Sleeping Police Problem
-------------------------------------------------------------
Hello!
Now, if you're active in game you're probably used to the police force being quite "bare." For example, I can't actually remember the last time I was pulled over, or the last time I've seen anyone been pulled over. This sleeping police problem that has occurred over the past month or two has caused a huge increase in the power projection of the illegal factions compared to the power projection of both the state department and the police department. What I want to know is why you think the police problem has occurred and what steps could we take as a community to avoid and work around it? I understand Beatty is doing a lot of great work but this seems to be a huge problem as criminal organisations continue to grow while the police department continues to shrink.
Personally, I believe that the CK/rejoining rules on the police are too strict. I have been a police officer on three different alts, I have been murdered while protecting my co-workers, fatally crashing while attempting to chase a suspect and again when a situation was reset, leading to "borderline" metagaming from the other side while investigating a warehouse in Los Santos. Now, I was ck'd, what were my choices? I had to spend 12vp on a stat transfer, which was money that I had neither IC or OOC at that point, or take a "reinstatement exam", the issue was that the exam was never given to me under the old command even when asked and was told to rejoin through the normal route - which meant becoming a student, being retrained, etc etc... after Jasmine_Crawford was ck'd I eventually decided to give up and focus my full time on Charles_Stark.
However that's just my opinion, I'm interested in the opinion of others on the issue, or whether there even is an issue
