Introduction to Police/What to do in a call
Now, as we all know the police fight crime. Both in game and real life, they go on life threatening situations, preform traffic stops and go on patrol.

The police car has about 2 police officers in it, the SUV about 5 or 4, and the SWAT van has about 5,6,7 SWAT officers.

Now, here is an idea of what to do in a call.

Now, if you come across a gunman, shooting cars and people. What you would need to do, get an idea of what you are going to do. It is better to get an idea of what to do then send all of the police department and SWAT. Second, put units on standby. You would want atleast 1x Fire engine and 1x Ambulance. The fire fighers will put out any car fires the gunman has caused, and the ambulance will treat the victims. Third, execute idea, do the idea. If you get him in jail, great! If you kill him, also great!

Now, after this call, you might get points, depending if you failed or passed! Send back all your units back to the PD or FD or Hospital.

You can use the tactic you used in many other calls.
Editor
Now, you might ask me, "What does the editor have anything to do with the police?? This is a guide about the police not the editor ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥." But I say, the editor has everything to do with the police.

You see, the editor can move police cars around, make it a dramatic scene for some youtuber clickbait. Make it look cool and also make original funny jokes with the police cars.

The editor can also move the lightbar around, insert more lightbars, edit the police cars, in some cases make them really big with like 20 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lightbars.

Yeah, the editor can be useful. Also the editor can be used to insert cars if you need more. Like I did when I found out that a FBI car was in my police section and I never noticed.

The editor can also be used to help with making the police in the right place that you try to do it in game but never can because they always move 1 or 2 bricks too far.

Thats the editor for you. If you dont know how to get the editor, here is how to do it.
Option 1: Go to the properties of 911 First Responders through your library, and set your launch options, adding the following: -editor.

Option 2: Create a desktop shortcut (not through Steam) of the Em4.exe, and add -editor to the end of the target line.

Example: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\911 First Responders\Em4.exe" -editor

Patrols
Now, you can send (in most mods) units to patrol.

Make sure you send them to different parts of the map before you do send them on patrol though, if you don't, they'll just start one huge convoy. It can be very frustrating.

Now, units on patrol are a good thing, because they can respond to calls quicker than it would be to get a unit out of the PD and send it there. (Which is a pain)

Units on patrol will get stuck in traffic/cause traffic because of their stupidity, like seriously, once I had one diagonal in a 4 way intersection. Horrible.

In most mods, SWAT units cannot patrol, this is realistic as you never saw a SWAT Van patrolling down the neighbourhood. Actually never.
Chase Script
In most mods, the police unit usually has a chase script. The chase script means if you select a police officer/car and right click a person/car. The person gets arrested by the police officer. If a car then the car gets fined for what ever reason the game gives it. You also get points

Some mods don't have it. Some do, its up to the mod programmers/scripters if they want to add it in.
Conclusion
Hope this guide has helped you! Now this is the end.

Stephen, in the Montana mod the standby allows units to be called in from via a panic button or by radio. Standby just makes them ready for calls whilst stationary

In the Montana mod there's cars that are in editor but not actually in game. How do I make these show up on the vehicle list?
