Oh, Awesome! I wish I would've found that earlier, as before choosing to use the Game warden I thought about making one for the park Ranger. Now I'm glad I didn't as that would've been repetitive. Plus, that's awesome that Motown confirmed that! I hope that they take mine into consideration as well! But I could see that if this 'specific' job doesn't get added , that I would probably play as a ranger! Difference: However, I would also like for it to be said that in the case of Game Warden/Conservation Officer v. Park Ranger that if it came down to how the two operate differently, that the Warden has a bit more power over a Park Ranger. Not to tarnish your idea of course as I think it would be a lovely job to work as a ranger, but I just want it to be known that a CE works as a fully sworn police officer while a Ranger works for the National park service as a hired Ranger. Also, a Game Warden is in control of a larger area of land than a Park Ranger who is in control of a designated park! I just wanted to clarify @Herzog I'm not saying yours is bad, I just want to make sure that y'all know that there is a difference between the two! Edit: Also if anyone finds out that this or the Park Ranger are for sure going to be implemented, please tell me so I can make a change in my Bio and on my signature! Thank you so very much gents, and have a wonderful day!

Wow! That's awesome! I'm so glad that I took the hours to write this and it is actually getting acknowledged! That's truly amazing! Thank you so much @HairyGrenade

I'm sure it could be just as frightening hearing a Gator in the distance and the sound of dogs barking, as you try and run through the dense woodland only to get your leg caught in some poison ivy!

Thank you! Glad y'all like it!

I like you already. Welcome to the community!

I wouldn't think that they'd have it for a while after launch, but hey here's hoping. If regular Police are able to do this, then here's another idea: Give the regular cops some all-terrain vehicles! Especially since we won't have any helicopters to help scout the woods and if criminals decide to hide out in the thick of it, it will take forever for our cruisers to try and crawl out there. So in comes the idea of giving the regular law enforcement a few ATV's or some Gators (Or a Polaris, whatever you want to call it).

Oh well, sorry to see you leave friend. Though if I may make a suggestion, perhaps try Arma 3 or Arma 2 they're both all about military simulation. Plus there's server's that are completely dedicated to being 'Life.' I believe (I only have Arma ,2 so I cannot say for 3) that there are servers that even have both Military and Police forces active at the same time.

I suppose being that there's not gonna be any military whatsoever that that'd include the Coastguard? But anyhow, @TaurusBlood if you are interested in earning ranks and wearing a uniform, might I entice you to join the ranks of the Identity Law enforcement? I don't know if there's going to be boats in the game, although that would be cool, but if there was I'm convinced that the Police would have either a full department (If the game is set truly on an island, I could see the need for a Maritime Division or Department) devoted to patrolling the waters, or it may just have the water patrol be a part of the Department of Operations! Just food for thought anyhow!

Okay, I was watching gameplay of Arma 3 and it occurred to me how a seemingly forgotten little aspect could be useful to the endeavors of the Identity Law Enforcement. Now a disclaimer: that I do not own Arma 3 so I cannot say just how easily these UAV's handled nor how game changing they were. Now knowing from reading through the forum and how Identity is placed in a Modern Era, I would like to assume that drones would be available to the people of the island. So in turn my idea The Police force of Identity could have small aerial drones, piloted by a user from a remote location, that could be used to scout out enemy locations in a building or a compound. Maybe they could use them to track a suspicious shipment down a highway, and by not using a cruiser therefore not alerting the trucker allowing him to be traced back to his supplier. Now I know that this could seem ambitious and a little extravagant for a simple city police force to have. But from what I understand from reading the news, some cities in the U.S. have begun using these unmanned drones to do the same thing. As well, I could see criminals getting these and using them to plan heists or house invasions, or plot routes through the city. Maybe even use them to watch a rival gang from afar and track where they post their guys or where they hide their supplies, or whatever! But I could understand how y'all don't want this to be a life simulation over a military simulation, so you wouldn't want some military UAV drone flying around the city; Plus some people might cry privacy invasion since the drones can get almost anywhere. Just an idea, though, so take it as you will. (An example of a small aerial drone that could be deployed from the trunk of a Cruiser or by the SWAT team)

I don't think you would need to have a single person just for using the drone. You could just have a person who is a patrol cop as well as they are able to pilot a drone if the need arises!

I was thinking more along the line of just starting off with them, but that sounds way better for the Roleplay. Great input, thank you!

Uh. Ditto on what he said. Also if you could avoid doing the same to any of our cruisers, that would be great as well.

Not sure what we'll discuss, but I joined.

Sorry if I was unclear. I'm glad a dev came along to clear this up. Thank you @Paratus

In my opinion, I think that it will be more like a flag that appears next to your name. Not exactly telling the law enforcement that you have committed a murder, but more like it'll tell them that you've done something illegal.

The top one was a joke, my friend. Hence the face. But yes, you are right as to needing the probable cause even for a simple stop. Anyhow, I hope to see you in-game friend, hopefully on the right side of the law!

Exactly. But also, simply for the fact of me having to say "Okay, and pat down the left leg, and pat down the right leg." Is kind of tedious to have to do all the time and having to have probably cause gives me a pretty decent reason as to not have to do it. But really, It makes the RP a lot more fun for the criminal if I don't immediately say, "Okay sir now step out of the car," every time I pull someone over. Hopefully, I helped you out!

I mean, I can almost say for sure that if the RP is serious, Police officers will need probable cause before searching someone. Plus unless a major crime just occurred at the opening of the server, I don't think the entire island would be under a police state. So to answer that, Police officers who know their job will make sure that they have probable cause in order to search someone. However, I cannot speak for those who do not understand their position, so I would have to say that it would depend on the officer.

I mean I could see the usefulness in this. Having to have a Department of Transportation to go through and make sure the roads are cleared and salted during the winter could be an interesting job.

I mean being seventeen myself I really shouldn't say whether or not another teenager should be allowed into the PD. However personally I can admit that I have seen some very innovative and intelligent younger players in my game life, more so that when I encountered some of the older generation players coming along to troll them only because they believed that their fun was being interrupted. But honestly, I can see why some people wouldn't want a young player coming on, which could be solely because of their voice. As when I was younger I was treated with the same cautiousness because of my prepubescent tone, though being a rather intelligent kid I was able to sway them by showing that I studied before they interviewed me and made sure that I gave a good first impression. But in turn, I think we should at least show some kindness and let them show their prowess before we make assumptions and other conclusions of the like. But hey, that's just me, yall can think what you want to. Anyhow, Good day Ladies and Gents.
