This is a Professional Skill (B215)
Must specialize; IQ/A, Defaults: IQ-5

This skill includes police procedures and training. It is possessed by current and former police officers.

An officer uses it to decide when to issue a traffic citation; to properly use radio protocol and codes; to know how to serve a warrant, how to make an arrest, and how to protect a crime scene; for crowd control; for direct-ng traffic; for remembering and following departmental regulations and procedures; for understanding when to use force and how much; and so on. The skill should be used in situations that are obviously part of a police officer’s job that are not covered by other more specialized skills like Criminology, Interrogation, and so on. It also covers routine use of common skills, such as Electronics Operations (Communications) to use a radio properly.

This skill requires specialization by department or agency. It defaults to other agencies at -1 to -5 or more depending on the differences between agencies.
