You should never argue or have a random discussion on this channel. For private discussions, attempt to gain the other party's phone number and contact them privately. For example, LSFMD EMU-21 to LSPD 1L20, send traffic.
2.2.3. Central Dispatch (( Discord Dispatch ))

3.2. Patrol Regulations:
3.2.1. Patrolling as Paramedic/Firefighter Trainee
Trainees are generally students in the LSFMD academy, and hence, are not allowed any type of duty. They are expected to remain at reception duty often and help out visiting civilians. They are expected to complete their assigned Academy course, and only when they are required to gain the knowledge they patrol with EMT-I/EFT-I and above. A Trainee violating the above may face disciplinary actions.
3.2.2. Patrolling as Paramedic/Firefighter I or above
Any Paramedic/Firefighter I and all the ranks above him are allowed to patrol in a group or solo. During patrols, the medic/firefighter periodically gives reports about his patrol and surroundings. They are expected to keep their GPS turned on and be connected to the Central Dispatch at all times. During any situation, they are expected to quickly relay information to other units and to keep their Beacon active. A medic/firefighter is not allowed to idle or mess around during active patrol.
3.2.3. Driving on patrol
Whilst on patrol, you are expected to follow driving laws at all times, such as using the correct lane of travel and stopping at every intersection. You are to drive safely and represent the Los Santos Fire & Medical Department properly. The only exemption to this rule is when you are responding to a call with Status-5e only; status-5 won't be allowed for an exception to this rule.
3.2.4. Solo patrolling
Medics/Firefighters ranked Paramedic/Firefighter I or above are entitled to Solo patrols unless another Medic/Firefighter needs a partner. If anyone decides to patrol alone, they need to ensure that they patrol in a sector that has another unit patrolling it, to make a backup response faster. The Trainee is not allowed to participate in any active situations, as is the norm for their rank. It is still recommended for trainees to stick to units of two for safety precautions, as well as to increase duty efficiency. If found patrolling alone in isolated sectors, disciplinary actions can be issued.

5.0. Department Policies
5.1. Disciplinary Actions:
The Strike action system was brought. This was done because the system was deemed too static and outdated when it came to issuing physical punishments to employees who had committed misconduct. Every employee of LSFD is obliged to report any form of employee misconduct by colleagues to the High Command team. Failure to report any form of misconduct or unwanted behavior can result in strike action being issued. Furthermore, if you are found intentionally covering up for the said misbehaving employee, you will most likely face termination or even a faction ban. The punishment will depend on the severity of the situation.
5.1.1. Strike - 1
The first strike X will be issued for conducting inappropriate behavior while on-duty, sleeping while on-duty (( AFK )), and giving your friend, parent, or whomever a ride-along. The employee will receive the first strike - this will be a first warning. This strike is only for ON-DUTY.
5.1.2. Strike - 2
The second strike XX will be issued on any kind of modification over department vehicles, found recklessly driving while on-duty, or ignoring the calls. At receiving the second strike, the employee will be demoted, and for trainees, they will be removed from the department. This strike is only for ON-DUTY.
5.1.3. Strike -3
The third strike XXX will be issued for verbally abusing while on-duty, abusing LSFD tools. Upon receiving the third strike, you will be suspended from the department depending on the situation you created. This strike is only for ON-DUTY.
5.1.4. Strike - 4
The fourth strike XXXX will be issued on committing any physically harmful behavior, such as an attempt at murder while on-duty, or stealing a vehicle. Upon receiving the fourth strike, you will be blacklisted from the department, which means you will no longer be able to apply for LSFD ever again. This strike is for both ON-DUTY & OFF-DUTY.
