Detectives work closely with Police Officers by providing the necessary information for them to issue arrests and track down criminals.

New Detectives Guide

New page

As a '''Detective''', your job is to investigate crimes, primarily '''murders''', and solve cases using clues left behind at crime scenes. Unlike Police Officers, Detectives don’t arrest criminals or jail them, but instead, focus on gathering evidence, processing clues, and solving cases. Detectives work closely with Police Officers by providing the necessary information for them to issue arrests and track down criminals.

=== Reporting a Murder ===
When a player dies in the game, it’s possible for a '''murder case''' to be created. Murder cases are reported by:

* '''Victims''' using <code>/911</code> or
* '''Random passersby''' who see a clue and '''click on it''' to report the murder.

This will create an '''open case''' for Detectives to work on. Detectives can view all open cases by using the <code>/cases</code> command. You can click on a case to '''assign it to yourself''' or unassign it after 6 hours. Remember, you have a '''time limit of 6 hours''' to solve a case before it becomes unassigned and '''24 hours''' before the case goes cold.

=== Collecting Clues ===
At the crime scene, '''1-3 clues''' (e.g., '''blood splatter''' or '''projectile casings''') will be left behind, depending on the murder method. Detectives have '''45 seconds''' to find as many clues as they can once they arrive at the crime scene. The killer may attempt to '''move the clues''' within '''15 blocks''' of the body, but if you're quick, you’ll be able to find them all.

* '''Blood splatter''' is often left behind when a '''melee weapon''' is used.
* '''Projectile casings''' are left when a '''ranged weapon''' is used.

=== Using the Analyser ===
After collecting clues, a Detective must bring them to an '''Analyser''' located at a Police Station. The Analyser reveals important information about each clue, such as:

* '''Who started the fight'''
* '''The victim'''
* '''The attacker'''
* '''Location'''
* '''Time of death'''

These details will help you piece together the full story. Without using the Analyser, clues won’t reveal any information, so it’s crucial to process them properly. Only '''Detectives''' can use Analyser tools, and you must wait '''30 seconds''' between uses to process clues.

=== Solving the Case ===
Once you’ve processed all clues, you can return to the '''Evidence Locker''' by right-clicking the case in the <code>/cases</code> menu. Move all revealed clues into the locker and '''click submit''' to solve the case. If the person who started the fight doesn’t match the victim, a '''wanted point''' will be generated for the attacker, and Police Officers can then issue an arrest.

=== Cold Cases ===
If a case isn’t solved within '''24 hours''', it becomes a '''cold case'''. Cold cases are moved to a special section in the <code>/cases</code> menu, and Detectives cannot solve them. However, all details remain frozen, and the clues are no longer valid. It’s important to solve cases promptly to avoid letting them go cold.

=== Tools and Responsibilities ===
Detectives use specific tools that help them investigate and solve cases:

* '''Analysers''': Reveal detailed information from clues.
* '''Evidence Locker''': Used to submit processed clues and solve cases.

Unlike '''Police Officers''', Detectives do not:

* '''Chase down criminals''' or
* '''Arrest and jail criminals'''.

Those tasks are handled by '''Police Officers''', who can '''handcuff''', '''tase''', and '''jail''' criminals based on the information provided by Detectives.

=== Police Officer vs. Detective ===
It’s essential to understand the difference between '''Detectives''' and '''Police Officers''':

* '''Police Officers''' chase down, arrest, and jail criminals. They also have access to tools like '''handcuffs''', '''tasers''', '''pepper spray''', and '''batons''' to manage crime.
* '''Detectives''' investigate crimes, collect and process clues, and solve cases. They do not make arrests or chase criminals.

Police Officers are also responsible for setting '''bail''' for jailed players, while Detectives focus on solving cases through their investigation work.
