| Purpose | Recommended Script / Approach | |---------|-------------------------------| | | Look for a customizable MDT that supports custody logs, warrant entries, and evidence photos. | | Pursuit & Traffic | Speed cameras, ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) linked to stolen/flagged vehicles. | | Radio | Mumble-linked radio with line-of-sight restrictions (e.g., Radio+ or equivalent). | | Uniforms | High-vis Metropolitan vests, flat caps, and period-correct or modern Met attire (avoid generic US-style sheriff gear). | | Custody | Processing cells with timers for detention, charge selection, and court referral systems. | Common Pitfalls to Avoid ❌ Americanized terminology – "10-4," "SWAT," "sheriff," "felony stop." Replace with "received," "ARV/MO19," no sheriff equivalent, "high-risk stop."

❌ – A realistic Met faction includes neighborhood policing, school visits (roleplayed), and responding to noise complaints or mental health crises—not just chasing supercars.

❌ – Officers should show fatigue, paperwork frustration, camaraderie, and ethical dilemmas. FiveM roleplay thrives on imperfect, believable characters. Sample Scene: A Realistic Met Response Scenario: Late night. Two units (IR1 and IR3) respond to a report of an assault outside a nightclub.

❌ – The vast majority of Met officers are unarmed. Only specialized ARV units should draw firearms, and only after clear authorization.
