6. Civilian Conduct

Getting Started
6.1.1: Creating a QP/QVR
QPs/QVRs are a requirement and are used by police to run your information. QP stands for 'Query Person' and QVR  stands for 'Query Vehicle Registration'.
The process of creating a QP/QVR has been streamlined as much as possible but still requires some work from civilians.

To create a QP, you must first register a character. These characters are persistent and will save across server/game restarts.
To create a character, you must use the /civ command and click the 'Create Character' button at the top of the menu.
Enter a first name followed by a last name as prompted The menu will then ask you for a QP.

QPs are formatted specifically to provide police with the information they need. There are 2 templates below for you to use and swap out the details.

"John Smith male not known not wanted nil flags comes back to a 271 address nil actives class 1  full license 0 demerits"
"John Smith male known and wanted for theft flags for carries weapons comes back to a 106 address nil 1 license 20 demerits"

Once you have entered your QP, your character will be created. This may take up to 2 seconds. Once your character is created, you will have to mark it as 'active'. 
You can have multiple characters active at once, but your characters will only remain active while you are in-game. Once you leave the game and re-join, you will have to use /civ again, select your character, and select the 'log in' button to mark it as active.

QVRs are used by police to run a vehicle's information and are a requirement for using vehicles as a civilian. QVRs will not save across restarts.
If you are using a vehicle as a civ, you need to create a QVR for that vehicle.

To create a QVR, use /civ. QVRs are formatted to provide police with the information they need. Use the details below and swap out the details.

"Comes back to a green,toyota hilux utility registered to a John Smith of a 231 address license and reg both current nil flags"
"Comes back to a green, toyota hilux utility registered to a John Smith of a 231 address license and reg both current flags stolen"

Congratulations! You've successfully setup a QP & QVR. As previously mentioned, these aren't persistent and will have to be re-created after server restarts.
We recommend writing these down somewhere to copy/paste and save you time every time you join.

6.1.2: Going off duty
As an emergency-based server, the default duty status is on-duty. As a civilian, you need to be off duty. This is a requirement and allows police to cuff/drag you.
To go off duty, use /offduty. This is a requirement every time you join the server and wish to play as a civilian.

6.1.3: Interacting with Emergency Services
Civilians are no longer bound by rules to create RP scenarios. However it is encouraged they do whilst in AOP.  Civs still must RP with emergency services should they interact. 
(Civilians have more opportunity to RP between each other and create semi story lines or work a day to day job (Its up to your imagination. CIV-RP suddenly is no longer a chore and a choice. Calls will still be made as it remain the baseline ethos of CIV-RP though the pressure is removed. Normal server rules still apply in the sense of cop baiting etc.)

6.1.4: Outside of AOP
Civilians are able to explore the island outside of AOP but are not to create any calls outside of AOP. 
(Normal server rules still apply, however this will allow civs who need a break or want to do their own thing to take a breather or take time to find new interesting locations to create scenarios in future.)

Important Information
6.2.1: Priorities
We use a priority system to ensure the police aren't overloaded with priority jobs that require a large police response.
The priority status is displayed on the bottom left of your screen, and will either display Inactive, Cooldown, or Priority.

When the status is either 'Cooldown' or 'Priority' and you do not currently hold the active 'Priority', you cannot do a priority job.
Examples of a priority job are:
    - Fleeing police
    - Shooting/attacking/stabbing/harming police
    - Events that require a large scale police response (Hostage situations, barricaded subjects, kidnapping, etc)

If the status is 'Inactive', and you wish to do a priority, you may claim the priority status by using /inp. 
Once you have finished with your priority job, use /cooldown to end the job.

6.2.2: Placing 111 calls
Creating 111/105 calls is an important part of Civ RP. Before placing a 111 call, check the bottom left-hand corner of your screen, and look for the 'Active Comms' display.
If Active Comms is not active for the department you wish to create a call for, use the /111 command. The /105 command can also be used for non-emergency police calls.
If the Active Comms section displays 'Call Taker', use the radio to connect to channel 4, and you will speak to a 111 call taker.

6.2.3: Restricted Civ RP
The following types of RP are prohibited from being performed;
    6.2.3.1: Acts of terror (Terrorism), including bomb threats
