Professional communication

• ·Speak to players with respect, on and off duty.
• ·Keep radio and game chat professional and in character.
• ·No slurs, no harassment, no personal attacks.
• ·Plain language is always better than slang or attitude.

Respect for civilians and other departments

• ·Every player deserves a fair, professional interaction regardless of who they are.
• ·Cooperate with other departments. NHP does not outrank a city department on its own streets.
• ·Do not mock or belittle other players or departments in voice or chat.

Power abuse and unauthorized enforcement

• ·Do not use your trooper status to intimidate, threaten, or control players outside a lawful encounter.
• ·Do not enforce outside your jurisdiction in a way that steps on a city department's scene.
• ·Do not detain or arrest a player for personal reasons.

Random arrests, random violence, and escalation

• ·No arrest without a lawful, stated reason.
• ·No violence without a threat. Difficult is not dangerous.
• ·No escalating a calm situation into a confrontation.

Unrealistic driving and poor pursuit decisions

• ·Drive realistically on patrol, on responses, and in pursuits.
• ·Do not pursue a minor offense. Do not tailgate a suspect. Do not ram without authorization.
• ·A pursuit that endangers uninvolved players without justification is a discipline matter.

Radio misuse

• ·No chatter, no music, no out-of-character talk on the radio.
• ·Do not block the channel during an emergency.
• ·Use only approved codes; plain language otherwise.

Following lawful instructions and policy

• ·Follow instructions from dispatch and supervisors when they are lawful and within policy.
• ·Follow the department guides and the server's published rules.
• ·If an instruction conflicts with policy, raise it through the chain of command. Do not ignore it on scene and do not argue it on the radio.

Exploiting ERLC mechanics

• ·Do not use game glitches or unintended mechanics to gain an advantage.
• ·Do not use arrest or cuff animations outside a lawful encounter.
• ·Do not use vehicle spawning or despawning to escape or ambush.
• ·If a mechanic is clearly unintended, do not use it. Report it instead.

Training requirements

• ·Complete the training and certifications required for your rank before you work at that scope.
• ·Attend remedial training when a supervisor assigns it.
• ·Do not skip training by working above your certified scope.

Misconduct reporting and supervisor review

• ·Reviews are fair and consistent. The same behavior gets the same outcome regardless of who did it.
• ·Self-reporting a mistake is treated as a positive, not an automatic discipline event.
• ·Covering up misconduct is itself misconduct and is treated seriously.

1. 1A report goes to a supervisor with the facts: time, trooper, what happened.
2. 2The supervisor reviews the report and the relevant policy.
3. 3Discipline follows NSRP's existing punishment policy. This guide does not set separate punishments.
4. 4The reviewed trooper is told the outcome and the expectation going forward.
5. 5Serious matters escalate to command for a fitness decision.

Discipline is proportionate and follows the server's published punishment policy. When that policy differs from anything here, the server policy governs.
