Road Traffic Unit

The Road Traffic Unit (RTU) is currently lead by CSI Sciencefreak. It is the only in-game specialised constabulary.

Purpose

RTU as per the name focuses on catching road criminals and quick responses by road. RTU also deals with Road Traffic Collisions (RTC's) and road checkpoints. RTU makes use of superior tactics and an immense amount of practice to ensure pursuits are both safe and successful.

RTU Sub Groups

Training Team

The training team is responsible for ensuring all officers who attempt to join our constabulary are the right fit. They are a set of highly specialised drivers and are rewarded strongly for their commitment to RTU.

They are also responsible for monitoring the driving of other officers throughout the island to ensure that their driving is safe and providing corrective measures in the form of an Road Traffic Safety Course (RTSC) where appropriate. Depending on the circumstances you could either get a straight up RTSC or just a warning point towards one. There are two types of RTSC you can get, these can be seen as follows:

• Hatchback Sport RTSC: Prevents the receiving officer from driving a hatchback sport until they have completed the safety course.
• SUV RTSC: Prevents the receiving officer from driving any land vehicle until the safety course has been completed.

Unmarked Vehicle Officers

Unmarked vehicle officers are an essential tool for RTU to help catch Road Traffic Law violators. Unmarked vehicle officers will often lie in hiding where they are least expected and wait for traffic violators or anyone wanted by the Altis Police Service to drive past before quickly giving pursuit. It is a limited role being an unmarked authorised officer and as such it is only available to RTU INS+ or members of the RTU training team.

History

The RTU was reformed at the start of 2037 after being disbanded towards the start of 2036
