Vancouver Metropolitan 2042 Handbook (Compact Edition)

FROM: Chief Executive August Yong
TO: East Hastings Police Division (Div.88) Commissioner

Here are this year's guidelines for law enforcement in the East Hastings district. Follow these guidelines to insure maximized efficiency. Not all criminal activity can be stopped in East Hastings, and though some employees will feel the need to go after dangerous and unprofitable leads, it is best if you keep that to a minimum. Emphasize the risk of responding to gangland shootings and crime originating from the worst part of the city. Our main priority is to make the business district and the respectable half of East Hastings stay a desirable place to live.

Please pass out the attached Vancouver Metropolitan 2042 Handbook to your employees.

2. The Vancouver Metropolitan Police Force Decree against Organized Crime

To stop low-life thugs from organizing and terrorizing Vancouver Megacity, there are certain measures available to all units.

A) Plea Deals.
If a suspected member of a gang is brought in for questioning and can be sentenced on a charge, be it for drugs, illegal weapons, or anything of that sort, plea deals can be offered.

An attempt should be made to 'flip' the offender, so that they can be released with a wire or similar to provide evidence against higher-ups in their crew. An attempt should be otherwise made to insure their witness testimony against another gang member.

Working with the police through plea deals should wipe the offender's slate clean, depending on how much help they provide. Exceptional 'flipped' witnesses should be offered employment at the firm.

B) Surveillance.
If a detective has suspicion involving a person, they may issue a surveillance warrant which will allow employees to set up a wire-tap or video camera or both in a specific location. This can remain up for a month, before the warrant has to be renewed.

3. Other Crimes & Sentences

Assault - 2 years or a fine determined by the victim.

Theft & Robbery - 5 years or a fine determined by the victim.

Possession of Drugs - 5 years.

Armed Robbery - 20 years or more.

Gunrunning - 20 years, or a fine determined by the firm followed by house arrest.
