Every single ambulance tasking - broken ankle through to cardiac arrest - has the potential to require critical care. Would the game support a mechanic where each individual patient has a probability of requiring HEMS (or ground based critical care) from 0.1% for a non-injury fall through to, say, 5% for cardiac arrest? FWIW, I can honestly say there isn't a single category of call that I haven't gone to.

Similarly, every job has the potential to be a Panic Button Activation. Could this be ported across to ambulance missions (perhaps with a slightly lower frequency!) requiring perhaps 1 OTL, 5 police cars, 1 DSU.

I think for most of the bigger players AOs essentially replaced OTLs, I certainly use them as operational commander roles - LOMs/DOMs/COMs. If you only use them as tactical commanders - one per county or so - you'd never get the benefit of the auto transport.

And apart from anything else, I'm not sure I've ever met an ambo tactical commander outside their office!

Given the relative proportions of jobs that require it, isn't 'critical care' in MC more akin to paramedic than real CC?

It would be a really interesting mechanic and certainly reflect reality.

I reckon the scale of Mission Chief might make it really complex - as soon as you have more than a dozen jobs ongoing and another dozen pending I suspect it would very quickly get too difficult to manage.

However, potentially, a similar mechanic to patrol route could be used to automatically fill standby points.

Quote from TACRfan

A lot of the time, traffic aren’t available to attend traffic based jobs and are committed elsewhere, not the fault of the devs or us, but the fault of a lack of traffic units in general.

Our experiences may differ, I appreciate that I only see injury RTCs, but I can't think of any that I've been to - across a range of counties, urban to very remote - where traffic haven't attended (even if they're late!).

Did we forget these were in the game?

Can they be added to bridge strike, overturned caravan, multi-vehicle major incidents, HGV rollover, coach rollover and all the other traffic based dramas that they're currently not required for pls?

After the last update with increased police training/roles, is there any interest in using them for existing missions?

Do you think that the duty inspector ought to tip out for, say, a firearms attack (major incident) or that a sergeant should go and have a look at a stabbing on their patch?

I agree. We have training for ambulance and police commanders now.

I'm struggling to focus on paint this week.

Could I ask someone to make Gwent, South Wales & Dyfed Powis police, Wales Ambulance Service & South Wales Fire & Rescue please?

Thanks.

Which forces are using carriers to transport detainees?

Every Police & Crime Comissioner must publish a list of property that they (their police service) owns.

A hunt through their webpage will find the list. A bit of work with Google maps (satellite & street view) will tell you if it's a 'live' police station.

Norfolk is here;

A Police Support Unit should be standardised;

1 Inspector

3 Sergeants

21 Constables

3 Drivers

3 carriers

I think PSU Medic use varies by force. Sometimes they're integrated into the PSUs, sometimes they're separate, sometimes it's job-by-job.

Not from the hospital itself but you do get a transport credit.

But the credits you get for transport are very clearly labelled as "Transport",

Quote from Gooochy

What is worse is when a mass cas call needs hems and CC and tnw helicopters don't treat the paitents that need them

That's actually pretty realistic.

At most major incidents, the first HEMS resource (or MERIT if you prefer) are going to fill command functions. JESIP is light on the role of HEMS specifically, but when doctors turn up the priority would normally be to get an MA and CCS Medical Lead in place before actually using a HEMS team as a treating resource in the CCS.

Quote from ChiefBoden61

it should say "hospital alliance" in your account credits

I'm pretty sure this is the tax for patients transported to your hospital by other players.

You don't make money from your own patients at your own hospital.

I kind of want to see HEMS being required at more of the major incidents. In most systems, HEMS attends major incidents to fill the Medical Advisor or CCS Medical Lead roles rather than to treat individual patients.

Only one requests transport (I think) but two are leaving the mission with one patient.

So, if you look at the mission, you'd see;

-----------------------------------

Imogen T

C2

Erin K

C2

We need: Ambulance

-----

Ambo 1 (CC)

Patient: Imogen T

Ambo 2

Patient: Imogen T

RRV 1

Patient: Erin K

-----------------------------------

Ambo 1 would then request transport and be assigned a destination (although I think this also happens with ambulance officers).

And then you'd see;

-----------------------------------

Erin K

C2

We need: Ambulance

-----

RRV 1

Patient: Erin K

-----------------------------------

I think Ambulance 2 should then be still on scene to pick up that second patient.

Something has changed recently, around the time of the removal of HEMS.

If I send a CC RRV, CC ambulance & an ambulance to an incident with two patients needing critical care, the two ambulances will attend one of the patients and both will transfer that single to hospital.

Is this deliberate?

(p.s. Yes, I could train all my ambos in CC, that's not what I'm asking)

What's the POI limit?

Is that per user or total across the game?
