taser (longer cooldown) and handcuffs. The bounty hunters will get access to very few police tracking tricks if any at all.

If a person is outsourced to bounty hunters and is arrested once handed over to an officer. Upon being processed and the warrant actioned, it will ask "Did a bounty hunter find this person?" if YES is selected then the officer must enter the citizen ID of the bounty hunter or select them from a list so that they get paid.

Bounty Hunters will get access to an ID I'm happy to create if the community likes this idea. I think their "fleet vehicle" should be the bottom dollar van probably in plain but I suspect people will want to adopt their own style.

No Inspector+ may also have a bounty hunter character for preventing conflict of interests.

Not sure if they need a MLO to work as a temporary holding pen whilst they await Police, judiciary may require some byelaws to be written.

What you read above is my idea more or less fleshed out. But this suggestion is a community suggestion and it's first phase does NOT require dev action. Something this ambitious, I'd wanna see it work before giving it all the bells and whistles.

If phase 1 is successful we can talk about as a community how we want to flesh out the position with dev development but I think phase 1 is a good way to test the waters and see if this is something the community would be into trialing. If it fails, we not lost anything, it's a trial. If it succeeds then we all win. The dev stuff is more about payment automation and allowing bounty hunters access to tasers in a less annoying way. Personally I think it'd be cool if Police handed out "Bounty Hunter Tasers" to bounty hunters which are say blue in colour or some other skin but have longer lifespans but longer cooldowns. A cool PNC type terminal that Police can put things on for bounty hunters would be neat but we can use groupie in the first instance.

(yes I now we had this on Arma, things are a bit different on FiveM)

[PS Declan Winter]

Well fleshed out idea, big +1 for this would be super cool to see some of the stuff in-game.
As Dean said ^ Happy to contribute anything needed to push this through, PNC/Code Wise or etc

i would much rather see a bailiff execute a high court writ if im honest.

I’ll be honest, the first thing that comes to mind after reading this is the mass amounts of Reports that are likely to come from this.

As police, we already have a large amount of tracking tools available to us, if we can’t get the job done with those then maybe the crim deserves to stay off the radar.

Within RP we have a similar line of RP by developing CHIS’s too. Whilst not a bounty hunter, a confidential informatant can be paid if their intel leads to an arrest, so it is very similar. Polcom have money in the budget for things like this so maybe we should be focusing that as every time I’ve been involved it’s always created some good RP as sometimes it works, sometimes you get double crossed and end up with no fingernails

 

[Snoops]

I'd rather see this as a player-V-NPC thing, and an actual court ballif role be made for Player-v-player interactions.
