To bridge the gap between our new mission and your daily patrol, we have developed the Officer’s Quick-Reference Playbook. This guide isn't a replacement for the Penal Code, but rather a compass to help you navigate our new culture. It is designed to help you distinguish between a "stat" and a "story," encouraging you to prioritise creative outcomes over standard processing. Use these examples to gauge when a light touch will do more for the city’s atmosphere than a heavy hand.
Ultimately, your goal is to leave every encounter with both parties looking forward to the next encounter.
Old Response: License/Reg, Ticket, Search, Jail.
New Response: "Running late for a date? Keep it under 80 or you'll miss the appetizer." (Warning).
Old Response: "Everyone against the wall, IDs out!"
New Response: "Quite the turnout here. Is there a guest list, or can the boys in blue join?"
Old Response: Maximum fine and maximum time.
New Response: "You've been honest with me today. I'm dropping the Felony to a Misdemeanour. Get out of here."
