[CENTER][SIZE=5][B][COLOR=#ffff00]<::||[/COLOR] [COLOR=#C0C0C0]I. Introduction[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ffff00]||::>[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]
Congratulations. You have been chosen for advancement into the [B]City 45[/B] detachment of the [B]Civil Protection[/B]. Starting today and continuing forward, you shall stand as one of the few who preserve, protect, and enforce the everlasting peace provided to us by our Benefactors, the Universal Union. Contained within this handbook are multiple guides and tops concerning various situations that you can and will face during your employment as a [B]Civil Protection Unit[/B].

[SIZE=5][B][COLOR=#ffff00]<::||[/COLOR] [COLOR=#C0C0C0]II. Your Standing Orders[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ffff00]||::>[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]
Your service within the [B]Civil Protection[/B] consists of a single standing order: uphold the law and maintain order within your assigned precinct. Regardless of what either your command elements and local [B]Civil Administration[/B] officials decree, this single order remains paramount to your duties as a [B]Civil Protection Unit[/B]. You must never allow the sociostability of your precinct to drop into unsafe levels, for it opens the doors to malignant thoughts and activity.

[SIZE=5][B][COLOR=#ffff00]<::||[/COLOR] [COLOR=#C0C0C0]III. The Basics of Service[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ffff00]||::>[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]
You are expected to arrive at your shifts on-time and maintain a presence within your assigned precinct unless called for an alternative duty at the behest of a superior. You are allocated two official break periods during your shift. During these breaks, you may either rest or collect your allocated meal ration from within your local [B]Combine Nexus[/B]. While marked as active and on-duty (10-8, officially) any superior unit may make temporary changes to your standing directive which may include but is not limited to any of the following:

1. Installing and maintaining a district hardpoint.
2. Forming a patrol team to inspect citizen workplaces and housing blocks.
3. Closing access to select districts to bolster regional security.
4. Oversee a citizen work group under the authority of the [B]City 45 Administration[/B].

When occupied and incapable of receiving work orders, mark yourself as busy (10-6, officially). When resigning from your shift, mark yourself as off-duty (10-7, officially). Failure to do so compromises the effectiveness of Dispatch and other assets within your precinct.

[SIZE=5][B][COLOR=#ffff00]<::||[/COLOR] [COLOR=#C0C0C0]IV. The Initiative of Recruitment[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ffff00]||::>[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]
Your primary objective as a newly recruited unit is to train with other ground units, gain a thorough understanding of the [B]Civil Protection[/B], and learn the methods used internally to maintain order within the Union. As a recruit, you may regularly be interrupted during normal tasking and be requested to participate in group training sessions that will allow superiors and command elements to evaluate your progress towards advancement within the [B] Civil Protection[/B] and [B]Combine Civil Authority[/B].

Command elements who believe you are well equipped and ready may offer you a position as a junior unit within a permanent squad. You may also show your initiative and approach command elements when you believe you are ready to advance further. Inactivity during training results in recruit recycling two weeks after the initial starting date of employment.

[SIZE=5][B][COLOR=#ffff00]<::||[/COLOR] [COLOR=#C0C0C0]V. Criminality and Contraband[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ffff00]||::>[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]
Compliance with authority is paramount within the [B]Combine Civil Authroity[/B] and [B]Universal Union[/B]. You are expected to uphold this standard above all else and ensure that citizens under the Union remain compliant to the laws and doctrines established under Our Benefactors. Dissent and inaction breed malcompliance and anticivil behavior, both pose a severe risk to sociostability. Always treat citizens who show this kind of antisocial behavior as potential threats to the Union, deal with them swiftly and physically.

The following is a general overview of items prohibited to possess within the cities without permission of the [B]Civil Protection[/B] or [B]Civil Administration[/B]:

1. Anti-Union materials, symbology, music, and writing.
2. Wireless communications technology, radio devices, and computer technology.
3. Articles of clothing that obscures the wearer's identity.
4. Protective clothing and combat oriented body armor.
5. Ballistic weapons, blunt weapons, and lethally sharp objects.

[SIZE=5][B][COLOR=#ffff00]<::||[/COLOR] [COLOR=#C0C0C0]VI. Citations and Detainment[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ffff00]||::>[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]
Crime, inaction, and counter-behavior warrant action from the [B]Civil Protection[/B].  Instances of malignancy within the population must be dealt with swiftly and physically. Citations and re-education are the preferred methods of deterrent within the [B]Combine Civil Authority[/B]. The physical interaction between the unit and malignant citizen is intended to associate pain and suffering with counter-behavior, rendering any repeat offenses unlikely. This method of handling criminal behavior is also quick, check, and an option to all units within your detachment of the [B]Civil Protection[/B]. The full extent and details of any citation are, however, up to the ranking unit at the scene. So long as the punishment is delivered and the suspect citizen deterred, the work of the [B]Civil Protection[/B] is complete.

The [B]Combine Civil Authority[/B] also operates a detailed record and detainment system reserved for the highest levels of anti-civil activity. In accordance, the only units who can order a detainment are command elements and local [B]Civil Administration[/B] leaders. Those detained receive questioning by a senior unit in your squad before being turned over to a member of the [B]Civil Outreach[/B] program for reintegration into society. All instances where detainment occurs require an immediate update to the accused's civil records. Otherwise, ranking units determine if a records update is necessary for minor citations.

[SIZE=5][B][COLOR=#ffff00]<::||[/COLOR] [COLOR=#C0C0C0]VII. Radio Communication[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ffff00]||::>[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]
All members of the [B]Combine Civil Authority[/B] are provided a preprogrammed handheld communications device to allow for internal communications amongst one another. These radios are incredibly valuable and should never be allowed into the hands of a non-member party outside the [B]CCA[/B]. Loss of your radio may result in severe punishment at the behest of your commanding officer.

Practice the following policies when communicating over your radio:

1. Identify yourself in all transmissions.
2. Do not interrupt ongoing communications without a priority message.
3. Address units over the radio by the first three digits of their CID.
4. Do not transmit sensitive information over the radio unless necessary.
5. Do not host unnecessary or tedious conversations over the radio.
6. Be mindful of your surroundings when transmitting and prevent leaks at all costs.

Your radio is your lifeline and primary means of contacting fellow units. Do not let your biosignal do the talking for you as it may then be too late. Below are examples of common radio communications taken directly from Dispatch transcripts.

[SIZE=5][B][COLOR=#ffff00]<::||[/COLOR] [COLOR=#C0C0C0]VIII. Breaching and Room Clearning[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ffff00]||::>[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]
A breach is a controlled entry into a potentially hostile situation with a team of three to five units. In most situations, your team will consist of: a leader, one to three pointmen, and a breacher. The team leader must supervise the controlled entry and ensure the safety of their units without compromising the mission at hand. Please note that there is not one correct way to approach a breach as the environment may or may not allow of alterations to the standard procedure.

[SIZE=5][B][COLOR=#ffff00]<::||[/COLOR] [COLOR=#C0C0C0]IX. Patrol Teams[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ffff00]||::>[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]
Sociostability requires proactivity and action. To enforce the laws set forth by the Civil Administration units are encouraged to form and maintain small sub-squads of units, formally recognized as a Patrol Team (abbreviated PT in radio communication). These groups will typically consist of two to six units and are used to influence a show of force when patrolling areas of usually high criminal activity. In most situations but not all, the team leaders will be a senior unit (classes 02 and 01) and their team will be registered over dispatch as “PT-XXX” where the XXX represented the first three digits of their CID.

Example:
01.31384 will be the leading unit of PT-313. 02.93214 will be the leading unit of PT-932.

[SIZE=5][B][COLOR=#ffff00]<::||[/COLOR] [COLOR=#C0C0C0]X. Citizen Stops and Checkpoints[/COLOR] [COLOR=#ffff00]||::>[/COLOR][/B][/SIZE]
A citizen stop is the number one method utilized by the Combine Civil Authority to keep the local population in check. This includes controlled stops where units set up a checkpoint between districts to search citizens as they pass through and random stops where an individual unit may quickly flag a citizen down from their day-to-day functions to search and validate their work credentials. In most cases, typically to improve the efficiency of the stop, units are encouraged to utilize a quick pat-down styled search of the individual to reveal any contraband items on their person.

[B]CID Validation[/B]
When performing a stop, units may be required to check and validate the ID card of a citizen. This process may be long, tedious, and have no positive results. It is advised that units only engage in a CID Check when required to by a superior officer.

Units do not possess the means to check IDs on the go and are required to do one of two things. A, they may radio in a request to a unit stationed at the local Nexus to check with a nearby terminal to access the citizen’s record. B, they may access a nearby terminal if one is present in the immediate area. From there, the citizen’s record may be searched and the nature of their work validated.[/CENTER]
