Police Team

The police team serve as law enforcement to the jail and the town of Walworth, and they have many tasks to do to run the prison, such as arresting escaping prisoners and fugitives, making sure everyone follows the rules, and more. (Does anyone have links to the pilot outfit in the catalog?)

Facts and More
''The police are here to enforce the rules of the prison. They keep the prisoners in line and discipline them when necessary. They also protect the facility from attackers trying to break people out.''

Police Team Armoury
The police can spawn in one of three main spawn locations. Two are inside the police guard room, and the other is in the cafeteria's kitchen. They start off with a Beretta M9, Handcuffs and Taser.

In the armoury is the security system, with access to multiple cameras in every major room, an ammo box, the cafeteria message displayer and the armoury's weapons, uniforms and helmets.

When in the armoury, police can equip one of the four following.

Officer Pass
This allows them to get the Spas-12, M16 and the Police Officer Hat. This pass is free.

Swat Pass
This allows them to get the M60, M98B and the UMP-45, a SWAT uniform, a Riot Shield and 4 different types of helmets.

Spec Ops Pass
This allows them to get the M14, ACR and the Revolver, a Spec Ops uniform, 3 different types of hats, and two different types of glasses.

Pilot Pass
This allows them to get the Parachute, 5 different types of helmets, a pair of glasses, and the Military Chopper.

ATV Pass
Grants the user a special selection of ATVs, uniform and 4 types of helmets.

Mercenary Pass
Police who go rogue can step on the fugitive pad or not on the fugitive base and become a disguised mercenary. This grants them the AK47-U, L86A2, S&W 638, the free guns, (AK47, M1014, Makarov and Hammer), a uniform, sunglasses, a special hair and two mercenary-themed masks.

Prisoners and fugitives are also able to get these, which often results in prisoners easily being able to disguise as a police officer from far away.

Helicopters
Police can access every single location that needs keycard access without use of anything, and get access as a free to play player to the helicopters and police car. The helicopters automatically start out as police owned in the Helicopters Area, meaning only prisoners and fugitives can shoot it down when a new helicopter spawns.

ATVs
Gamepass users can also get the ATV Gamepass, which lets them drive in a decently fast vehicle that is outside of Walworth's Criminal Base, and the ATV Police Building.

Doors
Since police are able to open every door, if on a VIP server, you are able to keep the Yard Door closed or open until Yard Time on the first day. They are also able to close cell doors, open and close the J-Block doors at certain times, and open other doors throughout the prison.

Roleplay
Roleplay is usually a rare thing on servers, but still is pretty active on VIP servers. Police are great opportunities to do role-play with, as they are able to close cell doors, keep an eye on cameras, be on the watchtower and more, like a regular prison in real life.

Regular Roleplay
There are still examples of jail role-play, life role-play and more on Redwood Prison, but it mostly has moved on to private servers. Some role-play features are still used, like co-ordinating attacks on the criminal base as police and more.

Disguise Roleplay
While not a popular method of roleplay, disguise role-play usually finds the police hiding as mercenaries and acting like so. This can result in the police knowing when to arrest someone, when raids are going to happen, etc.

Strategy
Many police use the common strategy of mass-arresting people without penalty, and defending the armoury and helicopter area. Although, there are a few others people use.

Raiding
Many police also use this. They gear up with 2-4 people, fly basic helicopters and just raid Walworth, the path between the prison and Walworth or any places captured by fugitives. Police on these raiding missions usually use the basic gear or pilot associated gear, and attack with close combat.

Blockading
Not a very used strategy, many people used to blockade the vents with police or helpful fugitives, and block the gates, preventing many ways of escape. This strategy is not used often anymore, although you will see some players blocking Walworth off when doing the raid strategy to stop new inmates coming in.

Abusing
Many guards who can be smart abuse the handcuffs and infinite ammo glitch to mass taze and arrest any criminals or prisoners. This can be annoying if a hacker manages to do this strategy, but it is rare.
