What is the APD?
The Altis Police Department mainly patrols the map in an attempt to catch criminals. The APD are required to respond to federal reserve robberies, Blackwater Armory robberies, and disturbances at the Altis Penitentiary. APD officers have the choice of responding to robberies of the Bank of Altis, art gallery robberies, gas station robberies, and pharmaceutical truck robberies. The APD occasionally responds to 911 dispatches, investigates the use of R&R panic buttons, and escorts civilians who are using large trucks. There is a maximum of 20 APD slots on each of the Olympus servers.
Joining the APD
The APD is a whitelisted faction that players can join once they meet a certain number of requirements. Those requirements1 are as follows:
- Applicants must be 16 years of age or older. If caught lying about your age, you will be blacklisted.
- Applicants must have at least 1800 minutes (30 hours) of playtime as a civilian.
- Applicants must not have a ban within two weeks prior to their application.
- Applicants must know and understand the rules needed to play the role.
If a player meets those requirements, he or she can apply to join the APD. Applications can be submitted through the support area of the forums.
- Click "support" in the bar at the top of the website.
- Click "new request".
- Open the department drop-down menu and click "APD Application".
- Complete and submit the application.
When an APD application is reviewed and accepted by a senior APD member, that player must pass a deputy test and attend a basic training that's usually conducted by an field training officer (FTO).
Corporal of the Month
A single corporal is recognized every month for an exemplary demonstration of their duties. This corporal will be rewarded with the title “Corporal of the Month” (COTM), a forum post recognizing their performance, and access to staff sergeant gear for one month.
How is the COTM selected?
SAPD will reward a corporal, each month, who performs their duties in an exemplary manner. Corporal of the Month is intended to award officers, while also providing an additional incentive to those who strive to achieve.
The following factors are taken into consideration when selecting the COTM:
- In-game activity
- Amount of trainings (only applicable to FTOs)
- Demonstrating leadership
- Playing with a diverse range of APD officers
- Mentoring newer APD officers
- Role-playing
- No disciplinary action within the last month
Rewards
The Corporal of the Month will be permitted to use staff sergeant gear for the duration of their promotion. This gear includes:
- 7.62mm variants, LMG magazines, 9mm/.45 ACP suppressors.
- Pilot Helmets & Enhanced Combat Helmet (tier 4 armor rating)
