Argonath RPG Police

Welcome to ARPD, Argonath RPG Police Department.

If you are reading this then you have probably been playing on Argonath as law enforcement officer, or have the intentions to do so. There for, welcome to ARPD, the law enforcement department of Argonath RPG.

The structure of ARPD is simple and at the same time complicated. But the first thing you should know is that every player who dresses up in the blue colour is regarded as law enforcer. This brings advantages, but it also brings responsibility. Argonath is a RPG server. This means that when you play, you are using your imagination to play an invented character, based on existing or non-existing characters. We are one of the few servers who believe in freedom of play, meaning that everyone can go on duty and become a law enforcer, or cop as they are often referred to. Contrary to what you may see elsewhere, there are no scores on Argonath.

You do not get a score for fining, suspecting, jailing or killing criminals. On the contrary, you can have fun without doing any of that. A constant pattern of finding people to suspect, jail or kill will get boring, and the intention is to fight the boredom by doing the unexpected. Remember that for role play all you need is imagination, and the best way is to add some humour in to it. When you look around you will see that we operate a number of servers, and ARPD has a representation on all of them. Every server has its own department, and every department has its own rules. 

You are never obliged to be registered here, or to be accepted in to any of the departments to play as law enforcer. However all law enforcers need to obey the following rules:

• All server rules must be followed.
• You are law enforcer, this means you must act like one
• Be polite, even if you wish to be strict
• Never suspect people without a valid reason
• If you are to give a fine, do not suspect
• If people resist arrest, do not shoot them at once
• Only use firearms when your life or that of civilians is in immediate danger
• Never use firearms against a suspect that does not show a weapon
• Use the PD cars as much as possible
• Use the police radio as much as possible
• Try not to work alone. Its more fun to work with others, especially experienced players

​​

​​When you wish to dedicate most if not all your time to work as law enforcer, joining one of the departments is what you should do. When becoming a cadet, and later officer or higher you have to give up some freedom. The departments have more strict regulations as just trying to act like a cop, they require you to follow stricter guidelines and procedures. This is not for all, but those who know a little about real cop work will actually enjoy it. And once you have acquired the knowledge and training, you might aim for one of the special divisions where you can use special weapons and tactics.
