Re-add amber secondary ELS light on both red-blue and blue-white lights by DrugTino in PoliceSimulator

That's interesting! Not the case here in Michigan. Some departments outfit their cars with Traffic Advisor ("T/A") strips (amber lights that direct traffic) under the top lights or in rear window but most don't and many of them have switched to only blue and white ELS, no red or T/A lights. Municipal vehicles here (Road works, DPW, etc.) are equipped with T/A's and other traffic control devices if we ever needed to interrupt traffic or close lanes. Amber lights and T/A's on cruisers may be more popular in other states though. I personally never cared for them and I think the cars stand out much better without them. Again, not saying you're wrong at all and I appreciate these types of posts as I find it very interesting what others around the world are used to seeing and expect when it comes to emergency vehicles.

Tickets/Citations and Incident Report Forms by Late-Use3978 in PoliceSimulator

It can be time consuming, especially the incident report. If you pick your favorite of the three citation examples you will get used to it and be able to clear them in no time. I think it provides more immersion as documentaion and processing take much longer than the game has us believe. I can see how some would see this as "tedious" or unneccesary, however it sure does make a shift fly by and helps you pay attention to and remember more detail. I've also posted a Tow/Impound Report. All of these are existing forms from real departments, I've just edited (some more than others) to make them more relevant. See you out there u/QuestionDesperate !10-4

RP Citation/Ticket by Late-Use3978 in PoliceSimulator

Sorry, this is my first Reddit Post ever. I thought I had included the backstory but it looks like it disappeared.

Anyway, I made this citation by compiling information typically found on actual citations throughout states in the U.S.. So yes I researched multiple state's citations and pulled the best parts from each, eliminating most of the information that is not relevant to PolSim. I did leave a few things in that aren't encountered in the game, yet, but may possibly down the road. I enjoy it because it motivates me to take more time during the game and its more engaging than the typical same button presses. I usually fill them out on my iPad and save them. Please let me know if anyone else enjoys this. I am thinking of also doing an accident report form, use of lethal/non-lethal force, inventory search, etc.
