Issues I feel are a thing right now in the police force:
- Little to no Organisation within operations and no tactical awareness
-Using numbers of officers to only overcome operations and not thinking how to use them effectively
-Under armed officers
-Riot gear would be nice
-People moaning at each other for being "bad"
-The whole police vs rebel bullshit
-Higher ups not valuing lives of lower ranked officers.
Point 1: I can agree on that a fair few lower and higher ranking officers get to kill hungry and just rush gunfights and the completly loose focus on how to deal with it sometimes.
2. Pretty fair point teaching the officers how to for example do a big drug bust with 5+ rebels with drugs and extra gang members etc. Teaching them how to approach with as little casuallties as possible would be a good way to do it BUT hard to train all 300-400 ish cops how to think tacticaly.
3. Not really no. As a PC you get lethals and rubbers for the mk20c a weapon perfect for close quarter combat to 300-400 meter shots. SPC's get a MK20 almost the same BUT longer ranged and you can get a suppresor for it. Like all the guns cops get are very useful and not hard to use well in a fight aginst mx's etc. When I was an SPC all I ran around with was a STING in a HM and still got a fair few amount of rebels.
4 "Riot gear" so tear gas and helmets becuase that's about as much as you can add to the server without mods really. Or you could just use your Tazer,Rubbers and a Carrier rig BAM gear to keep an angry croud rioting in place since you don't want to kill the poor hobos.
5 That happend very very rarely when I was in cops the few times I was in atleast, sometimes you had a salty cops who would be a bit anoyed but otherwose it would be fine.
6. Well not much that can be done really since it's still a part of the game. If you're a cop yourself a tip if you wanna have less rebels to deal with, just do something else. You're still a cop almost all units respond to a big fight. Go help the poor dimond traders they get robbed all the time, hang around with them,talk to them.
7. This one happend very often in the police when I was in it. I remember being a poor PC on a NCA patrol as a guest and everyone telling me "tell the rebels they are outnumberd that you have sharpshooters on the hils and several armed cops around the area." but we were just 6 cops 3 of those on hills 2 on the ground and me telling 7 armed rebels to surrender or be and I quote the NCA officer "Tell them to put their hands up or be shot by your police snipers on the hill"
This has happend eay too often ad a lower rank or even more cops sending in CSO's and PCSO's alone to try and arrest 5 armed rebels while the rest wait for gun shots to be fierd so they can get "frags" for their frag montage
