here is the issue. dps is small, and there are too many people in departments under dps to even imagine that there could be a case without even small coi

this issue with DPS constantly being shit on is never going to be truly fixed unless someone manages to successfully convince supreme leader premier marshal fedoramasterb98 that DPS’s role needs to be changed. (ps. if someone actually does manage to do this i will be very impressed)

Its because it’s quite frankly a useless department. I’m not hating on anyone inside the department, but the entire premise of it is unwise. I understand the reason it was implemented and the pros and cons but with an overseeing department like DPS, its always gonna get hated on. There are some reasons that I will generally agree that DPS should stay, but the opposites outweigh the latter. While yes, the community does its best to be as realistic as possible, there not one city, town, county, or state that has a system in place like this. Along with the duties of DPS, I have noticed an extremely sharp decrease in the things we (command members) can investigate and punish for. I remember about 8 months or so ago that almost every issue went to command and was resolved in command. Today, it goes to command (or DPS sometimes), tossed to DPS, sits for a couple weeks, tossed back over to command just for command to disregard almost everything that DPS had done.
The premise of DPS of not entirely unjust but is heavily outweighed by its cons. IAs would run better and keeps everything contained within the department.
Just my 2 cents.

what people fail to realise is that the department of public safety doesn’t restrict what can and cannot be investigated/dealt with by subordinate leadership any longer, in fact, its secretary had the intention of allowing subordinate leadership to resolve straight-forward issues - it was fed who most recently dictated the rules on this after someone complained.
it’s not a perfect department but nor were some (not all) of the internal affairs teams that preceded it. in fact, if i’m not mistaken, their failure was partially responsible for the department of public safety existing.
nonetheless, i firmly believe that its policies and procedures (ex. training & investigative) are long overdue completely being torn up and rewritten as i simply don’t think that they’re effective. investigators aren’t very well trained and policies are vague or nonexistent (ex. auditing procedures).
i tried to push for such but the willingness to make change or start from scratch is far too resisted - that’s why i no longer saw any use in me being in the department (because i wasn’t in a position where i could push change through), particularly when i could use that time to work on me rather than a lego game.
i do completely understand your opinion though, it is difficult to work with one another when neither side is willing to listen or compromise.

And I think many of these ideas are a step in the right direction. I do and don’t understand why DPS was made a thing, I get IAs (at that point in time) were probably a little inefficient and probably let a lot of people off the loose but I feel that having 1 department with few employees overseeing most of Firestone’s departments is just opening the door to suspicious activities. That being said, I have absolutely no clue what Fed said or is doing but this type of involvement forces DPS’ hand, which then gets DPS all the hate, even though it’s the higher ups causing it.
Who knows anymore.

I still find it funny how they think I got the audit called of by responding to the investigator “lol weak”

here’s an idea: make dps a one man department (led by a competent secretary (if such a thing exists)) that does barely anything unless they really need to
(yes ik my disclaimer is outdated, hush auto)

wow looks like wolf_rbx’s posts and replies indicate the views of the sym administration, given the disclaimer does not expressly state otherwise
