​
Overview

Emergency Lighting System (ELS) is strictly regulated and must only be used in a controlled and professional manner while on duty. Misuse of ELS may result in restrictions or removal of access for the entire staff team.

​
Approved Usage

ELS may only be used under the following conditions:
  • Stage 1 ELS is permitted at all times while on duty.
  • Staff may use ELS (Stage 1) while patrolling or responding to situations.
  • Staff may initiate traffic stops using ELS; however, it is recommended to use moderation commands rather than relying on vehicle interaction.

​
Prohibited Usage

ELS must NOT be used for:
  • Pursuits (10-80 situations)
  • Roleplay escalation or chase initiation
  • Any form of aggressive driving or enforcement outside moderation duties
  • Any non-professional or abusive behaviour
ELS is not to be used as a tool for gameplay advantage or pursuit engagement.

​
Professional Expectations

Staff are expected to:
  • Use moderation commands over vehicle interaction whenever possible
  • Maintain professionalism while on duty
  • Avoid unnecessary activation or misuse of ELS
  • Ensure ELS usage does not interfere with roleplay flow

​
Consequences of Misuse

Improper use or abuse of ELS may result in:
  • Restrictions placed on ELS access for the entire staff team
  • Strikes or disciplinary action depending on severity
  • Removal of privileges for repeated or severe misuse

​
Important Notes

  • ELS is a support tool for moderation, not a pursuit or enforcement system.
  • All staff members are expected to use ELS responsibly and professionally at all times.
  • Misuse affects not only the individual but may result in team-wide restrictions.
