So after almost three months of waiting, Gold command decided to release/implement their compromise to lifting faction restrictions. Although we all knew somewhat of a Special Rank was coming that would not allow anyone in a Primary Unit to play rebel without losing months, if not years of time put into the police, we had some hope as we were told that no matter what compromise Gold Command present, another community vote will take place where lifting restrictions completely and the new compromise will be voted for. (see below).
I fully understand that you cannot keep everyone happy and appreciate everyone who has put time aside to work on this new rank however this really isn't what the community voted for. With that being said, many of us would very much like to see the re-vote of the compromise against completely lifting restrictions.
We were told to address this situation in the Police Board meeting however in the board meeting we were told that if we wish to see any type of change we should email management. Instead of sending an email, a forum post is most likely the better option as this does affect the entire community. I'd also like to mention that this compromise was added without any discussion with police-board therefor resulting in what the majority did not want.
Below is a document with data acquired from the community vote itself and a form response sheet that was made today (11/12/2019) to gather some data before board. I understand that gold command may call bias or claim that the information pool is too small which is understandable as it was only done in one day however a solid 66 police members (at the time of this post) have given their input which is a large majority.

Using the information obtained from the google response form, 4 points are clear;
Using the information obtained in the community vote that was done by Wilco, the following information is clear;
I understand that we are in the month of December so people may have their hands full with real life and this may take time to change if it were to. Also I am in no way creating this post to incite drama. This is merely a post to address the concern that many of us are not happy with the compromise that has been implemented and would be very happy if the re-vote that was mentioned takes place. Police Command may mention that we are only in the early days of the new compromise being implemented and that we should wait to see how it goes over the next few weeks however it still leaves the majority of higher ranks unhappy and I would rather not see this brushed under the carpet.

Using the information obtained from the google response form, 4 points are clear;
- 100% of the police that took the survey that are in specialised units would NOT step down to the new rank, removing a large portion of the police from being able to play rebel.
- At the time of writing this (more data is still being obtained) 58 police officers who took the survey would not step down to the new SC rank and 54 of them would like to play rebel.
- 40 of the police officers that took the survey are at or above the rank of SGT leaving 74% of police who took the survey and would like to play rebel not being able to. Unless they step down from high ranking/achieving positions. 26% of the police who took the survey that are interested in the new rank are at the rank of PC or below, meaning that they would not have to step down from a high position or lose months/years of time put into the police.
- Since the Community Vote, the number of officers that would like to play rebel has risen based on information gained in only one day.
Using the information obtained in the community vote that was done by Wilco, the following information is clear;
- Approximately 65 police members voted in the community poll.
- 20 of these officers voted against playing rebel. (9 of them being Gold Command members who made the compromise).
- 45 of these officers voted for restrictions to be lifted so that they could play rebel.
