I'm not sure if I'm the only one who tried to use this feature but within the menu there's an option for "Dispatch Roadblock", I see the dispatch in the top right saying to place a roadblock but it never spawns. If it does spawn, Its in the wrong area and I'm left cleaning up the ELS cars myself after a pursuit. For now I use vdH policehelpers roadblocks but they aren't effective at times, too many ELS cars + they automatically shoot at the driver regardless of your lethal force option.'

 

Does placing a waypoint do anything in terms of dispatching it? Anyone get this to work or is it just me?

 

Thanks.

From my understanding, you first go to your maps, place a waypoint on the street or bridge you want your roadblock at, then go to QAM, select roadblock and there you go, hopes this helps!

Isn't that for PoliceHelper, or is the the QAM too?

I don't think QAM pays a dime about the waypoints. It tends to spawn roadblocks where the suspect might be heading, and sometimes, well, it's wrong. I almost never use this feature, roadblocks are placed automatically and mostly it helps. 

It's weird, you will be in a pursuit with a granny who forgot to pay her parking ticket going 20 mph and you will get 50 cars behind you and another 30 forming road blocks. When you need them, there never there lol.

Turns out I had AI Roadblocks off, turned those on and they do make them during pursuits, but i don't think think they have any actual roadblocks just cars with cops stationed. It is randomly spawned I guess, so I'll use it in conjuction with PoliceHelper, Thanks guys.

Honestly I hate roadblocks, because IRL they are unsafe, and not a commonly used tactic. Also when they set up wrong, they dont try to relocate ahead of the pursuit, just leave the cars in the road for you to find 20 minutes after the pursuit. lol
