Department Overview

NHP mission, statewide jurisdiction, authority, and the professional standard expected of every trooper.

The Nevada Highway Patrol (NHP) is a statewide law enforcement agency. Troopers patrol the highways, freeways, and major roads of the ERLC map, enforce traffic law, work collisions, and respond to emergencies.

Mandatory

·NHP is a statewide agency. You may patrol anywhere across the ERLC map.
·Primary patrol areas are highways, freeways, and major roads. Troopers may respond to incidents outside highway areas when appropriate.
·Treat every player the same: civilian, officer, staff member, or friend. No favoritism, no targeting.
·Stay in character at all times while on duty.

Mission and responsibilities

·Patrol highways, freeways, and major roads across the ERLC map.
·Enforce traffic law: speeding, reckless driving, unsafe lane changes, failure to yield, impaired driving where the server models it.
·Work traffic collisions: secure the scene, take statements, clear the road.
·Assist stranded and disabled motorists.
·Conduct traffic stops for observed violations.
·Pursue fleeing vehicles when the criteria in the Vehicle Pursuits section are met.
·Coordinate with other departments when an incident crosses into their area.

Statewide jurisdiction

·NHP jurisdiction is statewide. You may patrol anywhere on the ERLC map.
·Highways, freeways, and major roads are your primary patrol areas.
·You may respond to incidents outside highway areas when appropriate.
·Inside a city, the city police department leads city calls. Support them when asked; do not take over their scene.

NHP authority compared with city police

Who leads what on the road

Situation	Lead agency	NHP role

Traffic stop on the highway	NHP	Lead the stop
Pursuit that enters a city	City police	Support from behind; yield the lead at the city line unless asked
Robbery, assault, or city call	City police	Do not respond unless dispatched for backup

Trooper expectations

·Be on time, in uniform, and in the correct Discord voice channel for your shift.
·Know the radio codes NSRP has approved. Do not invent codes the server does not use.
·Drive realistically at all times. Your patrol car sets the standard.
·File your reports before you end your shift.
·Help newer troopers. Senior troopers and instructors are responsible for the people they train.

Chain of command

·Announce your status and location on the radio so dispatch and other units know where you are.
·Answer status checks immediately. An unanswered trooper triggers a welfare search.
·On a multi-unit call, one trooper leads the scene and the others support.
·Follow the chain of command. Disagreements with a supervisor are handled after the incident, not over the radio during it.

Conduct on and off duty

·On duty: professional, calm, and in character. No meta-chat about real life in voice or game chat.
·Off duty: you still represent NHP. Do not use your trooper account to harass players.
·Do not use department equipment, vehicles, or radio channels while off duty.
·Report misconduct you witness to a supervisor. Covering for another trooper is itself misconduct.

If you are unsure whether something is allowed, ask a supervisor before you do it.
