1- I know that, I'm an Auxiliary in a neighboring county to NYC, but how realistic is it for the call you're going to to be across the street into the dark alley, every single time. Most NYPD Sectors have a good couple of blocks to them, especially in Queens (Dukes) where sectors are few and far between. At least make it so that we can travel a couple of blocks instead of across the street. Some precincts only turn out 2 cars to a tour because of staffing issues.
2- Yeah, and when you arrest the perp the Officer is chasing he starts shooting at him as soon as he's cuffed. It would still be interesting to have undispatched robberies and other pickup calls.
3- There are some subway stations that are Officerless, especially the above ground platforms in Dukes and Broker and Bohan (only Hove Beach and Algonquin Underground stations are staffed with Police, the rest are Officerless). Again, this is to add more locations to respond to. In real life, a lot of the times Transit is unavailable to respond and the Precinct cars have to pick up assignments generated in Transit.
4- No argument here, lol.
Yeah, 3 islands to get to a robbery is dumb. But like I said, when you're talking realism how realistic is it for there to be no travel distance during calls?
