This isn't talked about nearly enough. It's high time to stop pretending that spouting such nonsense as "you're expected to realistically portray the LASD/LAPD" is conducive to good roleplay, or that simply integrating real-life codes and procedures is a gateway to unlocking the secrets of police portrayal, or that pasting actual slogans over in-game mappings is all you need to achieve your best performance as a pixel cop, because nothing could be further from the truth. If the only defining trait of your character is acing 100% of the LASD/LAPD lingo while jumping from shootout to pursuit to tactical deployment, then you're not much better than any other virtual gangbanger who uses gang roleplay and AAVE as a paper-thin disguise to engage in server-sanctioned DM without any consequence. Law enforcement roleplay somehow managed to pull a complete 360 and move from robocops whose only aim was to rack up as many arrests as possible while only engaging in action-packed scenarios, to a somewhat engaging and balanced level of police portrayal, right back to robocops whose only aim is to fill their sentences with as many LASD/LAPD terms as possible while only engaging in action-packed scenarios. It's just a long string of disjointed episodes without anything holding the whole thing together, and how could it be otherwise? Hardly anyone takes their time to do some station roleplay or get to know other characters beyond a cursory introduction, debriefs after situations are done just because it's "real life procedures" and not out of a genuine interest of interacting with fellow faction members, good luck finding anyone above a first-line supervisory rank to discuss important matters because it's not "realistic" for commanders to be in-game and expect to be called out over faction chat if you don't use the right code or just say it in plain English instead of getting your message across in numbers. While it's true that law enforcement factions receive a large amount of calls and can't possibly handle them all, it's also true that almost zero attention is given to anything else beyond the run and gun. Investigative roleplay is in shambles, held up by maybe five or six people in total. Patrol work is more shallow than it was in 2014 because even though the characters use more accurate terminology, they're nowhere near as interesting or have as much of a personality as they used to 10 years ago. Passive police roleplay is basically unheard of. And there's still people who somehow feel it's appropriate to use the "it's not about policing the server" motto. And it's absolutely not a problem limited to this server only, regardless of how popular others might be on other platforms. The law enforcement roleplay scene these days can be summed up as people playing LSPDFR in multiplayer.

We won't allow a 63 years old police character nowadays. I think we have too many limitations and restrictions on what we cannot roleplay or, what is realistic and what is not. I think allowing certain dramatic or non-realistic things to the game should be allowed as long as it is fun. We should not really be chasing after realism at the cost of making the game no longer fun. Lenny Train is a great meme and great example.

It remains 5k.

fax 2012-14 was peak leo rp. when cops used to bang it out with criminals in alleyways and would roleplay complete assholes that turned hoods inside out just to rile bangers up. michael westbrook doing on the street detective work interfacing with people on a daily basis lol they scrapped everything fun hyper focusing on emulation too much detective rp in 2024 is riding around in an unmarked premier all day doing everything a regular patrol unit would do lol its so uninspired do some bicycle patrols have a department do some outreach work in neighborhoods and survey people do some foot patrols go to a business on break and just chill there for an hour or something idk man it really isnt that hard to mix things up but the restrictions scare anyone who want to break out of the mold

Try not to be the super strict community like the other ones that exist. Let people enjoy it as long as they're not Mass DMing or hacking.
