Introduction

Radio Traffic Channels, also known as RTC in InfinityPlay RP. While in Radio Traffic Channels you must follow our Radio Traffic Channels rules set by the moderation team & dispatch high command. Failure to follow these rules will result in a dispatcher or staff member giving you a strike. Reaching 3 RTC strikes will result in department discplinary action.

You must have a some-what good understanding of the RTC rules & 10 codes. This document will go over the rules while in RTC, roles everyone part takes in, and what everything means.

RADIO TRAFFIC ONLY - Radio Traffic Only is always in-effect unless otherwise said by a Department Supervisor or a Senior Dispatcher. While Radio Traffic Only is in-effect is to remain professional, Some-what no cursing, No Screaming, or trolling. You are to use radio codes properly. While RTO is not in effect, you may speak freely, you must still follow our simple rules, Some-what no cursing, no trolling, no being a dick, and no screaming.

Radio Usage

Unit Number Designations

NATO Alphabet

In Radio Traffic Channels we use NATO Alphabet to spell letters out over the radio. Here's a list of the NATO Alphabet.

Subdivisions in RTC

While activated as a subdivision in RTC you are supposed to abbreviate your discord nickname accordingly with the list below.

Creating BOLO

BOLO stands for Be On the Lookout For (BOLO), a BOLO description in the CAD & announcing it in RTC is exetremly important and you should be properly taking notes regarding the BOLO criteria otherwise it can't be submited.

Spike Strips

Spike strips may only be deployed on fleeing vehilce under these specific conditions:

  • No Hostages are presnt in the vehicle

  • Vehicle fleeing for over 10 minutes and no signs of stopping.

  • Road conditions are safe.

  • Vehicle speed is under 70mph.

  • Be conscious of where the spiked vehicle will go after it loses control, do not spike people into gas stations or off cliffs.

  • Take vehicle weight into mind and see if it's safe beforing executing

Spike strips must be approved by highest unit on scene.

All Calls

All Calls are defined as situations causing a serious threat to the general public.

Shots fired alone or indirectly are not an all call until fire is ‘effective’ This means once it is coming close enough to you that you feel you are in imminent danger or being struck by bullets.

During statewide patrols, there is a level system in place regarding All Calls:

  • Level 1 All Call = All available units in the same county will respond.

  • Level 2 All Call = All available units in the state will respond.

Calls

Responding to calls in a very timely manner is a mandatory requirement for any department, It's a part of our job as public servants.

Just because the priority timer is about to hit 0 is not an execute to not respond to calls, pull over speeders, and more. Do other LEO roleplay than just responding to bank robberies, do some productive while on duty.

While performing any sort of traffic stop, civilian stop, and others. Its department-wide requirement is to create a call in the CAD and it should be completed as soon as possible.
