Since it’s been quite a while since DOT and DPW have received updates, with the last being the impound lot and side loading garbage truck, I believe many of us can agree that it’s time. I have some small suggestions that’d be great additions to the game.
-
Updated Uniforms
- Both departments lack winter wear, being the most we have is a long sleeve shirt. Jackets, and especially updated uniforms, would be nice. I’ve created mock ups of some uniforms that’d be nice to see in game. Majority of departments has received updated uniforms, DOT got 2 uniforms then forgotten about, and DPW hasn’t gotten anything.
-
Hard hats with various colors. The selection could be similar to the SCFD helmet rank selection. Maybe with the addition of a mounted flashlight?
- This would boost roleplay and quality of life. DOT has a service prioritization model, which results in employees often changing roles. Rather than having to reset to equip a hard hat, one can just be toggled on and off. Great for roadwork, dangerous tows, and bucket truck roleplays.
-
Ability to hold R to rotate rather than spam it.
- This doesn’t apply to only DOT, but to everyone that has placeables. One of the most annoying things is having to spam R to rotate an item, especially for DOT’s stabilizers and loading guides. Then if you accidentally rotate too far, you have to start all over again.
-
Addition of snatch blocks to towing (if possible).
- In real life, tow operators utilize a piece of equipment called snatch blocks. These are act like a pulley for the winch and secure to points on the bed. These are used for pulling vehicles from awkward angles and whatnot. Not necessary, but adds some change and spice to our current towing system.
-
Gate buttons inside impound lots.
I’m not familiar with what DPW needs/has, so nothing other than uniforms were added to this.
Thank you and God bless.

Just to note, most DPW’s don’t have uniforms, they wear work wear with DPW labels and insignias.
