I believe particular new training courses would be good, especially USAR, Technical Rescue, Fire Ranks, etc.
If Police have the ability to have Sergeant and Inspector Education Courses, Fire should be able to have Crew Manager, Watch Manager, etc.
Some of the other courses you have stated are good as well and would help myself too. Perhaps with some vehicles being added too to facilitate these courses would be good, like, Criminal Investigation Department, Forensic Services, etc.

I can't speak for the fire service aspect of things on this one, but as the content advisor for policing I am keen to introduce CID / Forensics etc in some capacity in the future. I'm sure this aspect of things will happen eventually.

tnedz Are you aware you posted on the UK section of the forum?

Try assigning a Critical Care member of staff, then compare

Assigned staff are not calculated or involved in the ARR system at present, code-wise, and therefore this would make no difference I believe.

Quote from mjkerr

It was just a suggestion

In effect this is how some staff are assigned, they need to travel (urgently) to the station to then use the station vehicle

I understand how retained duty systems work. The question is how they could be implemented in-game with the current systems.

Since the game does not allow for staff to travel, this cannot work.

Quote from mjkerr

How about trying this...

Set the appliances within the station to have available times
Setup several local Home Response Locations
Assign the staff to the opposite station

When the station is live, it uses its own staff
When the station is off, it uses the Home Response Location staff

I apologise, I really am entirely unable to envision or understand how you expect this to work. Staff cannot travel from station to station.

The idea has been suggested every once and a while over the years, although not for some time now I think. In principle it would be an interesting game dynamic. However, nobody has yet to come up with a version of this idea that will actually run in-game without significant complications “behind the scenes” in the code, and is feesable to introduce to all players without “breaking” or otherwise interrupting the playstyles of players who aren’t looking to use this feature.

If you can come up with a comprehensive solution to all of the above, I have no doubt it would be looked at and seriously considered. The tough bit is getting to that solution.

Yes that’s correct.

Mission generation is random and cannot be forced. The more stations and extensions you have active, the more variety of missions and potential for higher paying missions to spawn.

I have checked with BTP and sadly this is not the case
Specialists are from local police, on request as and when required, BTP have none of these!

I have checked with BTP Scotland and they too only have PTS certified officers
DSU in Scotland = zero (16 on call from Police Scotland)
ARV in Scotland = zero (9 on call from Police Scotland)
EIV = three (8 on call from Network Rail)

What you have checked with them for Scotland is as may be, and as stated above in certain regions in England and wales this is the case, however BTP does still use those specialist teams as per their own website which is live and current.

Regardless of the above, nobody has told you that you MUST use rail trained staff in any specialist vehicles. Only that the option is available should you wish to.

Should you wish to correct me on this again, I would appreciate any source material being linked so that all users can read the same information you claim to have access to. This helps to keep the forums clear on what information comes from which sources to avoid misinformation or ambiguity.

Sadly that is not how British Transport Police (BTP) works, there are no special vehicles, they are trained officers only

If ARV, DSU and so on are required, then local police provide these
These officers are then escorted by BTP

However for offences on the railway BTP can detain within the Police Station at the railway station

Please note your references to BTP not having access to specialist vehicles is only correct in certain regions. They do run dogs, firearms, PSU, search officers, CBRN specialists, CID etc, but not out of every station. ARVs are limited to London, Birmingham, Manchester and Patrol in and between key stations.

Please see here for further details on some of their specialist teams: https://careers.btp.police.uk/roles/specialist-teams/

Hi, each force has their own callsigns. Most are restricted / sensitive information and not public knowledge.

My advice is make your own, make them obvious so R for response, T for traffic, F for firearms, D for dog etc. give them a number or other letter which links them to their station and their force, and there you go, your own callsigns.

ARR does not work with station selections

The screenshot is showing “access denied” so nobody will be able to view it.

Specialist paramedics are not critical care paramedics. The roles are entirely separate. Alctw10 explained this well, in a post I’ve forgotten the location of. The gist of it was that they are specialists in things like palliative care, or work in GP surgeries rather than for the ambulance service.

If you want your specialists to treat critical care, I can only suggest you train them in the critical care training as you’ve mentioned. Which, given the training is called “critical care” and the requirement is called “critical care” I would suggest that is neither weird nor annoying, and exactly as intended.

best we can do is another useless feature update that no one asked for. Sorry.

Not really a constructive or helpful comment, nor is it relevant to the suggestion made by the OP. Please keep things on topic and if you wish to express frustration you are welcome to add your comments to an existing relevant thread, or create your own.

Quote from samj75

They all are. I checked all of them, and they all have sufficient staffing, but alarms and regulations is still sending units 10 minutes away when theres a battalion 2 minutes away.

Have you edited any units to not show the the alarm and response regulations? There’s a tick-box on the unit edit page.

The system will also select the closest as the crow flies, so if a unit is physically closer but the wrong side of a large river, it will still select that one instead of one slightly further away but with much less travel time.
