Recruitment Policies
Introduction
Although the Federal Bureau of Investigation Recruitment is intended to be a small division of fine Agents, recruitment is always an issue. This chapter will cover the policies on recruitment of new Agents in the department.

How do I submit an application?
To submit an application, simply fill out an Application Form and submit it to the recruitment department. Be sure to answer every question on the application form in as detailed of a fashion as possible. Your initial recruitment will be decided by your knowledge, competence, and working capability. Be sure to show these things when applying, and continue to show them during your career as in the Agents event that you are recruited.

I've submitted an application. Now what?
If you were DENIED then either follow the instructions of the recruiting officer as stated on your application, try again after some time has passed and you have improved yourself, or consider the fact that you are not meant for FBI work.

If you were ACCEPTED, then congratulations! You are one step closer to possibly becoming a FBI Agent! After your application is accepted, you will need to begin the next phase of recruitment: an Interview, followed by Field Testing. This is also commonly known as "Ride-alongs."

Field Testing Procedures

To become a State Trooper, you will need to take two different tests to pass the recruitment phase. Grading of these tests will be explained momentarily.

Each test will be composed of two different parts: General Knowledge and Vehicle Skills.
Recruit Name:
Trooper Name:
General Knowledge
#/10 Comments:
Driving Skills
#/10 Pass/Pass+/Fail Comments:

The following is a explanation of the Pass/Pass+/Fail rating:
Pass = Chase car successfully followed the lead car
Pass+ = Chase car successfully made the lead car come to a complete stop**
Fail = Chase car lost the lead car completely, chase car was destroyed, the possible recruit gave up the chase, or the possible recruit cheated.

My application was accepted and I passed the tests.
Congratulations, you are now a proud employee of the Federal Bureau of Investigation!

Standard Operation Procedures
Being On or Off Duty
Troopers are to be on duty at all times, unless allowed or directed by a Director or higher. Troopers may not go off duty to perform "undercover" tasks. Troopers on duty are to maintain their proper uniform and perform their proper duties.

Backup Calls
Troopers are to respond to all backup calls as soon as physically possible, regardless of the department. As soon as the assistance is provided and the situation has cleared up, the Trooper is to return to their duties.

Emergency Service Calls
Civilians calling for assistance are to be responded to as soon as the emergency necessitates. Obviously, a response to a traffic collision is not as dire as a response to a shooting.

Traffic Incursions
During standard patrol, Troopers are required to obey and follow all traffic rules. It is the duty of the Trooper to pull over and warn, ticket, or possibly arrest all violators of traffic laws. The only time a Trooper may violate traffic laws is when it is an emergency, and the overhead lights and sirens are on.

Traffic Collisions
Traffic collisions occur when two vehicles collide, or when a vehicle causes more than $50 of damage to state, civilian, or military property. The incident must be properly documented, and a fine is to be incurred on the guilty party.

Patrols
Patrols are to be focused on , rural areas, and areas of high traffic. Areas of high traffic are considered main roads, or busy roads. Recruits may not patrol alone. If the recruit is not able to find a patrol partner, it is highly suggested that they work "station duty." Although Troopers and higher are permitted to patrol alone, it is highly advised and preferred to work in pairs.

High Speed Pursuits
In the event that a vehicle refuses to pull over, the fleeing party will automatically come under arrest. Stop the vehicle as soon as possible, while creating as little property damage as possible. In the event that a vehicle does not pull over and is obviously fleeing, or does not pull over after two full warnings, the passenger of the patrol car is permitted to fire upon the fleeing vehicle in order to disable it.

Injury to Persons
In the event that a person is injured, the Patrolman is required to assist that person. Contacting medical staff, or transportation to a nearby hospital is suggested. If the person is critically injured, and they are guilty of breaking the law, it is required that the Trooper file a report. While waiting on the ambulances to arrive, or as they person is being taken by an ambulance, obtain their identification and issue a warrant. Be sure to pick up the guilty party after they are released from the hospital.

Houses
In the event that a person with a warrant is in a house, you will need to obtain a warrant to search the house for that person. Remeber to follow the "plain sight" policy on any illegal items outside of what the warrant covers.
In the event that a person is being pursued and they flee into a house, you will not need a warrant. You may enter the house to capture the perpetrator.
