So, in case people were thinking otherwise, here is what the rules say about corruption and investigation of Hathian Police Department officers...

Investigation and Arrest of Hathian Police Department Officers

The investigation or arrest of another Hathian Police Department Officers is not permitted, without prior approval from a Lieutenant or the Captain.

While this is how the group is described...

The Hathian Police Department is notoriously known as 'Hathian's largest gang'. Feared by locals for their brutality and quick justice, they serve the city of Hathian with a reputation of corruption and disregard for the law, with numerous Officers both high and low ranking involved even the most serious of offenses.

So, considering we have said you cannot have gang affiliations, I can see how some people may be confused or have gotten the wrong impression about corruption in all of this, so i will attempt to explain a few things...

What sort of corruption is ok?
Beating suspects, raping suspects, stealing from suspects, framing suspects and otherwise breaking the law, while still attempting to police Hathian and perform police work is all acceptable. However, this should be not be obvious and kept out of sight of the public, in order to attract no attention, complaints or the suspicion of others. Generally, as long as any corrupt activity does not interfere or prevent the police department from performing their duties, it is seen as acceptable. However, if you do go completely mental and for instance, dismember an innocent person in front of a massive crowd, dont expect the HPD and your superiors to back up your story or that they will be impressed with your efforts.

What sort of corruption is not ok?
Corruption that is not acceptable is taking bribes or otherwise siding with a gang, turning a blind eye to their crimes or attempting to help them in someway, such as providing information, misplacing evidence, releasing suspects or otherwise sabotaging the work of the Hathian Police Department and your fellow police officers. Disloyalty will not be acceptable and any sort of corrupt activity, that is seen as preventing the HPD from performing their duties, is not acceptable. Officers who are found to be engaging in this sort of activity, can expect to have to have to explain themselves to a Lieutenant and the Captain, including just why they should be allowed to remain a police officer, when we can hardly trust them and their loyalties seem to be so misplaced.

Are there internal affairs investigations?
No, there is no internal affairs and officers normally do not face any investigation into allegations or complaints against them. Any matters involving disciplining a member of the Hathian Police Department are handled by a Lieutenant or the Captain and it is not up to anyaone else to decide or interfere in another Officer's career. Officers should not be investigating each other, arresting each other or doing anything but working together and cooperating, unless they are told otherwise, the same way Officers should not be attempting to sabotage each other's RP, due to corruption and their loyalty to a gang.

How are the police held accountable and disciplined if need be?
Complaints are handled by the Lieutenants and the Captain, although can be brought to the attention of Sergeants if need be, who can pass the matter on. Generally, complaints are not treated seriously and dismissed with no action, however at times, an Officer may be suspended, demoted or dismissed from the department, depending on the circumstances.

Hopefully that clears things up for everyone, although feel free to ask if you have questions.
