2.3 Primary Sources (Case Law References)

• Tennessee v. Garner
  Deadly force may be used to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect only if the officer has a good faith belief that the suspect poses a serious threat of death or serious injury to officers or others (e.g., assault, death, hostage-taking).
• Miranda v. Arizona
  A suspect must be informed of their Miranda rights prior to any questioning or interrogation while in police custody.
• Terry v. Ohio
  An officer may perform a pat-down (frisk) if they believe:
  • The person has committed, is committing, or will commit a crime, and
  • The person is reasonably believed to be armed and dangerous.
• Pennsylvania v. Mimms
  The officer may order the driver out of the vehicle at any time during a stop.
  → Makes it a lawful order.

2.4 Starting & Ending Patrol

Starting Patrol

1. Go to Little Seoul PD (Postal 735).
2. Use /duty in-game.
3. Sign into CAD.
4. Notify dispatch or RTO that you are on duty:
   • Example: Callsign to dispatch: 10-8, 10-41.
5. Ensure your headtag is on and correctly shows your active department.

Ending Patrol

1. Drive back to the station and delete your vehicle.
2. Notify dispatch or RTO that you are going off duty:
   • Example: Callsign to dispatch: 10-7, 10-42.

2.5 Miranda Rights

Definition:
Miranda rights inform a suspect of their constitutional rights regarding questioning for a suspected crime.

Standard Miranda Warning Text:

“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, and have that attorney present during any questioning. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided to you by the state at no cost. You have the right to invoke these rights at any time. Do you understand your rights? Knowing your rights, do you wish to talk to me?”

Usage Guidelines:

• Read Miranda rights before questioning / interrogating a suspect in custody.
• Department policy:
  • Read rights upon arrest if:
    • The suspect is in police custody,
    • You intend to question them,
    • And you intend to use their statements in court.
• Statements made before custody can still be used if no questioning by officers occurred.

2.6 Arresting

Before Arrest

1. Make sure you correctly identify the suspect.
2. Ensure you have a valid legal reason for arrest.
3. Place them in handcuffs.

After Arrest

1. Read them their Miranda Rights.
2. Search their person and immediate area (bags, vehicle, room, etc.).
3. Place them in your patrol vehicle.
4. Write a detailed report in CAD.

If a driver is stopped for a minor traffic infraction (e.g. running a red light, speeding slightly, light revving) and requests a supervisor:

• You must promptly request a supervisor and suspend further action.
• If no LSPD/LC/HC supervisor is available, request one from SAHP, BCSO, or another department.
• Failure to comply may result in disciplinary action.

2.7 Setting Up CAD

• Ensure each recruit has CAD access:
  • If not, they must request permissions in the LSPD Discord.
• Recruits should set their Rank to: Recruit.
• Show an example CAD report, then have recruits complete a report on “Nathan Andrews”.

CAD Statuses:

• Available
  • Ready for calls. Must also follow RTO rules and announce 10-41 / 10-8.
• Busy
  • Handling something (traffic stop, booking, writing CAD).
  • Can still be dispatched if really needed. Must not be deafened in RTO.
• Unavailable
  • Not available for calls (e.g. 10-7, away from keyboard).
• Enroute
  • On the way to a scene or assigned call.
• On Scene
  • Arrived at the active scene or call.

(If CAD Login Fails) – Steps to create a character in CAD:

1. Register via Discord: https://cad.calirp.gg/
2. Verify if required (preferably with 2FA).
3. Go to “Citizen” and create a civilian (no single-word names).
4. Create Officer:
   • Callsign Symbol 1 = full callsign, e.g. 2S-18
   • Callsign Symbol 2 = Space
5. Go to Officer/EMS/FD → Dashboard.
6. Click “Go On Duty”.
7. Press yourself “10-8 | ON DUTY” so dispatch can see you.

If the “officer” tab is missing, contact High Command for permission updates.

Reporting in CAD:

• Teach recruits how to create:
  • Arrest reports
  • Citations
  • Vehicle citations
  • BOLOs
  • Warrants
  • Use of force reports
• Emphasize:
  • They must get Corporal+ signature for CAD reports (show the Discord channel/format).
  • After a CAD report is complete:
    1. Go to #signature-needed channel in LSPD Discord.
    2. Fill out the provided format and tag a supervisor+.
    3. Supervisor reviews the report and responds.
    4. If corrections are needed, they open a thread; recruit must fix errors and inform them.
  • Every arrest, citation, incident, etc. requires a report.
  • Missing reports can lead to disciplinary action.

Self-Dispatch Rule:

• When a dispatcher is active:
  • No self-dispatching to calls.
  • No self-attaching to active calls (but you may request attachment if nearby).

CAD Registration Requirements:

• Ensure the following are registered in CAD:

3.1 Weapons Training

Emphasis on de-escalation, less-than-lethal options, and safe deployment.

TO Screenshare

TO should:

• Share screen and show the De-escalation Pyramid (not escalation).
• Explain non-lethal options (officer presence, commands, etc.).
• Walk through the chart from bottom to top.

Less-Than-Lethal Definition

Less-than-lethal means less likely to kill a person but can still be deadly under certain conditions.

Taser (Less-Than-Lethal)

• Give at least one warning. If no compliance, you may deploy the taser.
• Call out: “Taser! Taser!” when firing.
• If prongs connect, you can re-tase by aiming and pressing Page Up.
• Reload taser with /reloadtaser:
  • Do not reload mid-scene unless necessary; do it back at your vehicle.
• For a dry stun (point-blank): aim and press X to tase at close range.

Do NOT tase near ledges/elevated surfaces or in water at ankle depth or deeper.

Bean Bag Shotgun (Less-Than-Lethal)

• Give at least one clear warning.
• Announce: “Firing bean bags!” so other units don’t mistake it for lethal rounds.
• Recommended minimum usage range: 10 feet, unless reacting to an extreme life-or-death situation.
• Never aim at:
  • Head / Neck
  • Groin
  • Directly over the heart
  • Abdomen

These can cause serious injury or death.

Post-Deployment Requirements

• Bean bag rounds and tasers are intended to disable, not kill.
• After using them, suspects must be treated medically.
• To remove taser prongs, type /removebarbs in chat.

3.1.5 Rules of Engagement (ROE)

Defines when it is acceptable to engage a target. Violations can lead to major disciplinary action.

Scenarios:

No Imminent Threat

• Suspect has a gun to a hostage’s head but is communicating and negotiating.
• Suspect threatens to shoot the hostage but is still communicating to get out.
• Suspect drops hostage at the door and attempts to flee in a vehicle.

Imminent Threat

• Suspect has a gun to the hostage’s head and is non-communicative.
• Suspect rejects negotiations and fails to comply with commands.
• Suspect decamps from a 10-80 with a gun in hand, refusing to drop the weapon.

TOs should read this entire section to recruits to clarify who and when they may engage.

3.2 Vehicle Techniques

Safe and controlled vehicle operations under different response codes.

When driving in code, always remember some drivers may not see or hear your emergency equipment.

Code 1

• Normal response.
• Obey traffic laws and speed limits.
• No lights, no sirens.

Code 2

• Lights on, no siren.
• Faster response.
• Clear intersections with caution; may tap siren or horn.

Code 3

• Lights and sirens.
• Highest priority response.
• Clear intersections safely; keep speeding controlled.

J-Turns

• Used to quickly change direction in emergencies.
• TO demonstrates once, then recruits practice (each side once).

Roadblocks

• One police vehicle = one lane blocked.
• Use police barriers to block two lanes (max 2 barriers per vehicle).
• Requirements:
  • Emergency lights on.
  • Officer out of the vehicle.
  • Do not hide directly behind patrol car.
  • Use subdivision assets when available.
• Demonstrate a proper roadblock with patrol vehicle + barriers (no cones).

Do not actually ram TO vehicles; you may demonstrate how a barrier stops a vehicle.

3.3 Traffic Stop (10-11)

Standardized process for vehicle stops, callouts, and documentation.

Initial Setup

• Angle your vehicle and front tires to protect yourself and the suspect.
• Run a plate check in CAD or via dispatch before contact.
• If the vehicle is:
  • Unregistered
  • Stolen
  • Linked to serious priors
  → request an additional unit before approach.

RTO Callout Example

Officer: “[Callsign] to dispatch.”

Dispatch: “Go for dispatch.”

Officer: “10-11 when ready.”

Dispatch: “Go for your 10-11.”

Officer: “10-11 at postal 1000, Great Ocean Highway, on a two-door black sedan, occupied times one, no additionals needed.”

Also teach how to call a 10-11 with no active dispatch (RTO only).

On-Foot Contact

• Approach passenger side.
• Be polite; introduce yourself and your department.
• Explain the reason for the stop.
• Request license and registration (first & last name).

Back at the Patrol Car

• Run the name in CAD; double-check spelling.
• Check for prior tickets, arrests, warrants, and firearms.
• If name doesn’t match the registered owner, note and question the driver.

Citation / Final Contact

• Issue citation or verbal/written warning; list penal code and reason.
• Re-approach passenger side, explain action taken, and return ID.
• Instruct driver: “Wait until my lights are turned off before pulling away.”

Training Exercise

• TOs/TAs run one full demonstration 10-11.
• Each recruit runs a 10-11 using RTO.
• Recruits complete a CAD report for “Nathan Andrews” if required.

3.4 Code 5 (High-Risk Stops – Non-Violent & Violent)

High-risk felony stop procedures, formation, and command structure.

Formation (“M” Shape)

• Form an “M” shape with patrol vehicles.
• Middle officer:
  • Director of the stop.
  • Holds non-lethal Bean Bag shotgun.
• Left & right officers:
  • Hold lethal weapons.
  • Use ARs for known lethal threats; handguns otherwise.

Verbal Commands (Director of Stop)

Use Shout (Z key). Commands must be loud, clear, and authoritative.

1. “Driver, honk your horn twice if you can hear my voice.”
2. “Turn off the vehicle. Take the keys out of the ignition and throw them out the window.”
3. “With your left hand, reach outside and open the driver door.”
4. “Keep both hands up and visible.”
5. “Slowly step out of the vehicle, facing away from the sound of my voice.”
6. “With your hands up, slowly walk backwards toward the sound of my voice until I say stop.”
7. “Stop.”
8. “Slowly drop to your knees and cross your ankles.”

If suspect doesn’t comply, use less-lethal. If they produce a weapon or show harmful intent, use lethal as appropriate.

Handcuff & “On Your Six”

• Director (non-lethal) moves to handcuff suspect.
• Once secure and director returns behind cover:
  • Left officer moves behind Code 5 lineup to join right officer.
  • Left officer states: “On your six.”

Vehicle Clear

• Both officers move together to clear suspect’s vehicle.
• Stay on the same side to avoid crossfire.
• Open doors and search as necessary.

3.5 Vehicle Pursuit (10-80) & 10-70 Procedures

Structure for vehicle pursuits, foot pursuits, and PIT maneuvers.

10-80 – Vehicle Pursuit

1. Call the 10-80 into RTO.
2. Request additional units to join.
3. Until backup arrives:
   • Maintain visual contact.
   • Call out 10-20 (location) and direction of travel.

Unit Roles

• Primary unit:
  • Closest to suspect vehicle.
  • Maintains visual contact.
• Secondary unit:
  • Handles radio callouts (10-20, direction, behavior).
• Additional units:
  • Provide traffic control.
  • Stand ready to replace Primary/Secondary.

TEU / HEAT & Limits

• If TEU/HEAT are available, they take Primary.
• Allow faster units to pass on your left when safe.
• Limit pursuits to about 5 units; others handle remaining duties.

General Pursuit Rules

• Stay in control of your vehicle; safety is priority.
• Call off pursuit if unsafe.
• Avoid driving in oncoming lanes; if you do, return when safe.
• Use proper intersection clearing techniques.
• Minimize vehicle damage and maintain safe following distance.

10-70 – Foot Pursuit Procedures

1. Call 10-70 into RTO.
2. Request additional units.
3. Give suspect description:
   • Clothing style & colors.
   • Shoes (rarely changed).
4. Once close enough, attempt tackle or tase if necessary.
5. If tased, cuff and proceed with detention/arrest steps.

PIT Maneuver Procedures

Pursuit Intervention Technique (PIT) is used to stop vehicles that pose a serious risk to the public.

1. Request a PIT timer in RTO via dispatch or highest-ranking officer.
2. Confirm road, weather, and traffic conditions are safe.
3. Inform all units of PIT attempt.
4. If conditions are safe and speed is under ~150 mph:
   • Use push bar to strike the rear quarter panel (usually back-right tire area).
5. After spinout, additional units cautiously box in suspect vehicle.

Training Exercise

• Demonstrate a 10-80 with RTO callouts.
• Each recruit spends ~1 minute as Primary and Secondary.
• After PIT, suspect flees → becomes 10-70; recruits lead foot pursuit with less-lethal.
• TA acting as suspect:
  • No weapons or violent acts toward recruits.
  • No climbing buildings or spawning vehicles.
  • Warn that continued running will result in a tase.

3.6 Use of Force

This section should cover the force continuum, proportionality, reporting requirements, and supervisor review process in your full SOP.

Ensure recruits understand:

• Force must always be reasonable, necessary, and proportional.
• All significant uses of force require documentation and, where policy requires, a supervisor review.
• Deadly force is a last resort, consistent with case law such as Tennessee v. Garner.

3.7 Signal 11

Operation of the Wraith radar and plate reader system, for conducting speed traps. (Signal 11)

• Access the Wraith system by pressing F5.
• TO should screenshare to demonstrate this.

1. When the remote appears, press “Toggle Display” to show radar.
2. Press “PWR” on the left to power radar on.
3. Adjust radar settings as desired.

Plate Reader

1. Click “Plate Reader” on the bottom left of the remote.
2. Click “Toggle Display” to show plates being scanned.
3. Use scanned data to identify hits, verify registration, and assist with traffic enforcement.

Walk recruits through the full workflow via screenshare and live practice.
