Suggestion Title: Ladder entrance for the PD
Suggestion Description: I actually have no clue who ever used the PD rear fire exit before other than having the purpose of quickly escaping life threatening situations such as a PD raid. But even then it just does not ever happen, the entire PD runs face first into danger instead of fleeing. Non-combatants usually find cover or hide in some corner like the meeting room or the evidence locker.

Criminals cannot make use of it since the ladder is not an actual ladder surface or object, you can only jump down.

Balance wise I think it would be another good addition and even out of harms way of the public to initiate a PD raid as the public never goes behind the PD or the park to begin with (touching grass is harmful). Raiding from this route also gives you another challenge of lockpicking a total of 2 doors and an object (potentially 4 but we'll get to that).

In order to get the ladder to fall down you should be able to shoot a lock or crowbar it. This would encourage the use of silenced weapons or one that is very silent in general like the Walther PPK, forcing you to take a pistol and a larger primary with you.
Your next obstacle is the fire exit door, followed by the locker/armoury door and another set of double doors that can be locked by the PD (but is usually left open, that's why I said potentially if we include the double doors and lock if crowbarred)

Why should this be added?:
-An alternative to enter the PD for both criminals and PD alike (if the ladder is down and not reset).
-More hidden and less public interference or potential victims.

What negatives could this have?:
-AFK cops get mowed down for just sitting at the locker room.
-There is no real reason for you to be at the second floor as your objective is the jail cells.

What problem would this suggestion solve?: Making the ladder exit (now entrance?) actually useful as a quick entry point for PLPD and criminals alike when the ladder is down.
This would probably be a more hidden alternative instead of going guns blazing from the rear entrance or the main entrance which are all visible from the public and any passer by.

IMO There would need to be changes regarding PD spawn. Worst case scenario, you've been black screened for 10 minutes as an officer and now get to wait 10 more minutes with NLR because you got spawn killed.

Maybe possibly change the placement of pd spawn but it would give silly scenarios as well
 



the purpose of quickly escaping life threatening situations such as a PD raid
This is the only reason it was added. The PD was designed so that anyone raiding PD would have no reason to go and kill AFK cops (which was a big issue in V5). Officers spawn upstairs, out of the way, and can use that exit to leave the PD in cases of the lobby being held by criminals.
