Departments
Every department has its own ranks, training and job on scene. Pick the one that sounds like how you want to play.
PD
City patrol, traffic enforcement, and first response inside the city core. The busiest department and the usual starting point for new members.
Rank structure
SO
County and rural jurisdiction, warrant service, transport and corrections. Works alongside PD but covers the ground outside the city.
Rank structure
FD
Medical calls, structure fires, extrication and scene safety. If you'd rather save people than chase them, this is the one.
Rank structure
HP
Interstate and highway coverage — traffic enforcement, collisions and pursuits. Heavy driving, heavy radio work.
Rank structure
DSP
Takes 911 calls, assigns units, tracks status and runs the radio. The hardest job to do well and the one that holds a session together.
Rank structure
CIV
Plays the public — drivers, business owners, witnesses and suspects. Civilians create the scenarios everyone else responds to.
Rank structure
You start at the bottom of the ladder in every department, including if you transfer across from another one. Promotions come from activity and conduct, not time served alone.
