529The Absence Policy provides guidelines of when and how to file an absence, and the regulations that prevents the system from being manipulated for wrongful use and to ensure officers can take time away from the Police Department without having to risk their position.

536Partial Absence is defined as a partial absence from duty (( able to log in game, but below activity requirements ))
537Return Date is defined as the date stated by the officer within an Absence Report indicating when they return to duty
538
5393.5.2 ABSENCE POLICY LISTED
540The policy below denotes guidelines and requirements of officers that intend to go on either full or partial absences. It is important to understand that the following policy may be accustomed to each particular officer depending on the reasoning of the absence. Absence Policy as follows;
541
542• Officers must file an absence if their Period of Inactivity exceeds SEVEN DAYS. Officers without absences are given FOURTEEN DAYS before they are liable for a TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT (( inactivity ))
543• Period of Absences must not exceed TWENTY EIGHT DAYS. If the Period of Absence exceeds this number, the officer shall post a RESIGNATION and may reinstate when they are able to return to their duties
544• Officers that fail to return after SEVEN DAYS of their set Return Date are liable for a TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT (( inactivity ))
545
546Absence Reports must be filed within the respective records office depending on your rank. For Police Officers, Police Sergeants and Police Detectives this is the Absence Reports Records office. If the Length of Absence changes during your absence, you must update your Absence Report or file for a Resignation.
547
548At the discretion of the Chief of Police, exceptions may be made to the Absence Policy to individual Police Officers depending on circumstance (( applying to both In Character and Out of Character absences. ))
549
550(( 3.5.3 ACTIVITY REQUIREMENTS ))
551The Los Santos Police Department expects all faction members to meet the activity requirement of 1.0 AVERAGE HOURS IN-GAME as seen on the Faction Center via LS-RP's User Control Panel. Average hours are calculated automatically against a mean average of hours in-game in the last thirty days. Average hours update every 24 hours.
552
553(( 3.5.4 ACTIVITY ENFORCEMENT ))
554The Los Santos Police Department firmly enforces activity by means of the department's disciplinary procedure. The department conducts TWO CHECKS on ALL OFFICERS per MONTH — one on the FIRST (1st) of each month and one on the FIFTEENTH (15th) of each month. If a member is found to be below the activity standard they shall be issued with an ADMONISHMENT for INACTIVITY. If activity in the next check is still below the required standard, a TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT shall be issued.
555
556If a faction member is issued an ADMONISHMENT for INACTIVITY at the first check (1), meets requirements at the second check (2) but fails to meet the requirements at the third check (3) then a TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT shall be issued. This clause only applies up to one check after the initial check.
557
558At the discretion of the activity checker, a 0.05 buffer clause can be used when deciding disciplinary action for activity. For example, a faction member of 1.15 activity could be granted the buffer clause at the discretion of the activity checker.
559
560Recently invited faction members AND faction members that have returned from a Full or Partial Absence are exempt from the first and second checks to allow for an accurate mean average of their in-game hours to build up.

652• Faction members who are on duty MUST have at LEAST their in-game lastname in their Teamspeak username

659• Faction members CANNOT USE Central when Off Duty
660
6613.8.4 TEAMSPEAK AND LSRP SERVER RULES
662Teamspeak acts as a type of in-character communication in the form of a police radio. There are three circumstances when Teamspeak may be used instead of the in-game radio. Typically, Teamspeak should only be used as a last resort to being unable to type. Every effort should be made to use the in-game radio when possible.
663
664Central - Central is IN CHARACTER and MUST ONLY be used to call in active emergency situations when you would realistically be able to make your transmission, but unable to because you are moving or actively shooting and typing would unrealistically disadvantage your character. This includes but is not limited to vehicle pursuits, foot pursuits, and active shootings. Central may also be used by supervisors for the purpose of situation management during large scale situations.
665
666Total Access Communication (TAC) Channels - TAC Channels are IN CHARACTER and MUST ONLY be used to update in active emergency situations when you would realistically be able to make your transmission, but unable due to being moving or otherwise occupied, including but not limited to vehicle pursuits, foot pursuits, and active shootings.
667
668Operations (OP) Channels - Operations Channels are IN CHARACTER and MUST ONLY be used for operation management during large scale operations.
669
670Duty Channels - Duty Channels are OUT OF CHARACTER and cannot be used to communicate with your partner or any other person in character. This includes all callsign specific channels.
671
6723.8.5 TEAMSPEAK USERNAMES AND DISPLAYING CALLSIGNS
673Faction members must correctly set their Teamspeak Username for the purposes of efficiency, professionalism and consistency.
674
675On duty faction members MUST set their username to contain their FULL CALLSIGN and IN-GAME LAST NAME in their Teamspeak username when in the Central Channels. Those who wish to add an out-of-character nickname to their Teamspeak username may do so, but must still keep their last name in brackets after their out-of-character nickname. You may not add any additional icons, letters or numbers to your last name (eg. â’½ instead of H).
676
677Off duty faction members may remain in Teamspeak but MUST place [OFF] at the start of their Teamspeak username.
678
679The following is a list of examples for Police Officer II Jane Doe with the out-of-character nickname Jen15:
680
681CORRECT
682[2-ADAM-1] Doe / [2-ADAM-1] Jane Doe / [2-ADAM-1] Jen15 (Doe) / [2-ADAM-1] J. Doe
683
684INCORRECT
685[2-ADAM-1] Jen15 / [2-ADAM-1] Doe (Jen15) / [2-ADAM-1] Jen15 (doe) / [2-ADAM-1] Jen15 (ᴅδᴇ) / [2-ADAM-1] Miss Doe
686
6873.8.6 TEAMSPEAK SERVER UNAVAILABILITY
688In rare instances, the primary Teamspeak server may not be available for faction members to use. This may be a result of a variety of reasons, including but not limited to maintenance, DoS attacks, server instability etc. Provided the main LS:RP server is still running, faction members will be required to adhere to the following rules and regulations.
689
690If the Teamspeak server has been down or unstable for at least 15 minutes (or is otherwise experiencing consistent down-times or instability which results in harming police communication), the highest ranking officer on-duty will be required to make attempts to contact any Command Officer to assist in setting up the LSPD Backup TeamSpeak server. This can be done via forum PMs, in-game or any third party programs that are used for communication.
691
692During Teamspeak down-time, the following guidelines must be adhered to at all times. It is the responsibility of supervisors to ensure these are being adhered to:
693
694• Every faction member (excluding CO and SO) MUST partner up. Three-man patrols may be authorized if necessary.
695• Initiating vehicle or foot pursuits should only be done if necessary. Pursuits should be avoided and an APB/Warrant placed if feasible.
696• Driver roles include driving, aiming and using the firearm when out of the vehicle.
697• Passenger roles include communicating at all times (standard in-character radio procedure, updating on vehicle/foot pursuits), opening fire from a vehicle if necessary.
698
699Third-party programs must NOT be used as a replacement for Teamspeak.

712Image (( 3.9 - Out of Character Corruption Rules ))
713
7143.9.1 OUT OF CHARACTER CORRUPTION RULES DEFINED
715Out of Character Corruption Rules provide a clear set of permitted types of corruption which the Los Santos Police Department agrees is acceptable and/or within proper roleplaying means. This includes the possession of any and all degrees of contraband, as listed in the Out of Character Retention Rules. All cases of Police Corruption will be dealt with by Internal Affairs and/or Staff Officers, as appropriate.
716
7173.9.2 OUT OF CHARACTER CORRUPTION RULES LISTED
718The following forms of Police Corruption ARE permitted;
719
720• Moderate brutality (aggressive use of force, over use of force, but no grievous bodily harm, murder, etc).
721• Witnessing a misdemeanour or infraction and failing to report it (this does not include felonies).
722• Substance abuse (an alcohol addiction, drug addiction, etc).
723• Racism (to a minor degree).
724
725ALL other types of Police Corruption are NOT permitted and, if found to be breaking these rules, disciplinary actions (most commonly a termiation) will follow. Occasionally, there will be exceptions made for certain RP that may not fall under the above rules but only if it's not excessive or unrealistic. 
726
727Police Officer Is may not commit any degree of corruption. Police Officer Is found in violation of this rule will be punished up to and including a Termination of Employment.
728
729In addition, leaving any of the public entrances to any of the police stations open, including the jail cell door and the back door, is considered OOC corruption.
730
7313.9.3 OUT OF CHARACTER RETENTION RULES LISTED
732Officers CANNOT be in possession or store the following items of contraband on their person, vehicle(s) or residence(s):
733
734• Possession of illegal weaponry, explosives and other devices in any volume.
735• Possession of weapon packages.
736• Possession of controlled substances in any number (with the exception of officers role-playing drug addiction, where they can be in possession of no more than 50 GRAMS).
737• Large numbers of legal firearms, to a criminally negligent degree.
738
739It is abuse of your position as a member of the faction to be storing any form of contraband obtained while in the faction. If found to be in possession of any such contraband, you will either be terminated on grounds of OOC corruption, or other suitable in-character avenues of punishment, including arrest. 
740
741You are to make sure that when confiscating any form of contraband, that it is immediately removed through the suitable in-game commands (such as /dropgun, /takedrugs, /takematerials, /takeweapons). If you hold contraband from a past character, you must either completely remove it, or transfer it to an alternative character via administrator assistance.
