One big issue I see with V2 is despite the addition of 3 municipal police departments, FSP and SCSO still tend to patrol in Redwood or other cities instead of sticking to the highways or unincorporated areas. I personally believe policies should be put in place for these depts to avoid responding to calls in a city unless municipal PDs are unavailable or lack the manpower to respond.

instead letâs reinstate the FSP vs FNG war of v1 and hope for the best, last department standing takes control of the entire state

The issue is that the Sheriffâs Office and State Patrol both have map-wide jurisdiction which means they can patrol anywhere.
The highways and the unincorporated areas are simply âpreferred patrol areasâ. In the majority of cases, theyâll patrol within the cities more than anywhere else because those areas are more populated than the patrol areas are.
Nobody is going to just sit on an unincorporated road running radar, bored, when they can patrol within city limits and get some action.
Itâs how it is and how it always will be.

are you complaining about cops doing their job with map-wide jurisdictionâŚ
the other patrol routes are preferred areas, but they donât have to stick to them.
if its that much of an issue and you REALLY WANT people to stop doing their law enforcement duties by looking for crime, go to their command.

I understand what youâre getting at. However, this would spark controversy if it were set in place. Since both FSP and SCSOâs jurisdiction is pretty much the entire map, we also have duties that would require us to be in cities. For example, with ESU now, they would need to be in redwood to handle their duties or with SWAT where they would take over scene command over a tactical situation. These kind of stuff local pds cannot do or canât do on their own. Therefore, everything is okay where itâs at now.
However, itâs not okay if FSP and SCSO all stayed in redwood doing nothing but just wasting space by stuffing their faces with nonexistent donuts and a bloxy creme coffee. But there hasnât been any of that at least not yet since there is a lot of action currently. Sure itâs possible it happens but thatâs normally because if like the game has like ten people and half of those are in something like RPD (yes I like to bully you guys because thatâs the most active city lol) and of course, people wanna get their log in so that they wonât get fired. But if itâs really active and thereâs a problem regarding FSP or SCSO not doing their job, just report it rather than rant about how bad a department is in the forums because of a SINGLE DEPUTY OR TROOPER was simply AFK because he was doing the laundry or fighting demons in the bathroom.
Our main focus as everyone else has been saying is to work together to fight crime rather than fight each other over jurisdictions. That should be the case, we all have that one problem in common, so we should set our differences aside and work together. Remember that itâs just a hecking lego game and not real life. So just complaining about how you see a trooper or a deputy in a city when local pd is on is just pure pettiness. There are bigger problems than just that tiny situation. In conclusion, our job is to work together and yes us FSP and SCSO are in the cities in the majority of our times because our jurisdiction has a significant amount more of ground to cover, if you see a trooper or deputy causing trouble or just wasting your time regarding that, just report it to command and theyâll handle it accordingly.

I have proposed SCSO introducing various âareas of focusâ into official policy, this would mean deputies would patrol a certain (unincorporated) area of the county, maybe even with Sergeant+ assigning and maintaining them (through the use of the map in the bullpen).

My concern is the fact that municipal PDs donât get the chance to respond to a city emergency before SCSO or FSP gets to it first. Thereâs no point in being in a PD if youâre constantly getting overridden by another agency. This isnât real life where âfighting crimeâ is something important rather than a game aspect. Crime isnât a problem for officers, itâs what fuels activity. I just think that crimes committed in these cities deserve PD response first before anyone else. Like I said, Fed has stated that these agencies like SCSO and FSP have preferred jurisdictions and need to stick to them (going as far to literally marking it on a map). I donât find it petty when FSP would gladly report a SCSO deputy sitting on the highway running traffic. ESU and SWAT are fine as long as they are performing their set duties.

But this isnât an issue, the municipal departments get to respond to city emergencies before anyone else unless thereâs zero of them online. As someone who isnât in a municipal department Iâm always one of the last people on scene (because most of us arenât actually sitting in RW) unless the call comes from the 401 or any of the unincorporated towns.

I think people forget that the Sheriffâs Office station is literally in Redwood so theyâre automatically within the city to begin with and you canât expect them to want to drive out of there when thereâs plenty of crime occurring
