NYPD Announcements & Notices

[Rainart]

Greetings New York!

As Peak moves towards using the forum much more than previous versions the NYPD has decided to follow suit.


This thread will strictly be for NYPD related announcements. These announcements will be but not limited to:

------------

- Any changes and updates in laws and the reasonings behind them.
- Any changes and updates in NYPD-related rules and the reasonings behind them.
- Any changes to the structure of the NYPD.
- Any hirings, dismissals, promotions and demotions within NYPD.
- Updates about the opening and closure of NYPD applications.
- Anything else senior officers see fit to be made public.

---------------

We hope this assists with communication with the civilians of New York and the NYPD.

This thread will be closed for replies, only posts will be made by relevant seniors in regards to updates so make sure to check back each time a new post is made.

Regards,
Chief of Police

NYPD Update #1 - May 18th 2020
----

Cop Applications

----​

Thank you to over 100 of you who have applied, and those who plan on applying in the next 24 hours. The NYPD has had to make a tough decision in regards to how we will start when New York opens its doors and this is the plan:

• There will be no team aside from myself at the start of Peak and interviews will be held in the first few hours upon release to determine my first team.​
• Those with the best interview scores within their region will be selected and hired within 24 hours.​
• If you are unavailable for the first few hours upon release then you will miss the initial hiring period.​
• Successful applicants will be contacted to confirm their availability in the coming days before release.​

The choice to run with no team to start off was made for a few reasons;

• Users will prefer to use the gym, farm or explore New York to begin with.
• Passive Mode means newer users are safer to do non-criminal activities.
• I want my team to be fairly chosen as opposed to picking users to instantly be a cop.
  
  
  Reminder: This is all subject to change and any changes will be notified here.

Friendly reminder: Applications close in about 24 hours! Please apply at police.peakrp.com

New York City Laws and Regulations

----
​

The city laws have been posted!

https://forums.peakrp.com/threads/nypd-city-laws.248/#post-1734

With this comes a lot of changes in regards to punishments and crime so please read it carefully. Ignorance is no excuse.
The wanted system has changed to minutes as opposed to stars, with a 45 minute maximum jail time being implemented.

As you accumulate charges your wanted time will go up as shown below. Once your wanted timer is over 15 minutes you will no longer be eligible for a ticket and taken straight to jail.

Drugs is also now a collective charge which includes the old UTI, Possession and Supplying charges. This was a change made to streamline the charge and remove charges that were rarely used in previous versions. A drugs charge can now mean either harvesting, using, trading etc and is not stackable.

-----

​

Any questions or queries I am contactable via Discord or forum message as per usual and will endeavour to reply ASAP.

Just a few rules & law changes before release
20/05/2020
​

New rule:

----

New law:
Obstruction:
- Attempting to or successfully lockpicking a cuffed user regardless of wanted status.

Old law:

New law:

----

These changes were made mainly for clarification purposes, and others were made due to them being outdated in V5.
999/GA rule change was made in fairness of the users to avoid cops snitching in ga whilst off-duty. They must now use 999 so that criminals are aware they are being called in.

 

[Eden]

Law changes, rule changes, clarification, new team!
23/05/2020

​

Hello New York!

Just want to introduce you to your team as of 23/05/2020 that will be protecting the streets to the best of their ability.
Please keep in mind that times are very busy (over 500 online users!) and our team cannot attend every single call or make the correct judgement every single time; however if you feel you are hard done by feel free to use the COMPLAINT SECTION of the forum!

----

Also a few more law and rule changes:

Copassault - 6 minutes
This charge now includes hitting Shelly & Phil(jailbreak bots); and Shelly auto-charges cop assault after 3 stuns & autocuff.

Unlawful Logout - 15 minutes
This charge now includes "The officer MUST see the log-out bubble and be in pursuit of you at the time."

Assault - 3 minutes
This charge now includes "Hitting a bot is not considered assault"

EDIT: 23/05/2020

Obstruction - 6 minutes
- Push/pulling an officer currently escorting; or in pursuit of a criminal.

Rule Changes:

​

- Stardust: Officers are permitted to be on-duty; patrol and arrest in the room in which Stardust takes place. This is a passive event.
- Officers will not attempt or successfully arrest users in the Full Moon, Brawl, Team Brawl etc. rooms
- No officer will use god protection or passive mode on-duty, you are permitted to be passive off duty only
- Officers are still considered in pursuit even if you enter/leave room rapidly ("room juke") them (in regards to turfs)

----

I have also received a few complaints regarding officers charging for 999 abuse; I have sent a global message to them to refrain from using this charge and to believe civilians as much as possible unless absolutely certain. Hopefully this will reduce the amount of charges deemed to be "unfair"

I will also be drafting an official complaint form to use in regards to posting complaints so please use that!


Kind Regards
Eden
Chief of Police

NYPD Applications open, staff changes, law update​

Hello all,

To start with; a few staff changes occurred within the first few days. Unfortunately Admire, Dior, Animal and kay left us all for separate reasons and we thank them for there time within the NYPD!

We have also introduced Cage as an EU cadet so welcome!

---

Only the one law change this update;

Copmurder from 9 minutes to 12 minutes

This change was made to make it easier on the NYPD with the 15 minute auto jail rule. Usually copmurder accompanies copassault or another charge of some kind which would accumulate to 15m+ meaning jail regardless. This charge still remains auto-jail if standalone.

----

In other news: NYPD Applications are now open with priority for NA and AU applicants! EU will also be accepted but not as many!

I implore all people experienced OR INEXPERIENCED to apply as my current team is more than willing to train and help those not familiar with cop commands; or cop in general on roleplay. If you feel like you would like to even learn how to be cop then feel free to apply!

Same process as before, an interview with 7 questions. A minimum of 5/7 to even be considered! So get reading and studying those laws and rules!

Good luck all and thank you!

Departure & new future
​

Hello all!

It is a sad day for me and a happy day for most of you that I announce this will be my last post as Chief of NYPD! I feel like the framework has been set up for the future of the NYPD in V5. With this comes a new bright future for the NYPD in which Chief Maxima is now unveiled.

He has been taking over a large portion of the senior duties in the past few days anyway and has done an AMAZING job along side the other senior officers! This means Maxima will be the face of all complaints, applications and NYPD related duties as I ride into the sunset.

The NYPD team is stronger than ever, and the future is exciting so I am wishing everyone in the NYPD the best of luck!

----

As for rules and law changes.. Nothing to note since last update!

Thank-you!

Resignation​

Thanks for the time that Eden and staff gave me to be deputy chief & chief of the NYPD. It wasn't a long ride but I enjoyed the first few weeks of Peak as cop. I always have been a toxic person and some of you might know that from how I behaved on V4. I can ensure you that I changed but the recent events within NYPD made me really frustrated. I started realising how the majority of people on Peak behave, and that I do no longer want to be an active part of that. For once I will be honest again and let you know why I resign and why I leave in this way.

Toxic people
Since the start there have been toxic people in the team which make it their daily task to make people resign. For those congratulations, I do not only resign I also quit Peak because of your behaviour.

Not gonna miss the majority of you but some (and they know who I'm talking about)... I love you.

Maxime
