The front doors to PD must remain unlocked unless there is a lockdown.

Police and Swat Units are encouraged to work together to combat crime, reduce corruption and disrupt drug flow in the city however the choice is up to the respective leaders unless directly ordered by the Mayor.
If the Police Chief or Swat Leader refuses a direct order it will increase corruption, attracting the attention of Wardens, BSO investigators and even High command.
If the Police Chief and Swat Leader enact a coup against the mayor it will instantly cause a BSO raid against PD.

As a detective you may use your disguise kit and creativity to find targets for the Police and SWAT to raid. You may also arrest and search people.
You may do whatever necessary to gain people's trust, which include breaking mayor laws and in-game rules but not server rules.
You may not participate in raids, that's a job for Police and SWAT
Just like Police and SWAT if a government worker ask you for your badge you must show it. However it's up to you if you want to show your badge to non government members.

As a Mayor you are not allowed to enforce the laws yourself.
The Mayor is allowed to make laws that override the default laws & “In-Game Rules”
The Mayor is not allowed to make laws that override the Server rules.
The Mayor is not allowed to make laws that override the Legal Process.
The Mayor cannot use a gun unless it’s strictly for self defense.
The Mayor is allowed to order Police and Swat forces to focus on a single target or mission.
The Mayor is allowed to support corruption however expect a visit from the Warden.

You cannot kill the Mayor.
You may not enforce laws.
Your prime directive is to keep the Mayor alive and safe from danger.
You may kill anyone you deem a threat except for the Warden & BSO Members. Doing so, intentionally or accidentally, will result in a raid of the Local Government and demotion of the entire force upon the successful establishment of order by the BSO.
You must always guard the Mayor and stay within an appropriate distance while he's in office. You can't just walk away and forget the Mayor, which will result in a Mayor Bodyguard Violation.
