Suggestion:
Give the police N.H.S. 'Downed' dispatches.
The suggestion is to not only send downed dispatches to the N.H.S., but also the police service. This will likely be a controversial suggestion.
The purpose of giving the police service downed dispatches would be for three reasons:
Reason 1: Downed dispatches would help the police be notified of crime that happens on the server. This would aid the police in coming to these crime scenes before all the RP has ended. (As the N.H.S. would be the only one to get the dispatches and as there's often only a handful of them on the server, being notified of an incident revolving around crime is much lower than what it could be (no blame to the N.H.S. of course), as very few use the 999 dispatches, allowing for more prolonged R.P./story-lines.)
Reason 2: Help lower the dump/taunt meta on the server. If criminals know that police are likely to turn up to an incident involving a person who has been incapacitated, they may be more likely to flea the area similar to when shots fired dispatches get sent to the police.
Reason 3: Help aid the N.H.S. when there are low numbers/none on the server. If the police were to be given downed dispatches, it would allow them to attend to whatever R.P. has happened and if no N.H.S. are able to come to the scene, they could bring them to a hospital. (This also would allow if desired, the small amount of N.H.S. staff on duty [e.g. 1 or 2] to stay at a hospital and the police bring them to said hospital for medical R.P., reducing the amount of people who have to re-spawn/get no R.P. at hours when low emergency services numbers are on the server.)
Comparing to I.R.L. isn't the best idea, however, the suggestion was thought of from I.R.L. dispatchers where when you state someone has been stabbed or attacked, they send both the police and the N.H.S., not just the N.H.S.. I don't want this suggestion to make people think it would take away from the N.H.S. or any blame given to the N.H.S., I believe this would aid them with police turning up to dispatches to help control those present if needs be and preemptively attend scene that the N.H.S. would inevitably have to spend waiting for the police to show or simply leave due to the time taken for police to show.
Negatives:
- I believe this will result in less people dying on the server and more prolonged R.P. story-lines. This can very well be considered a negative as how else will people lose gear and end avenues of R.P.?
- The police already get a lot of dispatches as is. The 'downed' dispatches coming through may annoy them or clog the system.
- This would potentially take away from the experience of being transported in an ambulance rather than a police car. (Most incapacitated people tend to be transported in cars/on bikes already, but the concern is still valid)
- This would inhibit criminals from committing crime as freely as they currently do. (This would change the experience a criminal would have to deal with when fighting with others and this could be seen as a negative)
- The N.H.S. may feel as if their job is being taken from them. (Police already have the power to revive people but under strict circumstance, this would need to be another thing that has imposed restrictions so the N.H.S. isn't being over looked and that may be seen as a negative from both the police and N.H.S..)
I will also note that this wouldn't affect dumping people into secluded areas where no-one can hear them call for assistance.
I am aware of the positives and negatives associated with this suggestion, I just think it is worthwhile to chuck it out into the open and see what people think.
