All units must know the Force Matrix. Every situation must be responded to with a suitable force level, and units must follow the Force Matrix at all times.

(( OOC WARNING ))
Rush Tazing: When a unit tazes a suspect either from the front, or when the suspect is brandishing a firearm and shooting, this is known as Rush Tazing. This is NOT allowed in any situation, and is punishable by dismissal from the LSHP.


Units must NEVER assault a suspect using a vehicle. ((This is car ramming, and is against server rules))
