Everon Police Department: Public Overview
"Honore servimus, fortiter defendimus."
The Everon Police Department (EPD) stands as a beacon of safety and order on the island of Everon. Upholding the principle of being both friends and helpers, the EPD is committed to de-escalating conflicts, safeguarding lives, and consistently maintaining a professional demeanor.
General Conduct:
- Officers, when on duty, are mandated to be connected to the official Police Voice Channels.
- Uniforms are not just attire but a symbol of duty and responsibility. All officers are expected to wear the correct uniform during patrols or official gatherings.
- The Chain of Command isn't just a hierarchy but the backbone of our operations. While suggestions are welcome, the decision of the most senior officer present is final.
- Handcuffs, a tool of restraint, are to be used judiciously, ensuring the safety of all parties involved.
- The EPD's allegiance is to the safety of Everon's citizens. Cooperation or leniency towards entities that threaten this safety is strictly prohibited.
Public Order:
The EPD is dedicated to upholding and enforcing the laws of Everon, ensuring a harmonious and orderly environment for all its residents. Officers are trained to handle situations with tact and professionalism, always prioritizing the safety and well-being of the public.
Penal Code:
- Every citizen has the right to pay bond prior to incarceration, except in cases where they pose a significant threat. These are only to be issued by Lieutenants or any officer of a higher ranking.
- Justice is blind but fair. Charges are applied judiciously to ensure fairness and justice.
Undercover Unit:
- Undercover operations are delicate and require specific conditions. The formation of an undercover unit adheres to strict guidelines to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
Off-Duty Expectations:
- The badge might be off, but the duty remains. Off-duty officers, as representatives of the EPD, must abstain from any illegal activities.
- The sale of illegal items is strictly prohibited, irrespective of the officer's duty status.
Patrol Sectors:
The vast expanse of Everon is divided into various sectors for effective policing. Each sector has its designated radio frequency, ensuring seamless communication.
Grievances:
The EPD values transparency and accountability. Citizens with concerns regarding an officer's conduct can approach an instructor or chief of police in-roleplay. If neither is available, any on-duty officer can be approached to request the presence of an instructor or chief. Every grievance is addressed with the utmost seriousness and diligence.
