Liquid Australian RP Police Handbook

This handbook sets out expected conduct, procedures and roleplay standards for police officers on Liquid Australian RP. Police should use professional NSW-style language and decision-making while keeping all actions fair for roleplay.

Officers must follow lawful RP orders from higher ranks. Command issues should be raised through the chain of command or staff ticket. AFP ranks are specialist/federal RP positions and should only be assigned by command or staff approval.

• Stay professional with civilians, suspects, EMS, Fire, staff and other police.
• Do not abuse police powers, gear, MDT access or job permissions.
• Do not use police equipment while off duty unless approved.
• Do not bait criminals into crime or camp illegal locations without clear RP reason.
• Use fair RP before searches, arrests, raids, force or seizures.
• Police corruption is not allowed unless approved by staff.

Radio must be clear, short and professional. Use locations, travel direction, vehicle details and threat level when needed.

Example: “Dispatch, 101, show me 10-8. I will be patrolling Sydney CBD.”

• Patrol visible public areas but do not harass civilians.
• Respond to emergency calls quickly and safely.
• Do not ignore active calls to chase minor issues unless directed by a supervisor.
• Supervisors should allocate units to scenes, pursuits, prison transports and high-risk calls.
• Use marked vehicles for general patrol unless undercover work has command approval.

A traffic stop requires a valid reason, such as speeding, dangerous driving, vehicle defect, BOLO match, street racing, suspicious vehicle behaviour, illegal parking or involvement in a crime.

Officers must explain the RP reason for a search. Searches should not be random.

Search wording: “You are being searched due to reasonable suspicion of carrying items linked to the robbery.”

Force must be reasonable and necessary. Officers should use the lowest effective force level first unless there is an immediate threat.

• Call 10-80 and give location, vehicle description and direction of travel.
• Drive safely and avoid unnecessary ramming.
• PIT manoeuvres require supervisor approval where possible and must only be done when safe.
• Do not continue a pursuit if it becomes unrealistic or causes excessive danger to the public.
• Use spikes, roadblocks and air units only when reasonable for the scene.

House, warehouse, gang property and business searches require a valid warrant unless an active emergency creates immediate risk to life.

• Evidence can include weapons, drugs, dirty money, CCTV, photos, dashcam, bodycam, fingerprints, bullet casings and witness statements.
• Evidence seized from suspects must be tied to a report where possible.
• Police must not take legal civilian items unless they are connected to a crime scene.
• Major scenes should include an incident report and bodycam note.

Police should always aim for strong roleplay, fair outcomes and professional Sydney / NSW style policing. The goal is good RP for police, criminals, civilians and emergency services.
