• Q1. How often do you open recruitment? When will it open next?
  
  • We currently hire at the start of the month for a period of roughly eight (8) days. Please check for an up to date Hiring Status topic in this forum.
  Q2. I'm already in another faction. Can I still join the LSSD?
  
  • Please see (( Double Faction Permission Information )).
  Q3. I have an admin record. Can I still join?
  
  • Recent administrative action is considered grounds for an automatic disqualification. We consider recent administrative action to be any administrative punishment (account warnings, kicks, jails, and bans) less than two months old. We also reserve the right to disqualify applicants with particularly lengthy or egregious admin records at our discretion.
  Q4. What is my forum name expected to be? Can I change it?
  
  • We use the Firstname Lastname ("John Doe") format on these boards. If you need to change your forum name because it does not follow this format or because it does not reflect the character you will be applying under, please see here.
  Q5. Does the LSSD have activity requirements?
  
  • The LSSD requires a minimum ABAS (average of on-duty hours over 30 days) of 0.5. This equates to roughly 30 minutes a day over the rolling period of 30 days.
    
    We do not have any mandatory jail/custody hours (time spent roleplaying inside of Twin Towers Correctional Facility), but it is expected that you are still taking the initiative and going on jail duty when required.
  Q6. Do I need legal or law enforcement roleplay experience to be successful in the LSSD?
  
  • No! You do not need to have any previous experience with either law enforcement or legal factions in order to be successful within the faction. We have a field training program that trains new faction members in both LSSD and general law enforcement culture. All we ask is that you embody the values set forth in our mission statement.
  Q7. I'm currently banned from another legal faction. Can I still apply?
  
  • We do not automatically disqualify due to bans from other legal factions, but we will evaluate the circumstance to determine if we believe it may prevent you from being a good fit for the faction.

Hey, I'll be applying from the same character I did last time, is there any way I could get my old application to re-check some information? Thanks!

I’ll PM you the application.

I'll send you it through PMs.

Can an exception be made for the UCP hour requirement of 20 hours? PD only requires 20 hours and I can prove years of RP experience. TYIA.

No. The requirements are set in stone. The LSPD is a different faction with different requirements. The hour requirements does not only prove that you know roleplay, but that you also know the ins and outs of the server and that you have settled in with the community.

That answers my question. Wanted to apply this week to help this faction but couldn't cram in 10 hours in the next 24 hours due to work. Thanks.

How long does it usually take for a pre-employment unit member to contact me on teamspeak after joining the lobby channel with the proper name format? Unsure whether I should just PM somebody or wait, so I figured I'd ask here.

[Miles Lucero]

You should just wait. Someone will contact you eventually. We have members from all around the world, so it really depends. I can’t give you an exact time.
