[WIP] Kaller's Extra Callouts

Nostrra · February 16, 2019

Hi All,

I know the LSPDFR community is aflush with Work in Progress callout plugins, However I've decided to have a crack at my own, using both experience out of game, and a list of callouts I've wanted to see based on my play style. My goal is not to create extravagant scenarios, but to bolster your existing list of calls with a few of my own. Each call will encompass a variety of circumstances or locations. I'll keep a list of planned features here and welcome any and all suggestions.

Planned Calls

Tresspass on the railway [In Progress]: Inspired by a lack of British Transport Police calls, This scenario will have you respond to various rail network locations across the city and outlying areas to remove an individual from the track. They will attempt to flee from you. There is also a chance that the call is dealt with prior to your arrival and as such you will be stood down.

Antisocial Behaviour[In Progress]: You're asked to respond to an individual acting anti-socially in a public space. They're likely going to be drunk, violent, boisterous or a combination of all three.

Fail to stop [Complete]: Whilst this has been address across multiple plugins, I've left this in as it was the first callout I've created and it's sentimental! You're asked to respond to a fail to stop, in which a pursuit is already in progress.

Suspicious Circumstances [Planned]: This call will encompass a variety of circumstances, including an individual taking photographs of sensitive properties such as police stations or government offices, An individual acting suspiciously at a rail terminal or airport, Reports from neighbours regarding suspicious sightings on another property, and more.

Abandoned vehicle/vehicle alight [Planned]: A vehicle has been found in a public area either abandoned, or alight. Investigate the scene and handle the aftermath appropriately.

I will update this list when more callouts are planned, or when their status changes. I welcome any suggestions.

A big thanks to @ToastinYou for their wonderful guide, which helped massively in working out the format for the plugin. Whilst i've developed in c# before, I've never looked into a plugin until I read that guide.

One callout I recommend is a domestic dispute of some type, whether it be family, lovers, etc.

Maybe it's a difference in the US and UK, but having the cops called on you for being antisocial? That sounds made up, being antisocial isn't a crime. My recommendation is to rename this callout to "Disorderly person", or "belligerent person".

A domestic disturbance is an excellent idea.

With regards to the phrasing antisocial, it's 100% a British thing, for us, antisocial behaviour is anything that is likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress to any reasonable member of the public and is encompassed in multiple acts namely:

Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2014/12/contents/enacted
Public Order Act 1986 https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1986/64/contents.

A bit of light reading if you ever get bored!, in summary in the UK being antisocial is a crime!
As someone with police experience, they're thoroughly used legislation.

However! In the interest of internationalising the project I will very likely rename to Disorderly or similar so that my american compatriots in digital crime won't find it a jarring experience.

One callout I recommend is a sniper callout, don't really see that on the downloads page. Also, thanks for being part of the community and creating Callouts.

That's not a bad idea, If i go ahead as i currently plan and 'de-british' the plugin it will hopefully be more relatable to the callouts of LCPDFR days included in both the core mod and the brave-hearts policing script.

No thanks needed! I've loved this mod in its numerous forms for a long time, and always had the urge to develop something for it.
