When new recruits initially join the [[Altis Police Service|Police Service]], it is expected for them to have a lot of questions. However, due to the commonplace of officers receiving messages which they are either unable to respond to, or do not have the time to handle due to the responsibilities of their rank, a ‘command tier’ system was put in place.

==Gold Command==

Gold Command, also referred to as Police Command, consists of CC, DCC and ACC; thus they should only be messaged regarding issues that affect the [[Altis Police Service|Police]] as a whole, rather than constabulary matters.

===Chief Constable (CC)===

[[File:Chief_Constable_Epaulette.png|border|right|frameless|79x79px]]

The CC’s are in charge of the [[Altis Police Service]], they still enforce the law on the [[Altis|island]] but handle the day to day running of the Force and deal with any issues and implement changes to the Police.

The current Chief Constables are:

* {{Police/Command Member|Position=CC1}}

* {{Police/Command Member|Position=CC2}}

The current Deputy Chief Constables are:

* {{Police/Command Member|Position=FP_DCC}}

* {{Police/Command Member|Position=SO_DCC}}

The current Assistant Chief Constables are:

* {{Police/Command Member|Position=FP_ACC1}}

* {{Police/Command Member|Position=SO_ACC1}}

==Silver Command==

Silver Command, also referred to as Constabulary Command, consists of CSI and SI. Their primary focus is to ensure their respective [[Altis Police Service#Frontline Policing|constabulary]] runs smoothly, day to day. They should only be approached with problems regarding whitelisting, issues with members of their constabulary or for leaving the [[Altis Police Service|Police]]; however, silver command can only accept resignation from members if their own constabulary.

===Chief Superintendent (CSI)===

==Bronze Command==

The Bronze tier consists of SGT-CI. They can be messaged for any questions about the [[Altis Police Service|Police Service]] or their respective [[Altis Police Service#Frontline Policing|constabulary]]. If it is a more serious enquiry such as a complaint regarding a member of their constabulary, or perhaps a question regarding a Police rule, a CI should be approached.

===Chief Inspector (CI)===

[[File:Chief_Inspector_Epaulette.png|alt=|border|right|frameless|47x47px]]

Chief Inspectors are the first line of command within a constabulary. They are there to assist their fellow officers as well as oversee any disputes or any arguments in their constabulary or liaison. They also oversee any paperwork that is submitted before it is turned into a senior officer. The maximum amount of Chief Inspectors within a constabulary is 4, with the exception of [[Police Academy]] which can have 5.

===Inspector (INS)===

[[File:Inspector_Epaulette.png|alt=|border|right|frameless|47x47px]]

The people who hold this rank are encouraged to sort officers at ground level, to move them as needed and to assure each vehicle is being used at its full potential. There can be a total of 5 Inspectors in each constabulary.

===Sergeant (SGT)===

[[File:Sergeant Epaulette.png|border|right|frameless|47x47px]]

A Sergeant’s goal is to assist both new and old officers on patrol and to enforce the law, to be a liaison with each rank and to order officers in the field and, if required, fill in paperwork given by the [[Police Ranks and Structure#Silver Command|Constabulary Command]].

==Junior Ranks and Trainees==

===Police Constable (PC)===

[[File:Police Constable Epaullete.png|border|right|frameless|47x47px]]

Here is where most officers spend the majority of their time before being commissioned into a higher rank. They are expected to patrol without issue and to deal with situations fluidly without orders, know what to do in special circumstances and, if needed, assist the commanding of unit movement and placements. At this point officers become entirely responsible for their own decision making in relation to the [https://www.app.college.police.uk/app-content/national-decision-model/the-national-decision-model/ National Decision Model] (NDM).

===Police Special Constable (SC)===

[[File:Special Constable Epaullete.png|border|right|frameless|47x47px]]

TBA

===Probationary Police Constable (Prob. PC / PPC)===

[[File:Probationary_Police_Constable_Epaullete.png|border|right|frameless|47x47px]]

This rank is obtained once the [[Police Academy#Field Assessment|FA]] is successfully passed and is followed by a two week probationary period. This will give PPCs the opportunity to develop the necessary skills and experience required to become a fully-fledged Police Constable. They are expected to know the basics as well as any potential special skills to assist in everything the [[Altis Police Service|Police Service]] has to offer. The probationary period is the last stage of training for the [[Altis Police Service]]''.''

===Police Community Support Officer (PCSO)===

[[File:Police Community Support Officer Epaulette.png|border|right|frameless|47x47px]]

Training officers granted their badge as well as enhanced powers. These officers, having completed basic training ([[Police Academy#Field Training Course|FTC]]), and are now assigned a caretaker officer at each shift start and must follow the commands of their seniors. These officers are kitted out with a basic weapons kit, with non lethal capability, but they must first complete their [[Police Academy#Field Training Test|FTT]] before being able to patrol with a firearm.
