Although these are both handpicked, these are probably the most interactive positions we have. Third we have Quantico, they specialize in training our trainees in various skills including driving, scene management, how to behave, and other things.

Types of objection: * **Overruled** - To reject an attorney's objection to a question to a witness or admission of evidence. * **Sustained** - If the judge agrees he/she will rule "sustained," meaning the objection is approved and the question cannot be asked or answered. * **Acquittal** - A jury verdict that a criminal defendant is not guilty, or the finding of a judge that the evidence is insufficient to support a conviction. * **Testimony** - Evidence presented orally by witnesses during trials or before grand juries. * **In Contempt of Court -** Under Florida law, Contempt of Court is an act calculated to obstruct, hinder, or defy a court in the administration of justice. Contempt may be direct or indirect, and criminal or civil, and may include jail penalties and other consequences. * **Recess** - To request a short break from the trial Any questions may be DMd to CATATRON99 # Appearance Describes the clothing that you should wear When appearing in court you must dress with the specified attire to appear as professional as possible. * A full formal suit in black or gray * Tidy hair No extra accesories are allowed apart from the following. * A Fedora or formal looking hat * Sun glasses or regular glasses If you require an exception, DM CATATRON99 # Perks and Responsibilities Details the perks and the responsabilities of the job As a Lawyer/Attorney, you will have the following perks. * Ability to represent clients * Ability to file civil law suits * Ability to request court documents (Warrants, Subpoenas, etc.) * Ability to deliver subpoenas * Ability to sue goverment departments * Join or start a law firm Your responsibilities as a Lawyer are as follows * Collection of evidence for trials * Being responsable with your clients * Aiding anyone that requires legal help * Study the inner workings of a courtroom # Evidence Collection Basic tutorial for evidence collection As a Lawyer, you will need to collect evidence to protect your client and prove their inocence. You can do this in multiple ways, here are the most common ones. * **Basic Inquiry and Requests** Basic inquiries can be done by speaking with your client and any witnesses that might have seen anything to aid in your case. You can request they give you the evidence or they go and testify for your case. The witnesses or civilian parties have the right to deny your request after which you can ask them for a statement if they are a witness. If the piece of evidence is crucial, you can request the Judge fill out a search and seizure warrant for the collection of the evidence that is being ommited. * **Hiring Investigators** You can hire an investigator to investigate the case for you and return with any evidence or statements they might find within the confines of the law. * **Getting other firm members to help conduct intervies** If you are apart of a law firm or are working with someone else on the case, you can both request interviews with the witnesses. Once you have a list of your evidence, you must turn it in to the assigned Court Clerk or Judge at least 3 days before the trial. # Opening Statements Bases to create an opening statement An opening statement is a key part of any trial in which you will present yourself and explain your objective for being there. The key elements in an opening statement are as follows. * **Theme of the Case** - A theme that will serve as a framework for every piece of evidence the jury hears during the case. The theme should communicate how the evidence will fit together, and why your client’s position in the case is the right one. **Example:** A lawyer defending a discrimination at work case may have a theme of “unheeded warnings” to communicate that the plaintiff had a chance to improve their performance before termination, but failed to take advantage of the opportunity. * **Don’t Waste Time Getting to the Theme -** The first impression should be more compelling. Be ready to begin your opening as soon as the moment arrives. Stand up quickly and start speaking with confidence, demonstrating immediately that you are prepared and sure of what you’re saying. Tell the jury something interesting in your first few sentences, and then return to the more mundane tasks of introductions and thanks. **Example:** The defendant had a contract with Smith Corporation. He promised that, in exchange for three years of employment at a substantial salary, he would not take Smith’s customers and employees when his employment ended. The defendant has broken this promise. When his employment with Smith Corporation ended last December, the defendant stole five clients and three employees, and caused Smith Corporation to lose $10 million in business. That is why we are here today. Ladies and gentlemen, my name is John Jackson. Together with my co-counsel Sue Jones, I represent Smith Corporation. Sitting with us at the plaintiff’s table is Robert Smith, the President of Smith Corporation. In this trial, we ask you to hold the defendant responsible for his wrongful acts. * **Personalize Your Client -** Use the opening as an opportunity to persuade the jury to like your client. Explain your client’s motivations, and give the jury reasons to feel camaraderie with your client. If you represent an individual plaintiff, convince the jury of your client’s integrity, and persuade them that your client is not just out to make an easy buck; rather, your client suffered real harm. Obviously, a lawyer representing an individual against a corporation may have an easier job personalizing the client, but a management-side lawyer can personalize their client as well, and the need to do so cannot be underestimated. # Appearance Describes the clothing that you should wear As a Judge, you must be the pinacle of professionalism and dress as such, therefore you should wear the following atire. * Judge type robe (Or a black suit) * Tidy hair or a Judge´s wig No extra accesories are allowed apart from the following. * Regular Glasses If you require an exception, DM CATATRON99 # Perks and Responsibilities Details the perks and the responsabilities of the job As a Judge/Magistrate, you will have the following perks. * Ability to lead court proceedings * Ability to fill out court forms * Ability to fill out requested warrants * More to be added soon Your responsibilities as a Judge are as follows * Show up to court * Be Impartial * Hear everyone out * Cast a proper verdict * Study the scentences for the respective crime of the case # Way of operation during a trial The way a trial should be handled Here you will find an easy tutorial for running a courtroom. * Bailif announces judge and has spectators rise * Judge will request opening statements starting with the prosecution * After opening statements are done, the prosecution will paint the scene of the crime, establishing what was found at the scene of the crime and the defendants involvement * Once the prosecution is done, the defense will have a chance at a rebutal in which they will present their first pieces of evidence who will try and prove the inocence of the defendant. If any witnesses are called, the prosecution will be able to cross examine them if they see the need for it. * Both parties will take turns presenting witnesses (Both parties have the right to cross examine) and evidence until there is none. * Once all evidence has been presented, the Jury will be taken to a seperate room to cast a verdict. * Once the Jury reaches a desicion, they are brought back to the courtroom and inform their decision to the Judge who will cast his judgement. *Note: If a trial lasts more than 1 and a half hours, it will stop there and be continued the following day with the same jurors.* *The Judge may call a recess at any point during the trial to offer a short break. Lawyers may also request a recess and it will be up to a judge to accept or deny* # Filling out Court files Tutorial on how to fill out the court file PDFs First, you will access the google drive and locate the folder with the templates.

It has a moderate amount of room and has enough space to transport suspects in the back. ## <mark style="color:green;">Detective</mark> ### Any <mark style="color:orange;">Falcon Interceptor Utility</mark> The Falcon Interceptor Utility is one of the most used vehicles in the Highway Patrol as it offers a large space for equipment and transportation along side its powerful engine which can get you almost anywhere in a hurry. ## <mark style="color:green;">Senior Detective</mark> ### 20XX <mark style="color:orange;">Chevlon Platoro PPV</mark> As the only truck used in the Highway Patrol, it offers a large amount of space in both the bed and the rear seats making it a great choice for transportation. However, it may not be the fastest car in the world. ## <mark style="color:green;">Lead Detective</mark> ### 2022 <mark style="color:orange;">Bullhorn Determinator SFP Fury</mark> The fastest car in the Highway Patrol fleet. An amazing choice for a nice ride but maybe not for detective work unless you plan to transport everything in your passenger seat. # Internal Affairs # Training Instructors # Policies These policies go over our unlisted rules in more depth than in the communications server to clear up confusion amongst troopers.

Unit Type</mark> <a href="#s1a" id="s1a"></a> **i. Overview**\ It is important that you only respond to calls that you are currently clocked in to handle, it makes no sense that a normal unit would investigate a robbery while detectives are online. **ii. Normal Units**\ Normal units (default shift type) may respond to any call that requires a police response. Examples:\ \- Store robbery\ \- Vehicle crash\ \- Shooting/panic\ \- Perimeter control **iii. Detectives**\ Detectives should only respond to calls once the normal units have handled the main call to investigate the aftermath and potentially find other suspects that may be involved. Examples:\ \- Robbery investigation\ \- Murder investigation\ \- Vehicle crash\ \- Shooting/panic **iv. Speed Enforcement**\ Speed enforcement may respond to any call that a normal unit would respond to but should prioritise pursuits, traffic stops, etc. over other calls. ### <mark style="color:orange;">B. Light Pattern</mark> <a href="#s1b" id="s1b"></a> **i. Overview**\ When responding to a call, you should use the appropriate lighting pattern according to the call type. You should not be responding to a car crash at code 3. **ii. Code 1**\ Lights: None active\ Sirens: None active\ Traffic: Follow rules A code 1 response should be used for calls which do not require an immediate response. Examples:\ \- Welfare check\ \- Sting setup **iii. Code 2Lo**\ Lights: Active when needed\ Sirens: Manual only\ Traffic: Follow rules A code 2Lo response should be used when a call is not urgent but it is difficult to reach the call without moving vehicles out of the way. Examples:\ \- Low value warrant response\ \- Supervisor requested **iv. Code 2Hi**\ Lights: Active\ Sirens: Manual/Priority only\ Traffic: Can run lights/stop signs A code 2Hi response should be used when a call is urgent but does not require immediate units. Code 2Hi may also be used when traffic is high and using sirens is useless. Examples:\ \- Vehicle crash\ \- Warrant response\ \- Officer in un-immediate danger **v. Code 3**\ Lights: Active\ Sirents: Active\ Traffic: Can speed and run lights/stop signs A code 3 response should be used for a call which requires immediate units. Examples:\ \- Officer in danger (panic)\ \- Shots fired\ \- Robbery in progress\ \- Pursuit ### <mark style="color:orange;">C. Traffic Rules</mark> <a href="#s1c" id="s1c"></a> **i. Information**\ When responding to a call, you should attempt to follow all traffic rules unless you have a good reason to not. Bellow are traffic rules and instances where you can break them. **ii. Red Light / Stop Sign**\ You may run a red light or stop sign when a person or valuable object is in danger (responding code 3). However, before running a light or stop sign, you must first slow down and check for traffic coming from either direction - you should not speed straight through unless blocked off. **iii. Speeding**\ You should refrain from speeding when responding to a call if possible. You have the right to speed if the call is urgent (code 3) but if it is required to go faster than 120mph, you should stop responding / chasing. **iv. Reckless Driving**\ You should not need to drive recklessly when responding to a call and therefore it is still illegal. *** ## <mark style="color:blue;">Section 2 - Securing a scene</mark> <a href="#s2" id="s2"></a> **i. Information**\ To avoid confusion or contamination of evidence, a scene must be secured when an opportunity to do so is given. A scene may only be released on the detectives say so. **ii. Tape**\ The most common way to secure a scene is to put loads of police tape around the crime scene. While this is an efficient method, it is not great for stopping vehicles from entering an area. Tape should primarily be used to close of areas inside of a building or protected by barriers. **iii. Police Barriers**\ Police barriers are a great way to stop vehicles from entering an area that is being secured. Where possible, you should place these types of barriers to stop vehicles. You should not block off an area which can be used to another location without entering the crime scene. **iv. Crowd Barriers**\ Crowd barriers are used to stop pedestrians from entering an area. These can be used for a crime scene or for stopping civilians from entering a private area. For a crime scene, you should only place these barriers next to sidewalks and pedestrian areas. *** ## <mark style="color:blue;">Section 3 - Parking</mark> <a href="#s3" id="s3"></a> **i. Information**\ Finding the correct place to park your vehicle is important to not disrupt civilians just going about their daily life. You should find a spot which is out of the way of causing harm. **ii. Code 1 Response**\ If you are on a code 1 response, you have no reason not to find an appropriate parking spot in either a parking lot or space near the scene. **iii. Code 2 Response**\ When responding code 2, you may park your vehicle on the sidewalk with the lights on while you deal with a scene, but make sure to leave some room for people to get past. **iv. Code 3 Response**\ When responding code 3, you may leave your vehicle anywhere that will not cause harm to others but your lights must be on and if you have an opportunity to park safely, you should. **v. Blockades**\ When asked to block off a road for a pursuit or event, you must have your lights and traffic advisors on among any other equipment such as flares and cones to alert drivers. # Welcome Coming soon... # Bulletin # Welcome Coming soon... # Bulletin # Detective Services *Coming Soon* # FTO ***Coming Soon*** # Internal Affairs ***Coming Soon*** # Welcome Coming soon... # Bulletin # General Information ***Coming Soon*** # Uniforms ***Coming Soon*** # Road Work ***Coming Soon*** # Vehicles ***Coming Soon*** # Hierarchy ***Coming Soon*** # Welcome Coming soon... # Bulletin # FSFM ***Coming Soon*** # Page # Page # Page
