Hostage situations will never work in this server. In the past year, I have had one situation where criminals have not just shot me on sight whilst I am negotiating. In the past month, 6 attempts have been made with a 0% success rate.
Even if the police want to negotiate, which I always do. Trigger happy crims and trigger happy cops ruin it for everyone. If I can see at least a 50% success rate this could be considered. This server's majority of players do not care enough for roleplay to permit hostage situations, no matter how much I love them.
If people do start caring to roleplay for this aspect, this could be considered.
