I'd help clarify some good Police Measures on your subject, if you like? Maxy's on the right track; my Classical Doctrine outlined some basic, trivial matters about the Police, but only because I've never actually seen a Server's PD act straight with Detectives, Beat Cops, etc, in a Classically-minded fashion. I'd like to see more of that going on, but to be honest, I separate it in two ways, a bit pessimistically.
~First-Responder -This guy has a badge and a gun; the latter is more important to him. -His Tazer is at the ready and his trigger-finger is well-developed. He is a product of a thousand rob-spamming idiots that pollute the server each day, and when you're within range, and committing a crime, your ass gets jolted. This may make him abraisive to noobies and oldies alike, but efficient. -When issuing Jail-Times, this guy takes your Concealed Carry license off the bat, even if you committed a triple-homicide and are currently caked with the entrails of the entire Armenian Mafia. -Whenever this guy tries to go further than just taze, cuff, sentence, his ass gets shot. Whenever this guy tries to interrogate a suspect, the general idea over radio chatter is "Where the f**k are you, there's another robbery! Everybody clog the exits!!!"
(^The Forces of Mediocre Roleplay are HERE, pulling these two characters into a coagulation of mildly acceptable, mashed goodness.^)
~Second-Responder -This guy is a Detective, or an 'NCIU/CIA' employee. He has the luxury of deep thinking. -This guy's tazer may be important to him, and his trigger-finger well-developed, but it is likely only a reflection of the server as an entirety, not his personal demeanor. -IDEALLY, when the other Cops are at the scene of the crime while the bullets are flying, he's there to see the spent casings and bloody corpses. He'll probably write something up on the forums that one or two people will read, in time, but he may build more complex and more meaningful character interactions where none at first see the potential. -Although he has the right idea in many respects, most servers demand that this guy become a beat Cop with a better-looking coat, and nice sunglasses. It's most likely that he doesn't actually solve crimes, he solves criminals; with extreme prejudice.
