`ALL OFFICERS MUST REVISE THE PENALE CODE!`
https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codesTOCSelected.xhtml?tocCode=PEN

**Hand cuffing and Restrain:**
When deciding whether to use any restraint, officers should carefully balance officer safety concerns with factors that include, but are not limited to:

The circumstances or crime leading to the arrest.
The demeanour and behaviour of the arrested person.
The age and health of the person.
Whether the person has a hearing or speaking disability. In such cases, consideration should be given, safety permitting, to handcuffing to the front in order to allow the person to sign or write notes.
Whether the person has any other apparent disability
Situations may arise where it may be reasonable to restrain an individual who may, after brief investigation, be released without arrest. Unless arrested, the use of restraints on detainees should continue only for as long as is reasonably necessary to assure the safety of officers and others. When deciding whether to remove restraints from a detainee, officers should continuously weigh the safety interests at hand against the continuing intrusion upon the detainee.

**Miranda Rights:**

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?

Simply advising the suspect of their rights does not fully comply with the Miranda rule. The suspect must also voluntarily waive their Miranda rights before questioning can proceed. An express waiver is not necessary, However, most law enforcement agencies use written waiver forms. These include questions designed to establish that the suspect expressly waived their rights. Most common waiver questions will be given below, Again exact "language" below is not required, but it should include same meaning as the ones listed below.

"Do you understand each of these rights?"
"Understanding each of these rights, do you now wish to speak to the police without a lawyer being present?"
"Having understood these rights, do you wish to speak to the police without a lawyer being present?"
The waiver must be "knowing and intelligent" and it must be "voluntary". Essentially this means the prosecution must prove that the suspect had a basic understanding of their rights and an appreciation of the consequences of forgoing those rights. If the suspect was under the influence of alcohol or other drugs, and/or suffered from an emotional or mental condition that substantially impaired their capacity to make rational decisions, the courts may well decide that the suspect's waiver was not "knowing and intelligent".

**Appropriate use of Radio:**
Even though radio use is set to minimum, since every police officer must be on Discord, any police personnel can use it for reporting different activities. You can use police radio by calling into dispatch. I will try to bring some examples below so you can use them in future on your patrol duty.

While a Priority is declared, non-urgent traffic must cease or use alternative communication methods. Only one situation may be a priority, and this depends on a variety of factors like threat to public safety, and threat to life.

Getting on duty - (Unit Number) show me 10-8 [10-41]
Traffic stop - (Unit Number) show me on an active 10-11 on (road) facing (direction) with (description of vehicle) and (number of occupants) No/Need additional units.
En-route - (Unit Number) show me 10-97 code: (1, 2, 3) to that 911 call, ETA on arrival 3 minutes
Backup - (Unit Number) requestion 10-32's (number of them) code: (1, 2, 3)
Out of service - (Unit Number) show me 10-7 [10-42]

Officers using emergency lights and siren shall consider the call an emergency response and proceed immediately. Officers responding using emergency lights and siren shall continuously operate emergency lighting equipment, and shall sound the siren as reasonably necessary. The driver of an authorized emergency vehicle may

Proceed past a red or stop signal or stop sign, but only after slowing down as may be required and necessary for safe operation.
Exceed the maximum speed limits as long as operative does not endanger life or property.
Disregard regulations governing direction of movement or turning in specified directions. (Doesn't apply to all cases)
In emergency responses, officers driving at high speeds shall continuously employ both the emergency lights and siren of the police vehicle.
When driving in emergency response mode, operative must consider the immediate conditions, including roadway and weather conditions, density/flow of vehicular and pedestrian traffic, time of day, and nature of the location.

**Code 1** - The ordinary response to all calls will be “Code 1.” There shall be no use of emergency equipment. (No lights/sirens)
- Examples of a Code 1 response are Drug Deal in progress.
- This response does not relieve the officer from the duty to drive with due regard for the safety.

**Code 2** - Used for a non life-flueatening call where the timely response of an officer is required. (Only lights)
- Examples of a Code 2 response are vandalism in progress, or a traffic accident with unknown injuries.
- This response does not relieve the officer from the duty to drive with due regard for the safety.

**Code 3** - Used for life-threatening calls or crimes in progress, which require the unit to reach the scene as expeditiously as possible. (lights/sirens)
- Examples of a Code 3 response include a robbery or felony in progress where deadly force has been used or threatened, a police officer in trouble whose safety is threatened, a bombing or major fire, or any other situation where human life is endangered.
- This emergency response does not relieve the officer from the responsibility to drive with due regard for the safety of all persons.

**Regular Traffic Stop:**
**General Definition and execution:**

A traffic stop, commonly called being pulled over, is a temporary detention of a driver of a vehicle by police to investigate a possible crime or minor violation of law, Such as driving infraction, driver licensing issues or mechanical defects. Police vehicles traditionally have sirens, loudspeakers, and lightbars that rotate or flash. These apparatus are used by the officer to get the attention of the suspect and to signal that they are expected to move over to the side of the road and stop the vehicle. Failure to comply could result in citation of failure to yield to an emergency vehicle and possibly raise suspicion that the driver is attempting to flee.

**Basic traffic stop steps:**

- Once the driver stops the vehicle, take your time, make sure to update your disposition and check the vehicle's plate. (Unit Number) show me on an active 10-11 with (Car description) (number of ocupants) on (road) facing (direction) No/need additionals required.
- Run the vehicles plate ID (Example : /mdtplate plate) - IF stolen this becomes a felony stop and your full attention is forward.
- Approach the driver's vehicle and ask them to roll window down (if it's not already down obviously).
Introduce yourself by simple phrase (Example : Hello, this is officer yourname with the -
- Blaine County's Sheriff's Office/San Andreas State Police).
- Ask the driver if he/she knows why you pulled them over ( Example : Sir/mam do you know why i stopped you today?).
- If driver doesn't know why you pulled them over or simply answers no, Make sure to explain reason even if answer is yes (Example: I Pulled you over because you ran a stop sign on Paleto Blvd..).
- Proceed to ask driver for their License, Vehicle registration and Proof of insurance. (Example : Could you please hand me your Driver's license, Vehicle registration and Proof of insurance)
- If you receive required documents that dont belong to the owner, you may need to go back to vehicle and check the information by using MDT. (For commands check above).
- When returning to the Driver, you either give them verbal warning (not more than one offense), a written warning, or infraction ticket for the offense. Ticket should be written judging by severity of offense or multiple offense. (high/low).
- Let them know your decision. (Example : Sir, I am going to write you a citation for running a stop sign. */ticket offense and price )
In case you write a ticket, Make sure to hand the copy of the ticket and make the person sign it (Example : Sir, You will have to leave your signature at the bottom of the ticket  */me hands over copy of the ticket and pen)
- Make sure to notify driver that signing ticket is not admission of guilt, it's only "promise" that they will appear at traffic court.
- Return to the driver and Return his/her documents back.
- After steps above are finished, You can wish good day/night to the driver and tell them to drive safely, after tell them that they are free to leave.
- Return to your patrol vehicle and update your disposition (Example : (Unit Number) code 4 10-8 of that 10-11)

**Extras:**
- Remember you must present your badge number when requested.
- You are not allowed to search driver's vehicle, unless driver gives consent for it, or you have probable cause to believe that person has a specific illegal article inside of it. This includes alcohol and narcotics during DUI / DWI stops where impairment is sincerely indiciated. A persons criminal record may be taken into account depending on the evidence you have. Ask for a supervisor when in doubt.

A verbal warning of the intended use of the TASER device should precede its application, unless it would otherwise endanger the safety of officers or when it is not practicable due to the circumstances. The purpose of the warning is to:

- Provide the individual with a reasonable opportunity to voluntarily comply.
- Provide other officers and individuals with a warning that the TASER device may be deployed.

If, after a verbal warning, an individual is unwilling to voluntarily comply with an officer's lawful orders and it appears both reasonable and feasible under the circumstances, the officer may, but is not required to, display the laser in a further attempt to gain compliance prior to the application of the TASER device. The aiming laser should never be intentionally directed into the eyes of another as it may permanently impair his/her vision.

 **Felony Traffic Stop:**
A "felony" or "high-risk" traffic stop occurs when police stop a vehicle which they have strong reason to believe contains a driver or passenger suspected of having committed a serious crime, especially of a nature that would lead the police to believe the suspects may be armed (such as an armed robbery, assault with a weapon, or an outstanding felony warrant for the registered owner). In a high risk stop, officers attempt to provide their own safety by issuing instructions to maintain absolute control over every step of the proceedings.

Basic Felony traffic stop steps

- Call for immediate backup (1-2 Units as primary, should be forming a special pattern to successfully secure the suspects and the vehicle, If other units are present on scene, they should be blocking the traffic flow to ensure safety of citizens) - (Unit number) requesting 2-3 additionals on (road) facing (direction) for a code 5 felony traffic stop. Respond Code 3
- After you call for backup, Instantly step out of the vehicle and aim the weapon towards the suspect's vehicle. (Taser for primary, Lethal for the other units)
- Once backup units arrive, Initiating officer can start giving instructions. Those instructions will be listed below
- Every occupant (One by one, not everyone together) in the vehicle shall be ordered to leave the vehicle with their hands in the air and facing away from the officers, Starting from the driver (Following is not required, but you can still execute it for sake of rp) Order suspect to pull their shirt up and turn around slowly, This is to ensure that there is nothing on suspect's torso. After, they must be ordered to lie and stay on the ground with their legs spread. Once all occupants are secured. A group of several officers should move carefully from the right side of the suspect's vehicle to ensure that there's no one left and the vehicle is safe.
- Once scene is secured, Initiating officer can proceed with the standard arrest procedure.

**Pursuit's - 10-80's:**
A vehicle pursuit is an event involving one or more law enforcement officers attempting to apprehend a suspect, who is attempting to avoid arrest while operating a motor vehicle by using high-speed driving or other evasive tactics, such as driving off a highway, turning suddenly, or driving in a legal manner but will fully failing to yield to an officer’s signal to stop. Even though Police chases are required, they create a dangerous situation for everyone involved especially when police go to extreme lengths pursuing suspects for minor violations. Vehicle pursuits expose innocent citizens, law enforcement officers and fleeing violators to the risk of serious injury or death, Therefore are specific guidelines which need to be followed and these will be listed down below.

**When and how to Initiate a Pursuit:**
Officers are authorized to initiate a pursuit when it is reasonable to believe that a suspect is attempting to evade arrest or detention by fleeing in a vehicle. Some of the factors will be listed down, following factors individually and collectively shall be considered before deciding whether to initiate a pursuit.

- Seriousness of the known or reasonably suspected crime and its relationship to community safety.
- The importance of protecting the citizens and public as a while and apparent nature of the fleeing suspects (e.g., whether the suspects represent a serious threat to public safety).
- The identity of the suspects has been verified and there is comparatively minimal risk in allowing the suspects to be apprehended at a later time (e.g., Issuing warrant on a suspect(s) name(s) and making vehicle plates).
- Safety of the public in the area of the pursuit, including the type of area, time of day, the amount of vehicular and pedestrian traffic and the speed of the pursuit relative to these factors. (e.g., Extremely high speeds in a crowded spaces in night and a rainy weather, should be taken in account)
- Capabilities of law enforcement vehicle(s) compared to the vehicle(s) of suspect.
- Availability of additional resources. (e.g., helicopter assistance or required units)
- Other persons in or on pursued vehicle (e.g., passengers, co-offenders, hostages)


**Responsibilities and numbers of units involved:**
The more law enforcement units actively participating in a pursuit increases the likelihood of a collision. Usually number of acceptable chase units Is around 3 - Such units may include the primary, secondary, supervisor, and/or other agency authorized units. Public safety should be the foremost consideration when determining the number of units permitted. However, the number of units involved will vary with the circumstances. If it appears that the number of officers involved would be insufficient to safely arrest the suspects, an operative or supervisor may request additional units to join a pursuit. Every unit has it's own responsibility in the pursuit, The initial pursuing unit will be designated as the primary pursuit unit and will be responsible for the conduct of the pursuit unless it is unable to remain close enough to the violator’s vehicle.

Primary unit : Should Notify the Communications Centre (discord) that a vehicle pursuit has been initiated and as soon as practicable provide information including, but not limited to:

- Reason for the pursuit
- Location and direction of the pursuit
- Speed and description of the fleeing vehicle
- Number of known occupants in the vehicle
- Information concerning the use of firearms, threat of force, injuries, hostages or other unusual hazards.

**Role of the primary officer(s) and/or supervisor(s) regarding pursuit includes, but is not limited to:**

- Initiating a pursuit
- Continuing or terminating a pursuit
- Changing roles in a pursuit (primary to secondary)
- Taking over a pursuit as the primary unit or agency
- Driving tactics
- Communicating with other officer(s), dispatch and/or supervisor(s)
- Conditions for authorising additional units


**The second officer in the pursuit is responsible for the following, but is not limited to:**
- Taking responsibility for broadcasting the progress of the pursuit unless the situation indicates otherwise.
- Broadcasting speed, directions, conditions and general information of the pursuit unless the situation indicates otherwise.
- Maintain a safe distance behind the primary unit, unless directed to assume the role of primary officer, or if the primary unit is unable to continue the pursuit

**Driving Tactics and Regulations:**
- Blocking or vehicle intercept -  A vehicle interception involves the blocking-in of a suspect vehicle utilizing law enforcement vehicles. The intercept takes place at an intersection, parking lot, driveway or any location where a suspect vehicle is slowing, stopped or beginning to move. The law enforcement vehicles are positioned according to special instructions. Basically, a slow-speed coordinated maneuver where two or more patrol vehicles simultaneously intercept and block the movement of a suspect's vehicle.

- Boxing-In -  A tactic designed to stop a suspect’s vehicle by surrounding it with law enforcement vehicles and then slowing/stopping all the law enforcement vehicles to a prevent suspect from driving away.

- Pursuit Intervention Technique (PIT) -  A low-speed maneuver performed to cause the suspect's vehicle to spin out and put an end to the pursuit.

- Ramming -  The purposeful act of impacting a violator’s vehicle with law enforcement vehicle to functionally damage or in other way force the suspect’s vehicle to come to stop.

- Roadblocks -  A tactic designed to stop a suspect’s vehicle by intentionally and willfully placing an emergency vehicle or other immovable object in the direction of the suspect’s vehicle.

- Blocking or vehicle intercept should only be considered in cases involving felony suspects or impaired drivers who pose high threat to public safety.  Because of the potential risks involved, All attempts to setup such vehicle stops shall be first confirmed with Primary -
- Unit/Supervisor and should be called out in Radio several times to avoid potential -
- injuries/deaths of people involved.
- Spike strips -  A device designed to extend across the roadway to puncture the tires of the pursued vehicle. (Done via use of shotgun)

- Blocking or vehicle intercept should only be considered in cases involving felony suspects or impaired drivers who pose high threat to public safety.  Because of the potential risks involved, All attempts to setup such vehicle stops shall be first confirmed with Primary
- Unit/Supervisor and should be called out in Radio several times to avoid potential injuries/deaths of people involved.

- Officers should not pursue a vehicle driving left of center (wrong lane) on a road. In the event that the pursued vehicle does so, the following tactics should be considered:

- Requesting assistance from an air unit.
- Maintaining visual contact with the pursued vehicle by paralleling it on the correct side of the roadway.
- Requesting other units to observe exits available to the suspects.
- Because intersections can present increased risks, the following tactics should be considered:

- Available units not directly involved in the pursuit may proceed safely to controlled intersections ahead of the pursuit in an effort to warn cross traffic.
- Pursuing units should exercise due caution when proceeding through controlled intersections.
- General tactics that should be considered at all times:

Notifying the San Andreas State Police (SASP) and/or other jurisdictional agency if it appears that the pursuit may enter their jurisdiction.
- Officers involved in a pursuit should not attempt to pass other units unless the situation indicates otherwise or they are requested to do so by the primary unit and/or by supervisor.
- All authorised units in the pursuit shall operate under emergency conditions with red/blue lights along with use of sirens.

**Pursuit Intervention Technique:**

Definition of PIT:
By definition, the PIT manoeuvre is a pursuit tactic by which a pursuing car can force a fleeing car to abruptly turn sideways, causing the driver to lose control and stop.

The P.I.T. Maneuver is done at the Deputy’s Discretion, Extreme caution must be used. The P.I.T. is NOT TO BE PERFORMED during heavy traffic conditions. Damage to property or the loss of life will fall on the Deputy. Performing the technique.

The P.I.T. begins when the pursuing vehicle pulls alongside the fleeing vehicle so that the porting of the pursuer’s vehicle forward of the front wheels is aligned with the portion of the side, then steers sharply into the target. The Sheriff Deputy must also accelerate or his bumper with slide off of the suspect vehicle. As soon as the fleeing vehicle’s rear tires lose traction and start to skid. The pursuer continues to turn in the same direction until clear of the target. This is more of a committed lane change than an actual turn. The target will turn in the opposite direction, in front of the pursuer, and will spin out. The P.I.T. may be done from either side, but consideration must be given to where both care will end up. Typically, another cruiser will tail the P.I.T. unit to proceed with the arrest, while the put unit recovers its own control and completely stop the car. The P.I.T. does not immobilize the suspects vehicle and to prevent further flight, two cruisers need to pin the suspect between them front and rear.

**Vehicle Incidents:**
All (department) owned vehicles involved in any type of incident, Including the execution of P.I.T. maneuvers, are required to be returned to the Fleet Service Center at Paleto Bay Sheriff’s Office for an inspection prior to being returned to service. You may sign out a spare car to return to duty (11 Crown Vic). If the vehicle is operable, legal, and safe, it may be driven to the Service Center. Even if there is no visible Damage follow a minor MVA or P.I.T. our insurance provider still requires that the car be inspected by an authorized mechanic prior to being returned to service.

**Rifle Certification:**
Rifle certification allows you to use your rifle in needed.
Set the Trainee up on a yellow dot at Zancudo Airport. Go to one side, then allow the trainee to shoot for tyres and engine block. They can shoot in 3 shot bursts. Spray will result in immediate disqualification and they can be re-trained at a later date.
Drive past at 80 MPH allowing them to shoot for tyres
To pass:
- Must have 6 tyres in 3 runs. At least 1 Engine Block
To fail:
- Kill the driver
- They don’t get the necessary tyres and engine block.

**Hostage Situation:**
Always allow the highest ranking officer on scene to do the talking, Never shoot unless you have been given permission to do so.
Listen to whoever is the highest ranking officer on what the plan will be.
Always stay behind cover with your gun out.

**Usage of Spit Masks:**
Spit masks are temporary protective devices designed to prevent the suspect from biting and/or transferring or transmitting fluids to others.

Spit masks may be placed upon suspects in custody when the officer reasonably believes the person will bite or spit. They are generally used during application of a physical restraint, while the person is restrained, or during or after transport. Officers utilizing spit hoods should ensure that the spit hood is fastened properly to allow for adequate ventilation and that the restrained person can breathe normally. Officers should provide assistance during the movement of restrained individuals due to the potential for impaired or distorted vision on the part of the individual.

**Driving under the Influence:**
Driving under the influence (DUI), or driving while intoxicated (DWI), is a crime or offense of driving a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol or other drugs to a level that renders the driver incapable of operating a motor vehicle safely. it is a charge that is taken very seriously and punished accordingly.

**Breathalyser and Field Sobriety Testing:**
A breathalyzer or breathalyser is a device for estimating blood alcohol content (BAC) from a breath sample. Breath analyzers do not directly measure blood alcohol content or concentration, which requires the analysis of a blood sample. Instead, they estimate Blood alcohol content indirectly by measuring the amount of alcohol in one's breath. it is automatically illegal throughout the San Andreas to drive a vehicle with a Breath Alcohol Concentration (BrAC) of 0.08% or higher.

If you, for example, are alerted to driver's watery and bloodshot eyes, odor of alcohol, and mumble speech. It gives you a reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed which opens the door to further investigation, However it doesn't give you a probable cause to arrest a driver.

Before doing a Breathalyzer test on a person you shall first ask a driver's for permission and then ask them to complete a Field sobriety testing (Listed below). This test involves a set of tasks that would be difficult for a drunk driver to do. The operative may also carry out a chemical test to detect alcohol using a breath-alcohol screening device or a blood screening. These tests have been standardised by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, although breath tests are the most frequently used approach.

**Standardised Field Sobriety Tests:**

**Walk and Turn:**
- The purpose of this test, determined to be easily done by most unimpaired people, tests the driver's ability to complete tasks with divided attention. This is administered by requiring the driver to take nine steps, heel-to-toe, along a straight line; turn on one foot; and then return in the same manner in the opposite direction. This test measures the driver's ability to have divided attention and balance.

**One-Leg Stand:**
- Driver is asked to stand with one foot about six inches off the ground and count for 30 seconds. Swaying while balancing, using arms to balance, hopping or putting the foot down indicates possible intoxication.

**Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus:**
- Prior to administering the horizontal gaze nystagmus test, The operative should look to resting nystagmus, equal pupil size and equal tracking (that is, if both eyes can follow an object together). To administer this test you will have to hold a small object approximately 12-15 inches from driver's nose and slowly move it from one side to the other while driver has to follow the object with his/her eyes while keeping head still.

**Traffic Control and Road Accidents:**
Road accidents are to be fully investigated - Assistance must be offered to the injured, the rights of the involved parties must be protected, causes of the accident must be determined, and when a traffic law was violated, necessary evidence must be collected to prosecute the violator. Police Officers must investigate and provide assistance at each accident scene which is brought to their attention. This responsibility applies whether the operative is dispatched to the accident scene or is informed of the accident through a third party. The duties of a Police Officer at the scene of a road accident include, but are not limited to the procedures below:

- Providing aid to injured persons
- Closing road where the entrance of civilian cars is unnacceptable
- Gathering information from drivers / witnesses
- Ensuring safe pass for emergency services (EMS/FIRE)
- Re-Opening road after scene is safe and cleared
- If the vehicle(s) involved in an accident is/are in such a position as to obstruct the road, it is the duty of the Police Officer to ensure that the normal flow of traffic is restored as soon as possible.
