Declined Separate radio channels for MET Ops (AFO/RTPC/DSU)

[Jezus]

Hello all,

After seeing a great idea by LT.Saint in RTPC musteroom, I wanted to bring the idea here to see if it could be implemented. This suggestion stems from the idea of having AFO/RTPC/DSU run in a separate channel when control is on. The idea behind this allows for CID and ERT to be in Ch1 for instance and have MET Ops in another channel. By creating this separation, it would tackle many issues, but also incorporate more realism into the game.

For example, by having MET Ops in a separate channel, it would provide them a space to discuss tactics, perform DRAs and utilise each other when responding to bigger jobs without having to take up valuable air time and allow for LAS, LFB and ERT to communicate in Ch1 alongside control. For example, AFO TPAC assisting in a pursuit when required. It's fair to say that RTPC, AFO and DSU are all very specialist divisions and work very closely with each other. By having them in a separate channel, it allows for better communication between these divisions. Secondly, we all know there is an issue with officers attaching to FTS's when not trained to do so and by having a different channel would therefore prevent this from happening.

F2 backup requests would still work the same way in that a unit from MET Ops can respond to a backup request and then utilise speaking face to face with the officer.

All in all, this idea adds way more realism to the game as MET Ops operate out of a different radio channel to regular response. It could even incorporate Ops1 by having them sat in MET Ops channel so they can be contacted directly and be able to hear the comms between MET Ops divisions and help with their justification to authorise stuff.

Ideally, two controllers would need to be on. One for Ch1 and the other for MET Ops.

Finally, it would allow for RTPC/AFO/DSU calls to be managed separately by control and utilized in MET Ops channel and keep ERT jobs separate to avoid divs stepping on each others toes.

What does everyone think?

Second this!

Great idea, RTPC wouldn't then need to go to a separate channel either during a pursuit as it's only going to be the rtpc bunch in there anyway and isn't going to clog up that much.

Great suggestion!

Brilliant idea, i like the fact this idea brings in realism and can also create a better experience for the different divisions whilst in the server.

Hi Jezus,

Thank you for your suggestion and taking the time to do write this up. So there are a multiple takes on this overall but I do think that you have explained it well and the changes are warranted.

When would you be looking to utilise this? Is there a particular time you wanted this channel configuration in place or would it try to be during general operations?

Thanks!

I like this idea. I think it could work very well on Friday night operations

Hello Jezus,

I have discussed this alongside Senior Police Command & Senior Management and have discovered this has been implemented in the past, but was removed due to an array of reasons. Unfortunately, these outnumber the positives of having the channel so therefore, I am going to have to mark this suggestion as declined.

Thanks for suggesting,
