PLPD | Currently proposed changes

[Momo]

These are the larger changes as they have been discussed with the senior staff team and the development team. As for now none of these changes are set to happen within the next two months as major work has to be done to plpd.online before any changes can be made to the PD. Until then all idea, suggestions, criticisms and questions are welcome as long as they are constructive of course.

[Double J]

Internal Affairs

• May not attend CC meetings

So if I am part of IA, I can no longer attend the CC Meetings? Why is that?

 

[nutrient10]

It probably just means IA command, not investigators, but idk tbh

 

[Double J]

Would make sense.

• Create an in game rank that has the tools to host these events
  • Potentially temporary? Granting tool?
• See if there are people in settings up these events
  • Don't have to be in command
• May be approved by the chiefs

Maybe allow Patrol/Traffic/TFU Trainers to set them up, but they must be SGT+?

 

[Bert]

So how can we expect the ranking within divisions to change? I.E will TFU and RTU be lead by LT’s? Will dispatch have a head?

 

[platinum_miner]

So does this mean we are going back to the old system of being a PO and patrolling with higher ups before getting officer?? If so that's great I'm just curious no criticism!

 

[Mim]

I’m pretty sure this is all members of IA - due to the fact they look into complaints therefore complicates the process. The people looking into the complaints shouldn’t be the ones voting. However I’m not sure @Momo

 

[Bert]

No

 

[Super_]

PO is currently a rank however it can only be given to people who's blacklist appeal have been accepted early or the CC voting for the officer to be demoted to PO. I'd imagine the system will be staying the same

 

[platinum_miner]

Thanks for the clarity!

 

[nutrient10]

• Captain
• Lieutenant
  • Command members

This doesn't seem to be changing

 

[Momo]

This isn't something I agree with and is also marked in the documents I took this out of as it is imo unnecessary. Besides if this were to be implemented currently it would cause major issues.

 

[Super_]

Dispatch will most likely remain automated.

 

[Bnjemann]

“Kill house

We had this, and it fucking sucked, no one liked it and it was useless.

• Automed applications

Say what now

 

[Momo]

Ranks aren't gonna change much as that doesn't really change anything, for now only SSGT will be removed. dispatch will not have a head for now but might in the future

 

[Tyla Jai]

This is ridiculous, not a single positive change for traffic here and I would like to know if we have any say or vote in stopping these proposed changes because clearly the Head of Traffic doesn't. I can see some positive change for TFU and supervisors but everything else is awful.

 

[Super_]

With the automated application, you will go through one stage and if you pass that, you'll be whitelisted as TFU after a TFU trainer has verified it. Same as Dispatch applications currently

 

[Mim]

With automated applications, as much as I see them cool it takes all the human interaction out of the PD. In my opinion, training to get in should stay with trainers.
With this update you’ll be able to easily get let’s say TFU and then if you do something wrong its up to them to sort it out afterwards, surely we should prevent bad quality before they get in?

 

[Momo]

Kill house wasn't my idea. but if it is implemented it will get a proper kill house developed by @TinySlayer
