Now Available: Video Preview Below! Hello again LCPDFR! It's been a long time since my last public release but I've been working on a lot of personal projects lately and decided to start releasing some of them for everyone to enjoy. Following in the footsteps of perhaps my most successful public release, the Harbor County Sheriff's Office Crown Victoria, I'm pleased to announce that later this month I'll be releasing an updated patrol sedan in the same tradition. In addition to the Interceptor Sedan, I'm expecting to release other modern police vehicles with the same equipment package. HCSO Ford Interceptor Sedan Vehicle Overview This vehicle model is the Ford Police Interceptor Sedan used by the Harbor County Department of Public Safety Role Play Community in 2016. The vehicle was custom designed and purpose built for the community to commemorate 4 years of operation. This vehicle is being released publicly as part of that celebration and we hope that everyone who chooses to use this vehicle enjoys it as much as we do, and as much as some of you enjoyed using the previous Crown Victoria. The livery used in the video preview below is an updated version of the Harbor County Community's original launch livery from 2012 in honor of the community's 4+ years of operation and is used in the video as a place holder. Other liveries will be included in the release as well as a template for making your own liveries. Vehicle Features Our new vehicle fleet was purpose built to meet the demands of the Harbor County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Division. We simulate a highly funded, modern agency, so our patrol fleet is equipped with some unique features: Independent front / rear light activation stages Customized Whelen Legacy DUO lightbar with forward flood option Able 2 Products Supplemental Light Heads Optional ALPR camera system Watch Guard Video’s 4RE high definition dash camera system Stalker Patrol Digital Radar System Customized center console modeled after HAVIS products, featuring Whelen Sapphire control head, Panasonic Toughbook computer, and Brother PocketJet in car printing system Patrol Rifle and Less Lethal Shotgun mounted in car racks Setina rear window guards, partition, tamper resistant door panels and rear seat Setina Push Bumper Optimized for ELS 8.5 Screen Shots Preview screen shots of the new interior upgrades can be found in my LCPDFR gallery linked below. Video Preview A video preview can be seen below, showing the ELS functions and the car's general features. Download Link

That was exactly the problem, thank you! I had most of the police equipment I added to the car attached together as one object. By splitting the items up into several "misc" parts, the car seems to be much more cooperative now. Learn something new every day... Thanks again!

So I've been working on a new car but when it was finished it generated the infamous RC20 error and crash to desktop. During trouble shooting, I've been trying to isolate if the problem lies with the car itself or with the equipment I'm putting into the car but I'm nor finding a clear pattern. The car EXPORTS from zmodeler with no errors, and appears fine in OpenIV. But in game I get the RC20 crash. When I attempt to IMPORT the car back into zmodeler to see what's wrong, there are polygons everywhere, like this: As part of my trouble shooting, I've tried exporting and re-importing the car without any equipment: no issues at all. I've tried using the same equipment on other car models: no issues at all. But for some reason, the combination of this car and the equipment results in the polygon mess you see above. I'm assuming that this mess of polygons is what's causing the RC20 error, I just don't know what's causing the mess of polygons because the car exports from zModeler without any error messages and appears correctly in OpenIV. I thought I'd see if anyone else has encountered this mess of polygons or has any thoughts on where things are getting messed up.

So I've been working with a new car model, going through and fixing some little bugs as I find them (L1s, L2s, Collisions, etc). I've come across something I've not had to deal with before and after about a week of trying to fix it, I'm running out of patience and looking for thoughts on a better way. The doors on this car are "hollow", there is an outside panel and in inside panel, but they are not connected to each other so the door has nothing in the middle and you can see right through it. It's very distracting getting in and out of the car in game. I've done some research and read tutorials about this type of problem and everything says to go to vertex mode, highlight the vertices, and use the "connect" tool to automatically connect the open edges; but that hasn't worked well. So, I've been going through manually and selecting small groups of vertices, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I've made it most of the way around the door, front, bottom, and part of the back, but I'm at a point where it's not working anymore. No matter which vertices I select, I'm just cycling between connecting weird ones that aren't even selected, and getting the "Unused vertices remain" or "Cannot detect open edges" error messages. I'm banging my head against a wall and I feel like there has to be a better way or something I'm doing wrong. Has anyone had to fix this problem before that can offer any tips or suggestions? I shudder at the thought of having to do this on the 3 remaining doors when I can't even get 1 fixed...

That's a great find! Thanks a lot. I'm not sure how I missed that in the hours of searching I did. Google is slipping in its old age I guess... Thanks again!

Hello everyone, I've got a few projects coming up on completion and I'm starting to think about my next plan and I'd like to do something different. Since there aren't many motorcycles out there I thought I might try doing one. I have the Police Bike from EFLC which is easy to modify, but I'd prefer something more modern and less Harley looking. I'd love to get my hands on a BMW bike or something resembling a BMW or really any bike that isn't a Harley body style. I came across a BMW bike that someone else made, but it's locked, and over 150,000 polys anyway. So I thought I'd post here and see if anyone has an unlocked motorcycle that I could have to do some public releases with. I'd prefer something non Harley, but I'll take what I can get since anything is better than the default Police Bike. Thanks everyone.

Sad news out of New York today, as the officer has passed away. http://www.leoaffairs.com/fallen-heroes/end-of-watch-brian-moore-nypd-officer-shot-on-saturday-dies/

​Who I believe would depend on a number of factors, especially if the complainant has or does not have physical injuries consistent with her complaint. Being body slammed on pavement during an arrest would leave physical injury ranging from bruises to lacerations or even more serious injuries. If the complainant has no injuries, then reasonable doubt exists and I cannot legally consider her complaint to be sustainable. That's the biggest problem with "abuse" complaints. Many complaints turn out to be completely made up and were intended to be a way to seek revenge on an officer that arrested someone, like a child throwing a tantrum. Those false complaints sour every legitimate complaint that comes in. Remove police officers from the equation. What if you and I got into an argument one day, and I decided to tell the police that you body slammed me on pavement. Would you have them arrest you on the spot based solely on my statement? Why should it be any different when someone makes a complaint against someone that happens to be an officer? Many people make complaints without any form of merit of supporting evidence and in our legal system, the suspect is considered innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and the burden of proof rests with the accuser. People also need to remember that officers are legally allowed to use force to make you comply with their instructions. So, was the hypothetical female resisting arrest or detention or otherwise interfering with Officer Joe? If so, using force against her is not abuse, it's the officer doing his job. There have been several instances of truly abusive police officers and it's a shame; they should be prosecuted. Everyone knows the bad officers are out there, it's human nature. But to take the actions of what amount to less than 1% of the total police officers in this country and assume that they will all be abusive is simply wrong. That's what's been happening lately, people are drawing broad conclusions from a small data sample. A large majority of the time when people think they have been abused or had their rights violated, they are wrong. Police are legally allowed to use force to make you comply, so even after you've been arrested and are handcuffed if you are still being combative or resisting in any way, they can use force and it is not "assault". Again, let's remove police officers from the equation. I'm an airline pilot, for example. There have been a string of airline accidents recently, yet no one assumes when they board my plane I am going to screw up and crash. Everyone has the basic assumption that I am a professional and will do my job correctly. What about when you go to see a doctor? Medical malpractice happens every day, yet no one expects a doctor to be bad at their job as a blanket assumption. So then, why do so many people lately seem to automatically expect police officers to be bad at their job? They are people too, just like the rest of us. Some make mistakes. Most do not. I agree that someone should not be assaulted while in custody. But the circumstances of what happen during an incident determine if something is legally "assault" or "lawful use of force". Again, many people do not understand the law. I can't speak to the circumstances that you experienced because I wasn't there, so I don't know exactly why that officer behaved the way he did. However, as I explained above if he ordered you to sit on the curb and you didn't immediately comply, he is allowed to use force to make you comply. You should also remember the physiological stress that can occur as a police officer. That officer may have just come from a call where someone was physically combative with him, and his body was still under the effects of the adrenaline fight or flight response. Maybe he was just a jerk. I think that in many cases, citizens unnecessarily escalate a situation by failing to comply with the lawful orders of a police officer. I disagree about drawing a firearm as a step in the use of force continuum. Police are often so quick to draw weapons because of science; action is faster than re-action. Police officers must treat everyone that chooses not to comply with their instructions as a potential threat, because anyone could be a potential threat. If an officer waited for that threat to become apparent, and had to REACT to it, he would be hurt or killed. I agree there's a problem with that scenario however, since there's no reasonable way that an officer could know the race of every person he's pulling over before initiating the stop, especially at night, race isn't an issue. If a man of color feels unsafe when he gets pulled over, I believe the problem is his unreasonable and irrational fear of police officers. That's a systemic problem resulting from a number of socioeconomic factors, not a result of legitimate police brutality. I'm all for legitimate "accountability" for everyone and yes, I would agree with you that sometimes the system is broken. My main complaint has always been that many people simply don't have a reasonable definition of that word.
