1. Introduction
This handbook contains information on the National Guard of San Andreas. It is aimed not only at the public, but also towards our staff as a guide for common practice and code of conduct.
To the Public
Dear Citizens of San Andreas,
The National Guard have a mission to fill, and that mission is to protect the state of San Andreas from dangerous criminals by keeping them locked up in prison, and of curse help the LSPD and SASP if they need us. With your best interests at heart and a powerful group of Guards, we will achieve this.
Please remember:
* the National Guard isn't a group of trigger-happy people who shoot on sight
* we are not here to mess around
* we do not condone any corrupt activities, anybody who is found out will be fired
3. Basic Information
What do we do?
The National Guard is a strong group of men and women who work in DeMorgan, a high security prison for the dangerous criminals of San Andreas. Although we do not normally enter cities, nor do we arrest, we are occasionally called in for special situations, like catching heavily armed criminals or assisting with SWAT situations, and even terrorist threats.
What are the jurisdictions
The National Guard is very strict about where our Soldiers are stationed and knowing when somebody is too close to the prison, DeMorgan. Two maps have been created for not only Soldiers to use for reference, but also Civilians and other organisations like the LSPD so that they know the different zones.
Simple Map
- Standard map used by GTA: San Andreas
LSPD Jurisdiction is within Los Santos.
Red zone, the NG may shoot on sight.
Orange zone, the NG may arrest on sight.
Yellow zone, the NG may escort anybody in this area back to town.
Uncoloured, this area may be entered by NG and LSPD alike.
4. Advanced Information
Firstly, and most importantly, make sure you go to the locker room at out HQ and go on duty. Type /NG and click on duty, and then type it again and get your weapons from the armory section of the menu.
Radio Chat
/r(adio) <message>
This is used to speak with the other members of the NG. This is meant to stay IC as often as possible.
Department Chat
/d(epartment) <message>
Similar to the /r command, this is used to not only communicate with fellow NG officers, but also communicate with members of the other factions (FBI, LSFMD, and LSPD). Just like the radio chat, this is meant to stay IC, but the difference between /d and /r chat is that there will be no OOC chat in /d unless its completely necessary.
Megaphone
/m(egaphone) <message>
The megaphone allows you to instruct citizens from a farther distance than /s. The megaphone can only be used in government vehicles. Binds for megaphones are allowed, but are to be kept to no longer than two lines.
Wanted List
/wanted
The wanted list shows the current wanted suspects. It will display their name along with how many warrants they have.
Mobile Data Computer
/mdc <name/ID>
The Mobile Data Computer will list a suspects crimes (though, for the most part, unfortunately, this is not the case). This should be used after you have received a suspects identification. * Generally not to be used by the NG
Suspect System
/su(spect) <name/ID> <crime>
This command is never to be abused. The suspecting system allows you to place warrants for committing crimes on a suspect, so that you can subsequently have them arrested. You are NOT allowed, at any point in time, to place metagamed warrants on anyone. If you are caught doing so, you risk major infraction strikes and possible suspension time. * Generally not to be used by the NG
When suspecting a person, ensure that you have some form of identification from that person. For the most part, the person will show you their license, however, this is not always the case. If they refuse to show you any form of identification, you are allowed to RP some way of finding out their name and information (fingerprint scan, DNA test, etc.).
Tickets
/ticket <name/ID> <price> <crime>
This is how you can ticket individuals for smaller crimes. Generally, you should only ticket suspects if they've only committed one crime, or otherwise, a series of small crimes. Prices should stay low, never exceeding $10,000. Also, please keep in mind that you do need the suspects name before you are allowed to ticket them. * Generally not to be used by the NG
Deliver
/deliver <name/ID> & /ndeliver <name/ID>
You can deliver suspects if they are the Most Wanted and are at the plane with a star in the Los Santos Airport, however that should be left to the LSPD and FBI.
N-Delivering suspects will automatically put them into DeMorgan for half an hour, you should completely RP the delivering and have them down near the cells entrance or in the cells already. It can be used anywhere, however if anybody starts prisoning people randomly they will be fired from the National Guard and prisoned themselves for abuse.
Frisk/Search
/frisk <name/ID>
Frisking suspects allows you to view what items they have on them. Such items that may come up include: Crack, Materials, and Weapons (MP5, Desert Eagle, etc.). When frisking someone, always put on a pair of gloves prior to using the command. It is imperative that you do so.
Taking Items
/take <item name> <name/ID>
Taking items from a suspect can be quite useful, but should seldom be used. You have to be at least the rank of officer to take items. The only time you can EVER take items is weapons during an arrest. NEVER LICENSES. Doing so will likely get you demoted or fired.
Tazer
/tazer
The tazer is probably your most important tool as a Soldier. This should never be abused. When using the tazer, it tazes the closest person to you for a total of eight seconds. Keep in mind, you cannot taze other people in the LSPD, FBI or NG. The golden rule about the tazer is that if the suspect has a gun out AT ALL, the tazer is off-limits. This is to avoid any possible rushtazing situations. Also, prior to tazing someone, please use something along the lines of /me pulls out a stungun and aims it at the suspect. This is to ensure that the taze was properly RPed.
Cuffing Suspects
/cuff <name/ID>
Cuffing suspects allows you to put them in your custody. You can only cuff a suspect if they've either been tazed or if they have their hands up (using the /handsup command). Cuffs do break after four minutes of initially being cuffed, so keep a watch on your time.
Detaining Suspects
/detain <name/ID> <seat id>
Detaining suspects allows you to place them in your car. To RP a detain correctly, position your car so that the suspect is next to the door that you will be detaining them to, otherwise, a simple /me grabs the suspect by the collar of their shirt should suffice. The seat IDs are as follows: 1 - Passenger seat, 2 - Rear driver-side seat, and 3 - Rear passenger-side seat.
Deploying Roadspikes
/deployspikes
Deploying roadspikes allows you to setup a simple roadspike to stop vehicles entirely. This command can only used by a rank four or above (Colonel and above). When a vehicle hits the roadspike, their car will jump a bit, causing the suspect to lose a good majority of their health and their car getting wrecked.
Destroying Roadspikes
/destroyspikes
Destroying roadspikes allows you to remove a roadspike, so long as you're right next to it. This command can only be used by a rank 4 and above(Colonel and above).
5. Vehicle Information
Vehicles may only be driven with permission from a Major or higher, otherwise you must use civilian vehicles.
Patriot:
The 'Patriot' is a four-doored vehicle and is relatively fast. It's used for standard Humvee Patrol around the HQ or LS if you got permission, as well as arresting trespassers or escorting escapees back to the prison.
Barracks:
A two-doored slow vehicle. Since it can't be driven out of DeMorgan it should just be used to arrest trespassers or escapees if they are inside the facility already and no Patriot's are available.
Cargobob:
A big two-seated helicopter. Useful to chase after other helicopters attempting to land in or near
DeMorgan, there is a MOD that allows this heli to carry persons and some vehicles inside it.
Hydra:
This fierce Army jet is equipped with heat seeking missiles, making it extremely hard to miss once locked on. It is easily the fastest aircraft available but as a result can make it a bit harder to aim and get a lock on other vehicles or aircraft.It can only be used by Majors or above from AOS division.
7. Chain of Command
You are in your position for one reason, to obtain a better understanding of how the police department works. So if someone is a higher rank than you and tell you something you better do it. As a cadet you may feel like you know everything there is to know. Trust us you don't. Keep in mind once you screw around at any rank chances are you will be removed. Respect everyone in the police department no mater what their rank is.
CPR
Courtesy
Professionalism
Respect
Remember this!

12. Situations
Situation 1: The prisoners are escaping, you are the only Soldier in base

and you are to open fire on the prisoners due to the fact they spawn back into their cells when
they die.
Situation 2: Someone is running for the cell button, I am the only one
on cell duty and I do not got the time to run and taze him.
- You need to warn him once, if he continues on running you need to open fire on will.
Before opening fire you will need to report it in the radio so the other soldiers
can get ready to arrest the escaping prisoners when the cells get open.
Situation 3: There is two gangs outside the Main Gate with guns out,
they are going to attack the base.
- If they have their guns out, you need to load up and stack on the towers
