In real life, when an active shooter is roaming around in a vehicle, the local police department, sheriff’s office etc would issue an Emergency Alert to allow for civilians to stay safe.
Currently in V2 the SCSO and FSP bullpens have computers lined around in them with maps of the current units around, there is a duty supervisor room in each bullpen which doesn’t have said map.
It would be cool if, when a Sergeant+ in FSP or SCSO sits in the duty supervisor chair, it gives them a GUI to issue an Emergency Alert for situations, whether that is for shooters, or maybe in some cases extreme weather.
The emergency alert would appear on everyone’s phone with a sound playing.
This would add a different aspect to roleplay and finding shooters that are at-large, additionally it gives a lot more use to the sometimes forgotten-about department interiors.
fun fact: the city of arborfield and my administration created an emergency alert system that you can find in the arbor server. we care about our residents.
not only is it used to issue emergency alerts of ongoing situations in the city but it also gives notifications about ongoing events and things such as traffic delays in the city, like when there is construction and a lane is closed or when DoH hosts Clinics at SCMC
