Apophis775: /* Current Marine Laws */

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions specially dispatched officials from High Command or the Provost Marshall and Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison).
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer. Once the timer is set, it may NOT be added too unless additional charges are added.
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the Evidence Locker if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
# Remove and store all their equipment inside a locker. Dress them in an orange jumpsuit, boots, and give them a standard headset. If they are abusing a headset, it may be removed.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs. If the prisoner is potentially a threat to themself or others, you may secure them with a straight jacket.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
# Ensure that the charges are added to their security record as either a listed charge or a note.
# Ensure their status is updated from Wanted to Prisoner, and when released to "Released"
# If a prisoner is SSD at the end of their sentence, redress them and place them in the brig Cryo.
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized a standard headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 

===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP or the Commander. If the Chief MP was involved in the arrest (such as the issuing officer or the arresting officer) the prisoner may request the Acting Commander in place of the CMP. This right is rescinded during emergencies (Code Red). The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Acting Commander is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, it should be removed from the time they are required to server. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed. If they are found innocent, then the charge should be removed. Additional charges relating to the arrest or after their arrest are NOT removed. (I.E. A resisting arrest charge will still be served if an assault charge is removed).
 

===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander of the Almayer as well as any Admirals dispatched from command hold the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only whitelisted Commanders have this authority, not anyone acting as a Commander). They may kill any crew member under their command or any personnel on the ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. However, this authority does NOT extend to battlefield executing any members of the Military Police force or the Chief MP. The Commander or Admiral MUST make an announcement explaining why the individual was executed and if the Chief MP or MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command using the fax machine located in the brig to inquire if the execution was reasonable. The announcement should happen at the earliest convenience. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins, you are able to execute people as needed, however executing Military Police, CMPs, or not having a valid reason other than murderboning may result in removal from the whitelist). 
This power can not be used on any prisoners who have been detained or are under the protection of the Military Police. 
The Commander is forbidden from participating in the execution of prisoners other than being an observer. 
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny. During a mutiny, lethal force may be authorized by the Chief MP or the Acting Commander. It may also be used without authorization in defense when engaged with lethal force.
 

===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent of all accused crimes in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge. If there are crimes committed as a result of a false charge (i.e. resisting arrest) the time will be served, and the time will also be added to the False Arrest charge time.
 

===Crew Authorized Weapons===
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines (any standard issue weapon or weapon ordered from requisitions), security (non-lethals only) and the Acting Commander (a special issue Mateba). Other officers (the XO, Staff Officers, Chief Engineer, and Requisition Officer) are authorized either a M44 Combat Revolver or M4A3 Service Pistol as a sidearm. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on board the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized a standard headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 

===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP or the Commander. If the Chief MP was involved in the arrest (such as the issuing officer or the arresting officer) the prisoner may request the Acting Commander in place of the CMP. This right is rescinded during emergencies (Code Red). The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Acting Commander is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, it should be removed from the time they are required to server. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed. If they are found innocent, then the charge should be removed. Additional charges relating to the arrest or after their arrest are NOT removed. (I.E. A resisting arrest charge will still be served if an assault charge is removed).
 

===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander of the Almayer as well as any Admirals dispatched from command hold the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only whitelisted Commanders have this authority, not anyone acting as a Commander). They may kill any crew member under their command or any personnel on the ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. However, this authority does NOT extend to battlefield executing any members of the Military Police force or the Chief MP. The Commander or Admiral MUST make an announcement explaining why the individual was executed and if the Chief MP or MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command using the fax machine located in the brig to inquire if the execution was reasonable. The announcement should happen at the earliest convenience. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins, you are able to execute people as needed, however executing Military Police, CMPs, or not having a valid reason other than murderboning may result in removal from the whitelist). 
This power can not be used on any prisoners who have been detained or are under the protection of the Military Police. 
The Commander is forbidden from participating in the execution of prisoners other than being an observer. 
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny. During a mutiny, lethal force may be authorized by the Chief MP or the Acting Commander. It may also be used without authorization in defense when engaged with lethal force.
 

===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent of all accused crimes in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge. If there are crimes committed as a result of a false charge (i.e. resisting arrest) the time will be served, and the time will also be added to the False Arrest charge time.
 

===Crew Authorized Weapons===
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines (any standard issue weapon or weapon ordered from requisitions), security (non-lethals only) and the Acting Commander (a special issue Mateba). Other officers (the XO, Staff Officers, Chief Engineer, and Requisition Officer) are authorized either a M44 Combat Revolver or M4A3 Service Pistol as a sidearm. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on board the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

'''Military Officers and military law enforcement agents are expected to use their best discretion when applying sentences and apprehending those who violate the above laws. Failure to do so will result in immediate contract termination at the discretion of Central Command military officials.'''

Marine Law

2018-05-17T00:26:46Z

Apophis775: /* Appeal Sentence in a timely manner */

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions specially dispatched officials from High Command or the Provost Marshall and Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison).
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer. Once the timer is set, it may NOT be added too unless additional charges are added.
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the Evidence Locker if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
# Remove and store all their equipment inside a locker. Dress them in an orange jumpsuit, boots, and give them a standard headset. If they are abusing a headset, it may be removed.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs. If the prisoner is potentially a threat to themself or others, you may secure them with a straight jacket.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
# Ensure that the charges are added to their security record as either a listed charge or a note.
# Ensure their status is updated from Wanted to Prisoner, and when released to "Released"
# If a prisoner is SSD at the end of their sentence, redress them and place them in the brig Cryo.
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized a standard headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 

===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP or the Commander. If the Chief MP was involved in the arrest (such as the issuing officer or the arresting officer) the prisoner may request the Acting Commander in place of the CMP. This right is rescinded during emergencies (Code Red). The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Acting Commander is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, it should be removed from the time they are required to server. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed. If they are found innocent, then the charge should be removed. Additional charges relating to the arrest or after their arrest are NOT removed. (I.E. A resisting arrest charge will still be served if an assault charge is removed).
 

===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander of the Almayer as well as any Admirals dispatched from command hold the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only whitelisted Commanders have this authority, not anyone acting as a Commander). They may kill any crew member under their command or any personnel on the ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. However, this authority does NOT extend to battlefield executing any members of the Military Police force or the Chief MP. The Commander or Admiral MUST make an announcement explaining why the individual was executed and if the Chief MP or MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command using the fax machine located in the brig to inquire if the execution was reasonable. The announcement should happen at the earliest convenience. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins, you are able to execute people as needed, however executing Military Police, CMPs, or not having a valid reason other than murderboning may result in removal from the whitelist). 
This power can not be used on any prisoners who have been detained or are under the protection of the Military Police. 
The Commander is forbidden from participating in the execution of prisoners other than being an observer. 
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent of all accused crimes in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge. If there are crimes committed as a result of a false charge (i.e. resisting arrest) the time will be served, and the time will also be added to the False Arrest charge time.
 

===Crew Authorized Weapons===
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines (any standard issue weapon or weapon ordered from requisitions), security (non-lethals only) and the Acting Commander (a special issue Mateba). Other officers (the XO, Staff Officers, Chief Engineer, and Requisition Officer) are authorized either a M44 Combat Revolver or M4A3 Service Pistol as a sidearm. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on board the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)

Apophis775: /* Detainment and Brig Procedures */

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions specially dispatched officials from High Command or the Provost Marshall and Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison).
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer. Once the timer is set, it may NOT be added too unless additional charges are added.
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the Evidence Locker if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
# Remove and store all their equipment inside a locker. Dress them in an orange jumpsuit, boots, and give them a standard headset. If they are abusing a headset, it may be removed.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs. If the prisoner is potentially a threat to themself or others, you may secure them with a straight jacket.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
# Ensure that the charges are added to their security record as either a listed charge or a note.
# Ensure their status is updated from Wanted to Prisoner, and when released to "Released"
# If a prisoner is SSD at the end of their sentence, redress them and place them in the brig Cryo.
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized a standard headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 

===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Commander (if there is no Chief MP) is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, it should be removed from the time they are required to server. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed.
 

===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander of the Almayer as well as any Admirals dispatched from command hold the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only whitelisted Commanders have this authority, not anyone acting as a Commander). They may kill any crew member under their command or any personnel on the ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. However, this authority does NOT extend to battlefield executing any members of the Military Police force or the Chief MP. The Commander or Admiral MUST make an announcement explaining why the individual was executed and if the Chief MP or MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command using the fax machine located in the brig to inquire if the execution was reasonable. The announcement should happen at the earliest convenience. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins, you are able to execute people as needed, however executing Military Police, CMPs, or not having a valid reason other than murderboning may result in removal from the whitelist). 
This power can not be used on any prisoners who have been detained or are under the protection of the Military Police. 
The Commander is forbidden from participating in the execution of prisoners other than being an observer. 
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent of all accused crimes in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge. If there are crimes committed as a result of a false charge (i.e. resisting arrest) the time will be served, and the time will also be added to the False Arrest charge time.
 

===Crew Authorized Weapons===
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines (any standard issue weapon or weapon ordered from requisitions), security (non-lethals only) and the Acting Commander (a special issue Mateba). Other officers (the XO, Staff Officers, Chief Engineer, and Requisition Officer) are authorized either a M44 Combat Revolver or M4A3 Service Pistol as a sidearm. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on board the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander of the Almayer as well as any Admirals dispatched from command hold the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only whitelisted Commanders have this authority, not anyone acting as a Commander). They may kill any crew member under their command or any personnel on the ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. However, this authority does NOT extend to battlefield executing any members of the Military Police force or the Chief MP. The Commander or Admiral MUST make an announcement explaining why the individual was executed and if the Chief MP or MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command using the fax machine located in the brig to inquire if the execution was reasonable. The announcement should happen at the earliest convenience. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins, you are able to execute people as needed, however executing Military Police, CMPs, or not having a valid reason other than murderboning may result in removal from the whitelist). 
This power can not be used on any prisoners who have been detained or are under the protection of the Military Police. 
The Commander is forbidden from participating in the execution of prisoners other than being an observer. 
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent of all accused crimes in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge. If there are crimes committed as a result of a false charge (i.e. resisting arrest) the time will be served, and the time will also be added to the False Arrest charge time.
 

===Crew Authorized Weapons===
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines (any standard issue weapon or weapon ordered from requisitions), security (non-lethals only) and the Acting Commander (a special issue Mateba). Other officers (the XO, Staff Officers, Chief Engineer, and Requisition Officer) are authorized either a M44 Combat Revolver or M4A3 Service Pistol as a sidearm. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on board the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

Marine Law

2018-05-17T00:02:17Z

Apophis775: /* Current Marine Laws */

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions specially dispatched officials from High Command or the Provost Marshall and Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison).
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the Evidence Locker if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
# Remove and store all their equipment inside a locker. Dress them in an orange jumpsuit, boots, and give them a standard headset. If they are abusing a headset, it may be removed.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs. If the prisoner is potentially a threat to themself or others, you may secure them with a straight jacket.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized a standard headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 

===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Commander (if there is no Chief MP) is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, it should be removed from the time they are required to server. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed.
 

===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions specially dispatched officials from High Command or the Provost Marshall and Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison).
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the Evidence Locker if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
# Remove and store all their equipment inside a locker. Dress them in an orange jumpsuit, boots, and give them a standard headset. If they are abusing a headset, it may be removed.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs. If the prisoner is potentially a threat to themself or others, you may secure them with a straight jacket.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized a standard headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 

===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Commander (if there is no Chief MP) is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, it should be removed from the time they are required to server. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed.
 

===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander of the Almayer as well as any Admirals dispatched from command hold the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only whitelisted Commanders have this authority, not anyone acting as a Commander). They may kill any crew member under their command or any personnel on the ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. However, this authority does NOT extend to battlefield executing any members of the Military Police force or the Chief MP. The Commander or Admiral MUST make an announcement explaining why the individual was executed and if the Chief MP or MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command using the fax machine located in the brig to inquire if the execution was reasonable. The announcement should happen at the earliest convenience. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins, you are able to execute people as needed, however executing Military Police, CMPs, or not having a valid reason other than murderboning may result in removal from the whitelist). 
This power can not be used on any prisoners who have been detained or are under the protection of the Military Police. 
The Commander is forbidden from participating in the execution of prisoners other than being an observer. 
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent of all accused crimes in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge. If there are crimes committed as a result of a false charge (i.e. resisting arrest) the time will be served, and the time will also be added to the False Arrest charge time.
 

===Crew Authorized Weapons===
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines (any standard issue weapon or weapon ordered from requisitions), security (non-lethals only) and the Acting Commander (a special issue Mateba). Other officers (the XO, Staff Officers, Chief Engineer, and Requisition Officer) are authorized either a M44 Combat Revolver or M4A3 Service Pistol as a sidearm. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on board the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander of the Almayer as well as any Admirals dispatched from command hold the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only whitelisted Commanders have this authority, not anyone acting as a Commander). They may kill any crew member under their command or any personnel on the ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. However, this authority does NOT extend to battlefield executing any members of the Military Police force or the Chief MP. The Commander or Admiral MUST make an announcement explaining why the individual was executed and if the Chief MP or MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command using the fax machine located in the brig to inquire if the execution was reasonable. The announcement should happen at the earliest convenience. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins, you are able to execute people as needed, however executing Military Police, CMPs, or not having a valid reason other than murderboning may result in removal from the whitelist). 
This power can not be used on any prisoners who have been detained or are under the protection of the Military Police. 
The Commander is forbidden from participating in the execution of prisoners other than being an observer. 
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
 
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines (any standard issue weapon or weapon ordered from requisitions), security (non-lethals only) and the Acting Commander (a special issue Mateba). Other officers (the XO, Staff Officers, Chief Engineer, and Requisition Officer) are authorized either a M44 Combat Revolver or M4A3 Service Pistol as a sidearm. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on board the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

'''Military Officers and military law enforcement agents are expected to use their best discretion when applying sentences and apprehending those who violate the above laws. Failure to do so will result in immediate contract termination at the discretion of Central Command military officials.'''

Marine Law

2018-05-15T18:13:54Z

Apophis775:

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions specially dispatched officials from High Command or the Provost Marshall and Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison).
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the Evidence Locker if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
# Remove and store all their equipment inside a locker. Dress them in an orange jumpsuit, boots, and give them a standard headset. If they are abusing a headset, it may be removed.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs. If the prisoner is potentially a threat to themself or others, you may secure them with a straight jacket.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized a standard headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 

===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Commander (if there is no Chief MP) is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, they are to be released. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment.

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the Evidence Locker if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
# Remove and store all their equipment inside a locker. Dress them in an orange jumpsuit, boots, and give them a standard headset. If they are abusing a headset, it may be removed.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs. If the prisoner is potentially a threat to themself or others, you may secure them with a straight jacket.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized a standard headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 

===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Commander (if there is no Chief MP) is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, they are to be released. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander of the Almayer as well as any Admirals dispatched from command hold the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only whitelisted Commanders have this authority, not anyone acting as a Commander). They may kill any crew member under their command or any personnel on the ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. However, this authority does NOT extend to battlefield executing any members of the Military Police force or the Chief MP. The Commander or Admiral MUST make an announcement explaining why the individual was executed and if the Chief MP or MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command using the fax machine located in the brig to inquire if the execution was reasonable. The announcement should happen at the earliest convenience. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins, you are able to execute people as needed, however executing Military Police, CMPs, or not having a valid reason other than murderboning may result in removal from the whitelist). 
This power can not be used on any prisoners who have been detained or are under the protection of the Military Police. 
The Commander is forbidden from participating in the execution of prisoners other than being an observer. 
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
 
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines (any standard issue weapon or weapon ordered from requisitions), security (non-lethals only) and the Acting Commander (a special issue Mateba). Other officers (the XO, Staff Officers, Chief Engineer, and Requisition Officer) are authorized either a M44 Combat Revolver or M4A3 Service Pistol as a sidearm. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on board the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander of the Almayer as well as any Admirals dispatched from command hold the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only whitelisted Commanders have this authority, not anyone acting as a Commander). They may kill any crew member under their command or any personnel on the ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. However, this authority does NOT extend to battlefield executing any members of the Military Police force or the Chief MP. The Commander or Admiral MUST make an announcement explaining why the individual was executed and if the Chief MP or MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command using the fax machine located in the brig to inquire if the execution was reasonable. The announcement should happen at the earliest convenience. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins, you are able to execute people as needed, however executing Military Police, CMPs, or not having a valid reason other than murderboning may result in removal from the whitelist). 
This power can not be used on any prisoners who have been detained or are under the protection of the Military Police. 
The Commander is forbidden from participating in the execution of prisoners other than being an observer. 
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
 
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines (any standard issue weapon or weapon ordered from requisitions), security (non-lethals only) and the Acting Commander (a special issue Mateba). Other officers (the XO, Staff Officers, Chief Engineer, and Requisition Officer) are authorized either a M44 Combat Revolver or M4A3 Service Pistol as a sidearm. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on board the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

Marine Law

Apophis775: /* Execution Procedures */

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
# Remove and store all their equipment inside a locker. Dress them in an orange jumpsuit, boots, and give them a standard headset. If they are abusing a headset, it may be removed.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs. If the prisoner is potentially a threat to themself or others, you may secure them with a straight jacket.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized their headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 
===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Commander (if there is no Chief MP) is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, they are to be released. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
# Remove and store all their equipment inside a locker. Dress them in an orange jumpsuit, boots, and give them a standard headset. If they are abusing a headset, it may be removed.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs. If the prisoner is potentially a threat to themself or others, you may secure them with a straight jacket.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized their headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 
===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Commander (if there is no Chief MP) is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, they are to be released. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander of the Almayer as well as any Admirals dispatched from command hold the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only whitelisted Commanders have this authority, not anyone acting as a Commander). They may kill any crew member under their command or any personnel on the ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. However, this authority does NOT extend to battlefield executing any members of the Military Police force or the Chief MP. The Commander or Admiral MUST make an announcement explaining why the individual was executed and if the Chief MP or MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command using the fax machine located in the brig to inquire if the execution was reasonable. The announcement should happen at the earliest convenience. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins, you are able to execute people as needed, however executing Military Policy, CMPs, or not having a valid reason other than murderboning may result in removal from the whitelist). 
This power can not be used on any prisoners who have been detained or are under the protection of the Military Police. 
The Commander is forbidden from participating in the execution of prisoners other than being an observer. 
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
 
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines (any standard issue weapon or weapon ordered from requisitions), security (non-lethals only) and the Acting Commander (a special issue Mateba). Other officers (the XO, Staff Officers, Chief Engineer, and Requisition Officer) are authorized either a M44 Combat Revolver or M4A3 Service Pistol as a sidearm. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on board the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

The Commander of the Almayer as well as any Admirals dispatched from command hold the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only whitelisted Commanders have this authority, not anyone acting as a Commander). They may kill any crew member under their command or any personnel on the ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. However, this authority does NOT extend to battlefield executing any members of the Military Police force or the Chief MP. The Commander or Admiral MUST state why the individual was executed and if the Chief MP or MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command using the fax machine located in the brig to inquire if the execution was reasonable. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins, you are able to execute people as needed, however executing Military Policy, CMPs, or not having a valid reason other than murderboning may result in removal from the whitelist). 
This power can not be used on any prisoners who have been detained or are under the protection of the Military Police. 
The Commander is forbidden from participating in the execution of prisoners other than being an observer. 
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
 
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines (any standard issue weapon or weapon ordered from requisitions), security (non-lethals only) and the Acting Commander (a special issue Mateba). Other officers (the XO, Staff Officers, Chief Engineer, and Requisition Officer) are authorized either a M44 Combat Revolver or M4A3 Service Pistol as a sidearm. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on board the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

Marine Law

2018-04-23T18:37:14Z

Apophis775: /* Battlefield Execution */

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
# Remove and store all their equipment inside a locker. Dress them in an orange jumpsuit, boots, and give them a standard headset. If they are abusing a headset, it may be removed.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs. If the prisoner is potentially a threat to themself or others, you may secure them with a straight jacket.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized their headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 
===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Commander (if there is no Chief MP) is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, they are to be released. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander of the Almayer as well as any Admirals dispatched from command hold the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only whitelisted Commanders have this authority, not anyone acting as a Commander). They may kill any crew member under their command or any personnel on the ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission.

Apophis775: /* Execution Procedures */

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
# Remove and store all their equipment inside a locker. Dress them in an orange jumpsuit, boots, and give them a standard headset. If they are abusing a headset, it may be removed.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs. If the prisoner is potentially a threat to themself or others, you may secure them with a straight jacket.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized their headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 
===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Commander (if there is no Chief MP) is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, they are to be released. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander of the Almayer as well as any Admirals dispatched from command hold the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only whitelisted Commanders have this authority, not anyone acting as a Commander). They may kill any crew member under their command or any personnel on the ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. However, this authority does NOT extend to battlefield execcuting any members of Military Police or the Chief MP. The Commander or Admiral MUST state why the individual was executed and if the Chief MP or MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command using the fax machine located in the brig to inquire if the execution was reasonable. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins, you are able to execute people as needed, however executing Military Policy, CMPs, or not having a valid reason other than murderboning may result in removal from the whitelist). 
This power can not be used on any prisoners who have been detained or are under the protection of the Military Police. 
The Commander is forbidden from participating in the execution of prisoners other than being an observer. 
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
 
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines (any standard issue weapon or weapon ordered from requisitions), security (non-lethals only) and the Acting Commander (a special issue Mateba). Other officers (the XO, Staff Officers, Chief Engineer, and Requisition Officer) are authorized either a M44 Combat Revolver or M4A3 Service Pistol as a sidearm. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on board the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander & Admiral of the Almayer holds the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only [http://www.colonial-marines.com/viewforum.php?f=141 whitelisted] Commanders have this authority). They may kill anyone under their command or on their ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. The CO/Admiral must state why the individual was executed and should the MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command VIA FAX to inquire if the execution was reasonable afterwards. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.). 
This power can only be used on captured prisoners when it is not possible to perform standard execution procedures. 
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
 
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines (any standard issue weapon or weapon ordered from requisitions), security (non-lethals only) and the Acting Commander (a special issue Mateba). Other officers (the XO, Staff Officers, Chief Engineer, and Requisition Officer) are authorized either a M44 Combat Revolver or M4A3 Service Pistol as a sidearm. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on board the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

Marine Law

2018-02-27T05:21:36Z

Apophis775: /* Crew Authorized Weapons */

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
# Remove and store all their equipment inside a locker. Dress them in an orange jumpsuit, boots, and give them a standard headset. If they are abusing a headset, it may be removed.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs. If the prisoner is potentially a threat to themself or others, you may secure them with a straight jacket.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized their headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 
===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Commander (if there is no Chief MP) is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, they are to be released. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander & Admiral of the Almayer holds the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only [http://www.colonial-marines.com/viewforum.php?f=141 whitelisted] Commanders have this authority). They may kill anyone under their command or on their ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. The CO/Admiral must state why the individual was executed and should the MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command VIA FAX to inquire if the execution was reasonable afterwards. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.). 
This power can only be used on captured prisoners when it is not possible to perform standard execution procedures. 
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.

If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
 
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines (any standard issue weapon or weapon ordered from requisitions), security (non-lethals only) and the Acting Commander (a special issue Mateba). Other officers (the XO, Staff Officers, Chief Engineer, and Requisition Officer) are authorized either a M44 Combat Revolver or M4A3 Service Pistol as a sidearm.

''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
# Remove and store all their equipment inside a locker. Dress them in an orange jumpsuit, boots, and give them a standard headset. If they are abusing a headset, it may be removed.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs. If the prisoner is potentially a threat to themself or others, you may secure them with a straight jacket.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized their headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 
===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Commander (if there is no Chief MP) is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, they are to be released. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander & Admiral of the Almayer holds the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only [http://www.colonial-marines.com/viewforum.php?f=141 whitelisted] Commanders have this authority). They may kill anyone under their command or on their ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. The CO/Admiral must state why the individual was executed and should the MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command VIA FAX to inquire if the execution was reasonable afterwards. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.). 
This power can only be used on captured prisoners when it is not possible to perform standard execution procedures. 
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
 
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines (any standard issue weapon or weapon ordered from requisitions), security (non-lethals only) and the Acting Commander (a special issue Mateba). Other officers (the XO, Staff Officers, Chief Engineer, and Requisition Officer) are authorized either a M44 Combat Revolver or M4A3 Service Pistol as a sidearm. If you have a weapon, you must keep it authorized at all times while on board the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.

“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment.

Other officers (the XO, Staff Officers, Chief Engineer, and Requisition Officer) are authorized either a M44 Combat Revolver or M4A3 Service Pistol as a sidearm. If you have a weapon, you must keep it authorized at all times while on board the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

Apophis775: /* Detainment and Brig Procedures */

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
# Remove and store all their equipment inside a locker. Dress them in an orange jumpsuit, boots, and give them a standard headset. If they are abusing a headset, it may be removed.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs. If the prisoner is potentially a threat to themself or others, you may secure them with a straight jacket.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized their headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 
===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Commander (if there is no Chief MP) is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, they are to be released. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander & Admiral of the Almayer holds the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only [http://www.colonial-marines.com/viewforum.php?f=141 whitelisted] Commanders have this authority). They may kill anyone under their command or on their ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. The CO/Admiral must state why the individual was executed and should the MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command VIA FAX to inquire if the execution was reasonable afterwards. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.). 
This power can only be used on captured prisoners when it is not possible to perform standard execution procedures. 
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
 
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines, security (non-lethals only), the Acting Commander, XO, Staff Officers, and Requisitions Officer. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)

'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
## If the suspect is being held for less than 10 minutes for a non-violent offense, remove all of their equipment with the exception of their boots, jumpsuit, and radio.
## If the suspect is being held for more than 10 minutes, is considered an escape risk, has committed a violent offense, or presents a danger to himself or others, then remove all their equipment and dress them in an orange jumpsuit and boots. Return their radio, unless they are abusing it.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized their headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 
===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Commander (if there is no Chief MP) is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, they are to be released. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander & Admiral of the Almayer holds the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only [http://www.colonial-marines.com/viewforum.php?f=141 whitelisted] Commanders have this authority). They may kill anyone under their command or on their ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. The CO/Admiral must state why the individual was executed and should the MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command VIA FAX to inquire if the execution was reasonable afterwards. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.). 
This power can only be used on captured prisoners when it is not possible to perform standard execution procedures. 
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
 
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines, security (non-lethals only), the Acting Commander, XO, Staff Officers, and Requisitions Officer. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

Apophis775: /* Current Marine Laws */

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.

Apophis775: /* Battlefield Execution */

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
## If the suspect is being held for less than 30 minutes for a non-violent offense, remove all of their equipment with the exception of their boots, jumpsuit, and radio.
## If the suspect is being held for more than 30 minutes, is considered an escape risk, has committed a violent offense, or presents a danger to himself or others, then remove all their equipment and dress them in an orange jumpsuit and boots. Return their radio, unless they are abusing it.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized their headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 
===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Commander (if there is no Chief MP) is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, they are to be released. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander & Admiral of the Almayer holds the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only [http://www.colonial-marines.com/viewforum.php?f=141 whitelisted] Commanders have this authority). They may kill anyone under their command or on their ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. The CO/Admiral must state why the individual was executed and should the MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command VIA FAX to inquire if the execution was reasonable afterwards. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.). 
This power can only be used on captured prisoners when it is not possible to perform standard execution procedures. 
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
 
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines, security (non-lethals only), the Acting Commander, XO, Staff Officers, and Requisitions Officer. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized their headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 
===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Commander (if there is no Chief MP) is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, they are to be released. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander & Admiral of the Almayer holds the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only [http://www.colonial-marines.com/viewforum.php?f=141 whitelisted] Commanders have this authority). They may kill anyone under their command or on their ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. The CO/Admiral must state why the individual was executed and should the MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command VIA FAX to inquire if the execution was reasonable afterwards. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.). 
This power can only be used on captured prisoners when it is not possible to perform standard execution procedures. 
(This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.)
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
 
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines, security (non-lethals only), the Acting Commander, XO, Staff Officers, and Requisitions Officer. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

Generally, they are considered to outrank all enlisted personnel, and are treated with the effective rank of Lieutenant Commander. They must still follow the orders of those above them, however, in situations such as Law Enforcement they typically function as the ultimate authority in the areas of their specific expertise.

Marine Law

2018-01-29T00:06:55Z

Apophis775: /* Current Marine Laws */

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
## If the suspect is being held for less than 30 minutes for a non-violent offense, remove all of their equipment with the exception of their boots, jumpsuit, and radio.
## If the suspect is being held for more than 30 minutes, is considered an escape risk, has committed a violent offense, or presents a danger to himself or others, then remove all their equipment and dress them in an orange jumpsuit and boots. Return their radio, unless they are abusing it.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).

=Surgeries=

Surgery is a simple process with a series of steps. Once these steps are memorized it should become effortless and routine to perform. Keep in mind that once you have mastery over the basics, it's a good idea to aim to be as fast and efficient as possible due to the importance of recycling casualties back into the fight, or even preventing them from dying in the case of [[#Foreign Object/Alien Embryo Removal|Foreign Object/Alien Embryo Removal]]

The first step is either applying anesthetic to the patient via the anesthetic tank and medical mask and turning on its internals (encourage your patient to put on the tank and mask, and turn the internals on as this is fastest and allows you to proceed with step two immediately), or using powerful painkillers like [[Chem_Guide#Oxycodone|Oxycodone]] (recommended only for experienced surgeons). If you use painkillers, you must be careful to make sure that they aren't metabolized/depleted mid-surgery; use your medical scanner to monitor your patient's painkiller levels and redose as necessary. Note that even the most powerful painkillers feature a failure chance for steps taken during the actual surgery.

The second step is to prevent infection: wash your hands, spray yourself with [[Chem_Guide#Space_Cleaner|Space Cleaner]], or best of all, inject your patient with [[Chem_Guide#Spaceacillin|Spaceacillin]] effectively immunizing him from infection while it remains in his system (which will be awhile).

The third step is to place your patient on the surgical table (grab your patient, then click the table with your grabbing hand selected). If you must, you can improvise with a roller bed or even a table, but these improvised surfaces add a failure chance to each surgical step (a table's failure chance is higher).

Now that the preparations are done, you can begin with the actual surgery.

Most surgeries begin with a surgical incision into the tissue. The hemostat step can be saved for later in the surgery or skipped entirely at the cost of damaging your patient over time.
*Open the incision. ([[File:1Scalpel.png|link=|Scalpel]]->[[File:1Hemostat.png|link=|Hemostat]]->[[File:1Retractor.png|link=|Retractor]])

=Combining Surgeries=
Very often people will come in with multiple problems at once. For instance, you might have a patient who has a fractured skull, brain damage, and shrapnel in their head. Performing three separate surgeries is very time consuming when other marines may be waiting. It is possible to condense the surgery down to one in such a manner:

* Broken skull, brain damage, and head shrapnel removal surgery
# [[File:1Scalpel.png|link=|Scalpel]] Cut an incision while aiming with 'Help' intent at the head
# [[File:1Hemostat.png|link=|Hemostat]] Stop bleeders in the head
# [[File:1Retractor.png|link=|Retractor]] Open up the incision for further surgery
# [[File:1Saw.png|link=|Bone Saw]] Cut through the skull
# [[File:1Retractor.png|link=|Retractor]] Open up the skull
# [[File:1Hemostat.png|link=|Hemostat]] Here it gets a bit tricky, use a hemostat repeatedly to pull out bone chips and shrapnel until you get a message that nothing more can be found in the brain. Both types of removal can take several rounds or attempts.
# [[File:1Vixovein.png|link=|Fix-O-Vein]] [[File:Advtraumakit.png|link=|Advanced Trauma Kit]] Use the FixOVein and Trauma Kit to repair hematomas and damage to the brain and eyes if necessary
# Use the Health Analyzer to check that the patient does not have brain damage! If the patient still has brain damage go back and use the hemostat and FixOVein more until the Analyzer shows no brain damage.
# [[File:1Retractor.png|link=|Retractor]] Close the skull back up
# [[File:1Bone-Gel.png|link=|Bone Gel]] Use bone gel on the damaged bones in the skull
# [[File:1Bone Setter.png|link=|Bone Setter]] Piece together the broken or fractured skull
# [[File:1Bone-Gel.png|link=|Bone Gel]] Add bone gel once more
# [[File:1Cautery.png|link=|Cautery]] Seal up the incision
# Use the Health Analyzer again to see if the patient needs antibiotics or anti-toxins and administer them as needed

What about an infected marine with a broken chest, internal bleeding, and a ruptured lung? Here you'll want to use medication from the vendors in medbay in order to tackle the problems at hand.

* Alien embryo removal, ruptured lung, and broken chest surgery (with a side of internal bleeding)
# First use one Quick-clot and one Dexalin Plus injectors to stop internal bleeding and to halt suffocation damage from the ruptured lung. While you can stop internal bleeding surgically, in the vast majority of cases a quick jab with Quick-clot is preferable. Keep a couple of Dex+ injector on hand to keep the patient from dying from the ruptured lung.
# [[File:1Scalpel.png|link=|Scalpel]] Make an incision quickly
# [[File:1Retractor.png|link=|Retractor]] '''Ignore bleeders''' and rearrange organs. Removing the larva ASAP is the top priority right now
# [[File:1Saw.png|link=|Bone Saw]] Cut open the rib cage
# [[File:1Retractor.png|link=|Retractor]] Separate the rib cage
# [[File:1Hemostat.png|link=|Hemostat]] Begin pulling out the alien embryo
# [[File:Advtraumakit.png|link=|Advanced Trauma Kit]] Repair the ruptured lungs and any other damaged organs, note that a mechanical heart requires [[File:1Nanopaste.png|link=|Nanopaste]] to fix
# [[File:1Hemostat.png|link=|Hemostat]] ''Now'' stem the bleeders with the hemostat
# [[File:1Retractor.png|link=|Retractor]] Close up the rib cage
# [[File:1Bone-Gel.png|link=|Bone Gel]] One application of bone gel for the cut rib cage. Cut rib cages and skulls require one application of bone gel after they've been pushed back together.
# [[File:1Bone Setter.png|link=|Bone Setter]] Set the broken bones in the chest
# [[File:1Bone-Gel.png|link=|Bone Gel]] An application for the set bones. In general remember that fixing a broken bone requires one application of bone gel before the setting and one after.
# [[File:1Cautery.png|link=|Cautery]] Cauterize the incision, your patient should be recovering nicely now
# Again, use the Health Analyzer to double-check your work and to dispense spaceacillin or dylovene as needed

=General Tips=
*Wash your hands to help reduce infection chance. A space cleaner bottle on yourself works too. Note that you can inject your patient with 5U of [[Chem_Guide#Spaceacillin|Spaceacillin]] to reliably immunize him from infection (until it is fully metabolized) and circumvent the need to wash your hands.
*Anesthesia is important to successful surgery, make sure to put a mask on the patient's face, an anesthesia tank on their back, and turn their internals on.
*If in a rush, you can give your patients 20U of [[Chem_Guide#Oxycodone|Oxycodone]] for quick surgeries without anesthesia. You need to work quick though. A combination of [[Chem_Guide#Tramadol|Tramadol]] or [[Chem_Guide#Paracetamol|Paracetamol]] and [[Chem_Guide#Inaprovaline|Inaprovaline]] can work well too while giving you more time. 5U of [[Chem_Guide#Chloral Hydrate|Chloral Hydrate]] is highly effective and fast. Do not use Chloral Hydrate excessively as it is toxic. Note that every form of anesthetic other than the anesthetic tank has a chance of causing your patient to flinch during the surgery.
*Patients can often times tell you where they need surgery if an advance scanner is not available.
*Triage cases properly, alien embryo cases and lung ruptures take priority over brain damage cases which in turn take priority over simple bone fractures in limbs.
*Internal organ damage can oftentimes be fixed with Peridaxon turning some surgeries into simpler, faster bone repair surgeries.
*Use the Health Analyzer to check for brain damage during brain surgery to confirm that you've fixed everything.
*Use the Health Analyzer to confirm that a patient's bone fractures are all gone after performing all required bone repair surgeries.
*Use the Health Analyzer to check for post-op infection that should be treated with spaceacillin.
*If no other options are available, roller beds and tables can be used to perform surgery. These cause surgical steps to have a failure chance unfortunately.
* A prototype medical device known as an incision management system or IMS, can often be found planetside; have the marines retrieve it if you can. The IMS acts to create and spread an incision and clamp bleeders simultaneously.
*Infected wound detected in subject [Insert Location Here]. Disinfection of wounds recommended means that the patient has a infected wound that needs to be treated with gauze/advanced brute kit, surgery and spaceacillin won't work at all.
*If you don't have proper surgical tools on hand you can use their ghetto/improvised equivalents [[Surgery#Tools_of_the_Trade|per the table above]] if necessary. Improvised tools generally have a fairly high failure chance starting at about 25%.

Apophis775: /* Crew Authorized Weapons */

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
## If the suspect is being held for less than 30 minutes for a non-violent offense, remove all of their equipment with the exception of their boots, jumpsuit, and radio.
## If the suspect is being held for more than 30 minutes, is considered an escape risk, has committed a violent offense, or presents a danger to himself or others, then remove all their equipment and dress them in an orange jumpsuit and boots. Return their radio, unless they are abusing it.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized their headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 
===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Commander (if there is no Chief MP) is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, they are to be released. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander & Admiral of the Almayer holds the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only [http://www.colonial-marines.com/viewforum.php?f=141 whitelisted] Commanders have this authority). They may kill anyone under their command or on their ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. The CO/Admiral must state why the individual was executed and should the MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command VIA FAX to inquire if the execution was reasonable afterwards. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.). 
This power can only be used on captured prisoners when it is not possible to perform standard execution procedures. 
(This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.)
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
 
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines, security (non-lethals only), the Acting Commander, XO, Staff Officers, and Requisitions Officer. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew (not visitors, refugees, or prisoners) are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

Apophis775: /* Crew Authorized Weapons */

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.

Apophis775: /* Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement) */

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force, the Chief MP or acting commander may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
## If the suspect is being held for less than 30 minutes for a non-violent offense, remove all of their equipment with the exception of their boots, jumpsuit, and radio.
## If the suspect is being held for more than 30 minutes, is considered an escape risk, has committed a violent offense, or presents a danger to himself or others, then remove all their equipment and dress them in an orange jumpsuit and boots. Return their radio, unless they are abusing it.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized their headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 
===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Commander (if there is no Chief MP) is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, they are to be released. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander & Admiral of the Almayer holds the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only [http://www.colonial-marines.com/viewforum.php?f=141 whitelisted] Commanders have this authority). They may kill anyone under their command or on their ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. The CO/Admiral must state why the individual was executed and should the MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command VIA FAX to inquire if the execution was reasonable afterwards. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.). 
This power can only be used on captured prisoners when it is not possible to perform standard execution procedures. 
(This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.)
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
 
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines, security (non-lethals only), the Acting Commander, XO, Staff Officers, and Requisitions Officer. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''Note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander & Admiral of the Almayer holds the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only [http://www.colonial-marines.com/viewforum.php?f=141 whitelisted] Commanders have this authority). They may kill anyone under their command or on their ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. The CO/Admiral must state why the individual was executed and should the MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command VIA FAX to inquire if the execution was reasonable afterwards. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.). 
This power can only be used on captured prisoners when it is not possible to perform standard execution procedures. 
(This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.)
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
 
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines, security (non-lethals only), the Acting Commander, XO, Staff Officers, and Requisitions Officer. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

Apophis775: /* Release in the event of a catastrophe */

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force,the Chief MP or acting commander (may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
## If the suspect is being held for less than 30 minutes for a non-violent offense, remove all of their equipment with the exception of their boots, jumpsuit, and radio.
## If the suspect is being held for more than 30 minutes, is considered an escape risk, has committed a violent offense, or presents a danger to himself or others, then remove all their equipment and dress them in an orange jumpsuit and boots. Return their radio, unless they are abusing it.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized their headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 
===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Commander (if there is no Chief MP) is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, they are to be released. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force. 
''note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.

Apophis775: /* Release in the event of a catastrophe */

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force,the Chief MP or acting commander (may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
## If the suspect is being held for less than 30 minutes for a non-violent offense, remove all of their equipment with the exception of their boots, jumpsuit, and radio.
## If the suspect is being held for more than 30 minutes, is considered an escape risk, has committed a violent offense, or presents a danger to himself or others, then remove all their equipment and dress them in an orange jumpsuit and boots. Return their radio, unless they are abusing it.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized their headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 
===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
====Appeals====
An appeal is primarily intended to determine guilt or innocence. A Chief MP or Commander (if there is no Chief MP) is expected to review the evidence of the suspects crimes, the report of the arresting officer, and the testimony of the suspect. If the Chief MP concludes that the suspect is not guilty of a law violation, they are to be released. If they are found to be guilty, then the punishment stands. Under no circumstances may anyone be given a Pardon if there is evidence to show a crime was committed.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration. If the ship is at Red Alert, all MPs should return to the Brig to ensure the safety of prisoners.
====Release in the event of a catastrophe====
In the event of a Delta Alert (activation of self destruct) any prisoners may be released if the MPs believe that they will not be a threat to the crew. A normal Red Alert, is not sufficient reason for a release unless the ship is being over-run by a large hostile force.
''note:'' a small force of enemies on board is not "over-run by a large hostile force". You should ensure the prisoners are kept safe and alive as long as they are in your custody, and release them only if this becomes impossible to perform due to a large enemy force.
 
 

=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander & Admiral of the Almayer holds the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only [http://www.colonial-marines.com/viewforum.php?f=141 whitelisted] Commanders have this authority). They may kill anyone under their command or on their ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. The CO/Admiral must state why the individual was executed and should the MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command VIA FAX to inquire if the execution was reasonable afterwards. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.). 
This power can only be used on captured prisoners when it is not possible to perform standard execution procedures. 
(This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.)
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
 
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines, security (non-lethals only), the Acting Commander, XO, Staff Officers, and Requisitions Officer. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

(This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.)
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
 
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines, security (non-lethals only), the Acting Commander, XO, Staff Officers, and Requisitions Officer. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

Apophis775:

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Foreword=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 

=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force,the Chief MP or acting commander (may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Search Procedure=
''Note:'' If you take an ID to get access somewhere for a search, you must ensure the ID gets back to them when you are finished (or with their belongings if they are detained
 
==Personnel==
# Inform the person you are conducting and of your intent (i.e. contraband, stolen items).
# If possible, conduct the search in the Brig or an isolated area so nothing is stolen.
# Begin the search and confiscate any illegal items.
## If they comply, you do not need to restrain them.
## If they resist, you may use non-lethal force to restrain them.
#If illegal items are found, follow Arrest and Brig procedures, otherwise release them.
 
==Unsecured Area==
# Secure the area with Police Tape. If none is available, have additional MPs help secure the area.
# Search any locations, lockers, crates, and personnel within the area, following the above rule for Personnel.
# Take any recovered illicit items to the brig and store them in the Evidence area for processing.
 
==Secured Area==
# Request someone responsible for the secured area to be present.
# Declare your intent and reason for the search.
# Request access from whoever is responsible for the area.
## If the person responsible is the person you are investigating or the search is relative too, you may restrain them and use their ID temporarily for access. Ensure an MP guards them.
## If no one is available, request either the CE or an MT to over-ride the door. In a pinch, any combat engineer will do. Ensure the area is re-secured after you leave.
# Search the area for whatever evidence or whatever you are expecting to find.
# Ensure that no unauthorized personnel other than the individuals executing the search enter. Detain anyone unauthorized.
# Ensure nothing is stolen, and anything taken is relevant to the search. This is not an excuse to loot.
# Anything taken in the search is to be brought the Brig and stored in Evidence for processing.
 
 
=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
# Conduct a thorough search of all their belongings.
## If the suspect is being held for less than 30 minutes for a non-violent offense, remove all of their equipment with the exception of their boots, jumpsuit, and radio.
## If the suspect is being held for more than 30 minutes, is considered an escape risk, has committed a violent offense, or presents a danger to himself or others, then remove all their equipment and dress them in an orange jumpsuit and boots. Return their radio, unless they are abusing it.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized their headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 
===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration.
 
 
=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander & Admiral of the Almayer holds the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only [http://www.colonial-marines.com/viewforum.php?f=141 whitelisted] Commanders have this authority). They may kill anyone under their command or on their ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. The CO/Admiral must state why the individual was executed and should the MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command VIA FAX to inquire if the execution was reasonable afterwards. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.). 
This power can only be used on captured prisoners when it is not possible to perform standard execution procedures. 
(This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.)
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command.

If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
 
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines, security (non-lethals only), the Acting Commander, XO, Staff Officers, and Requisitions Officer. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.

# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force,the Chief MP or acting commander (may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay. Also, Prisoners should NEVER be left with their ID on.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
## If the suspect is being held for less than 30 minutes for a non-violent offense, remove all of their equipment with the exception of their boots, jumpsuit, and radio.
## If the suspect is being held for more than 30 minutes, is considered an escape risk, has committed a violent offense, or presents a danger to himself or others, then remove all their equipment and dress them in an orange jumpsuit and boots. Return their radio, unless they are abusing it.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized their headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 
===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration.
 
 
=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander & Admiral of the Almayer holds the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution (Important: Only [http://www.colonial-marines.com/viewforum.php?f=141 whitelisted] Commanders have this authority). They may kill anyone under their command or on their ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. The CO/Admiral must state why the individual was executed and should the MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command VIA FAX to inquire if the execution was reasonable afterwards. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.). 
This power can only be used on captured prisoners when it is not possible to perform standard execution procedures. 
(This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.)
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command permanently and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
If they are not going to be removed from command permanently, they can instead be placed into the brig to server their sentence and the next in command takes temporary command. Central Command does not need to approve these cases and only needs to be alerted. However, visiting executives and Admirals are NOT bound by this and can only be removed with Central Command approval.
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
 
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines, security (non-lethals only), the Acting Commander, XO, Staff Officers, and Requisitions Officer. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Forward=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 
=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.

# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.

# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
## If the suspect is being held for less than 30 minutes for a non-violent offense, remove all of their equipment with the exception of their boots, jumpsuit, and radio.
## If the suspect is being held for more than 30 minutes, is considered an escape risk, has committed a violent offense, or presents a danger to himself or others, then remove all their equipment and dress them in an orange jumpsuit and boots. Return their radio, unless they are abusing it.

The [[Marines|Colonial Marines]] are equipped with the best equipment around, well with what a couple thousand credits can buy, at least. They have a load-out of a lot of equipment.

It comes equipped with a high power scope allowing the user a wide range of vision. For drawbacks, this weapon is limited to fifteen rounds per magazine, a very obvious and loud firing noise, and the fact that it is wholly ineffective in close range combat as bullets fired too close to the user will miss.

This weapon carries the most powerful ordnance available to marine infantry in the form of either High Explosive, Armour Piercing, or White Phosphorus 84mm rockets. Operators should keep in mind that SADAR ammo is scarce, while the launcher itself can be unwieldy to deploy and take a few seconds to be ready to fire from a resting position. Operators should also keep in mind that the Almayer's SADAR model is reusable, but lacks an auto-tracking feature. By default, the SADAR comes loaded with an HE rocket.

This allows a smartgun operator to fire freely through a group of marines without fear of hitting them. The Smartgun requires a special harness to lift and will automatically retract to the harness suit storage when the user is knocked down or else loses hold of the weapon. Like the SADAR, the user must stand still while reloading.

Firing extra-thick sticky napthal fuel from detachable fuel tanks, the M240 is able to both set hostiles ablaze and to section off an area with a wall of fire. For extended field operations, users of the M240 often find themselves refilling their tanks with whatever flammable material is available, with welding fuel being an effective and popular choice. A big drawback to the M240 is that due to the nature of the tanks, they cannot be refilled unless they are completely empty. Currently, two flamers can be found in a Squad Leader's personal vendor. More flamers can be ordered from cargo.

|style="border: 2px solid black; padding: 5px;" |A secure box holding anti-personnel proximity mines. There are 4 M20 Claymore anti-personnel mines per mine box.

'''How to deploy mines:''' Take a M20 mine out of the box, once its in your hand stand on top of the tile you want to place the mine onto, from there, face the tile you want the mine to detect enemies on. Once done, click on the mine in your active hand; after a few seconds you'll have the mine placed and armed on your tile. Any mob that enters the mine's tile, or the tiles it's facing, living or dead, will cause the mine to detonate if it doesn't have an appropriate ID (usually Xenos). When the mine detonates, it damages and knocks prone mobs in a cross pattern.

'''How to retrieve mines:''' Use a multitool on the deployed mine.

'''Suggested Usage:''' Place mines at key choke points that you suspect the enemy will pass through, and cover them with obstructing items (good ones include large objects like table parts, grilles, crates, wood planks, vendors and so on). A mine detonation won't kill anything by itself so make sure there is a sentry and/or marines supporting the mine to finish off anything that trips it.

|style="border: 2px solid black; padding: 5px;" |[[File:SentryGun.png|64px]] '''UA 571-C Sentry'''
|style="border: 2px solid black; padding: 5px;" |These engineer-only sentry guns are the spear and shield of the Colonial Marines. These beasts hold 300 shots a mag and cause moderate damage to the target hit. The sentry's tracking and targeting system differentiates between hostile and friendly entities via their equipped IDs; anyone without an authorized ID will be fired at. Sentries have both a single shot and three shot burst fire setting, targeting either a directional lock 180 degree spread in front of the turret's facing out to 7 tiles, or 360 degrees around the turret out to 3 tiles. While on 360 mode, if a detected hostile is not within 180 degrees of the sentry's facing angle, the sentry will require time to turn in order to face and shoot it. Sentries can also be manually aimed and fired as necessary.

'''How to construct it:''' Open the crate, Take the plasteel out, activate it in hand and select the turret frame. Wrench turret frame in place, add cable, add turret, add sensor, add metal, weld together, add battery (try to put in a High-Capacity one or better rather than the standard one that comes in the box), Click on turret to turn on.

'''Additional instructions:''' You can move a built sentry by turning it off, using a screwdriver to unbolt it, then pushing/dragging it to a new position. Once the sentry is in position, use a screwdriver on it again to secure it, whereupon it can resume operation. You can use a wrench to change the sentry's facing direction while it's turned off and screwed down. Lastly, you can lock or unlock a sentry gun's settings by using an ID card on it that has an appropriate access level (usually a [[Squad Engineer]]'s ID); helpful for stopping people from messing with them.

'''Maintenance:''' If your sentry is knocked over, click on it with an empty hand to right it. You can use a blow torch to make repairs to it if it is damaged.

'''Suggested Usage:''' Place sentries at key areas that require either substantial fire support or protection, typically the forward operating base (FOB), or offensive outposts used for pushing against hostiles. Directional lock should only be used if you can secure the sentry's uncovered flanks; switch to 360 mode to deal with flanking enemies. You can use manual fire to clear obstacles in front of the gun like resin walls/doors, to engage in suppressive fire, or attack hostiles that the sentry won't automatically engage (remember to turn off safeties if this is the case; mind FF). Synergizes well with M20 mines by finishing off hostiles stunned by them. Remember to monitor the Sentry's integrity and repair with a blow torch as needed.

The M56D can hold up to 700 tungsten rounds that cause high damage to the target upon hit due to their increased armour penetration. The tracking system of a standard smartgun is non-functional on the M56D. '''Note that this does not have IFF tracking built into it, so you will hit friendlies with it.'''

'''How to toggle burst fire:''' Ctrl click the M56D before manning it, when you next hop on it'll use burst fire.

'''How to construct it:''' Click on the mount once it's in your hand -> Wrench it -> Mount the Gun -> Screwdriver it -> Apply Ammo Drum, Rotate with wrench, deconstruct with screwdriver.

=Weapon Attachments=
Marines can acquire attachments for weapons. Most attachments must be acquired via the Requisitions Officer located in the center of the Almayer's lower deck. Most ROs usually only give one or two attachments to most marines, though some may grant more to squad leaders, medics, engineers, or specialists. Being polite to the Requisitions staff might get you extra stuff. Say please and thank you. The only exception is for the Rail Flashlight and Bayonet attachments, where it can be found in Marine Vendors inside your respective Prep rooms.

Most guns have three attachment locations: the rail, under barrel and the muzzle. Each location allows only one attachment at a time. Most attachments offer an advantage and some disadvantage.

The statistics for attachments are subject to change and will most likely change often. Until they do change, this page will be up to date on the statistics on each attachment.

''Patient: "Doctor, I can't feel my legs!''
''Doctor: "I know, we amputated your legs''

A [[Squad Medic]] can bandage a wounded marine, but sometimes the situation is so bad that the Marine should be taken from combat back to the Almayer. That's where you, the '''Almayer Doctor''' comes, safe in your medbay on the Almayer, you'll be doing all the things normal field medics can't do.

== Role ==
----
Your job as a '''Almayer Doctor''' is '''to heal what the [[Squad Medic|Combat Medics]] can't'''. You will be responsible for:
* Treating major wounds and infections
* Operating on patients in need of major surgeries
* Concocting medicine as required
* Handling triage

You answer to the '''[[Chief Medical Officer]]''', and should follow their instructions and advice at all times, unless the [[Commander]] says otherwise. You also work with the [[Researcher]], they don't really do much, but don't bother them in case they're on the verge of a breakthrough!

===Drug Distribution===
'''Drug distribution can be defined as:'''

"Any drugs found in medical will require authorisation from the CMO and the CO for distribution."

To sum it up, the CMO and the acting commander are authorising the client (AKA, anyone who asks for drugs from medbay. Most commonly medics.) to be given Medbay's medical supplies.'''

To distribute drugs, you as a doctor will have to ask the CMO to authorise it and also the get acting commanders permission to distribute drugs as well, if that doesn't happen the act of distributing drugs is seen as illegal and is punishable in accordance to [http://www.colonial-marines.com/wiki/Marine_Law marine law.]

=== Tools of the Trade ===
----
The Almayer doctor is given a number of trusty tools to assist him or her in their duty, which is, being a doctor! These tools include:
* Four cryogenic cells
* A Chemistry laboratory
* Two operating theaters
* Four sleepers
* Two body scanners
* Defibrillators
* A ton of medical kits!
* Several IVs and a supply of blood bags
* A bunch of other supplies

=== I'm a doctor! Now what? ===
----
At the beginning of each round, you will have 20-30 minutes to prepare the Medbay before injured marines start showing up. During this time, it is important to set up certain systems that you will need to deliver an efficient and effective medical experience.

'''Preventing Overwork and Long Wait Times:'''

Here are some common tasks that can help improve the effectiveness of your medical environment.
* Go to the cryogenic freezer and turn it on.
The freezer cools the cryogenic cells, which is required for them to function effectively.You are able to customize the power and target temperature for the cryogenic cells, but the default configuration is the most efficient. As an additional improvement, you can fill the cryogenic cells with enhanced beakers.

* Create Peridaxon pills.
Peridaxon is an important drug used to cure internal organ injuries (damaged heart, lungs, liver, eyes, and brain). If the body scanner indicates that these target internal areas are damaged, a pill of Peridaxon will quickly cure the damage. Typical dosages should be in the 5u to 6u range. 
Keep in mind that if the patient has robotic organs (i.e. a robotic heart), Peridaxon will have no effect and you will need to perform internal organ surgery.

* Set up the IV drips.
IV drips are used to provide patients with blood. To use them, take a blood pack (or a beaker, if you want to inject chemicals) and use it on the IV drip to load it. After loading the IV drip, pull it to be adjacent to your patient and click-and-drag the IV drip to your patient's body. You should get a message that the IV drip was attached. '''MAKE SURE THAT THE BLOOD IS COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR PATIENT.''' If you are a lazy heathen, use blood (all blood types can take O- blood)

Always unattached the IV drip when you move the patient away. Patients will take minor brute damage if you pull them away while they are still attached.

* Produce supplies for Squad Medics.
Squad medics have access to the medical communications channel through a medical key available in their lockers. They may request that you provide them with certain chemicals as a part of their preparation routine. Usual requests from medics may be: Bicardine, peridaxon, tricordrazine, and other medications. Always provide these medications in pill form, and in a labeled pill bottle.

=== Surgery ===

As the round progresses, your main role will be to administer aid to the individuals that visit the Medbay. Since Squad Medics can patch up and resolve minor injuries, marines will typically only visit the Medbay if they have a severe internal injury that requires surgery. Because surgery is a time-consuming process with many separate steps, it is important to be educated on how to conduct surgery.

For a step-by-step surgery guide, please refer to the [http://colonial-marines.com/wiki/Surgery guide to Surgery].

=== General Guidance ===
----
Nobody likes to wait in the Medbay while they are injured and unconscious. As a doctor, you need to organize your activities and manage your workflow efficiently in order to process patients quickly and reduce the time that everyone has to wait. This can become especially important if you are the only doctor actively conducting surgery.

Your actions will have a large impact upon whether or not the marines will be victorious, because your ability to do surgery influences the number of active marines currently engaged in combating the alien menace. Do your job well.

'''Efficiency Tips or "How to Save Seconds on Every Procedure":'''

* Use Peridaxon pills to cure internal organ injuries instead of surgery (unless they have mechanical organs).
* Before conducting surgery, always print a body scan of the patient and have it readily available.
* If the patient has low blood levels and also requires surgery, give them the IV drip '''while''' they are on the surgery table.
* Print mechanical limbs early on in the surgery procedure so they are ready immediately when you need them.
* Ask your patient to remove their backpack/mask. This is much faster than taking off their items manually.
* Wash your hands right after you set your patient's internals. It take a second for your patient to fall asleep, so you can take this time to wash your hands for the surgery.
* The hemostat step after an incision is OPTIONAL. If you need to speed through surgeries at top speed, you can skip "Clamping bleeders" for your patient after you apply the scalpel. Keep in mind that this will cause them to '''bleed''' during the surgery.
* For a single patient, conduct all required surgeries at once. This reduces the number of times you need to pick up surgery tools.

'''Brief notice: Only Doctors, Researchers and the CMO should be messing with chemical substances.
'''

====Tools of the Trade====
# '''Grinder'''/'''Juicer''': This is used to extract chemicals out of many things. For your uses, it'll be mostly pills and food. Most commonly used for grinding solid Phoron for your Clonexadone and Peridaxon needs.[[File:ChemLab.png|thumbnail|border|right|Chemistry Lab]]
# '''Chem''' '''Dispenser''': If you were a marine, this would be your rifle. It dispenses the basic chemicals if a beaker is placed inside. Runs off battery charge which replenishes over time. Has several settings for dispensing chems (5 to 40 units).
# '''ChemMaster''': This machine is used for precise control over the amount of chemicals in a beaker, creating bottles and pills. Once a beaker is placed in, you can move desired amounts of it's contents to "buffer" by clicking on buttons present next to the name of the chemical. Clicking again while they're in "buffer" will flush them down disposals, aka they're lost forever. This setting can be changed by the button located between the beaker and buffer contents, just click it once to change to "transfer to beaker." A pill bottle can be inserted into the machine to automatically hold created pills. You can insert and empty beaker into the chem master and click "create bottle" several times to get a bunch of 60u containers for free. You can make Phoron pills and dissolve them in your Phoron beaker as the quickest way of removing it from advanced chems.
# '''Beakers''': At round-start, there will be several empty beakers and a beaker containing Cryoxadone.
# '''Chemical Storage''': Chemical storage. It can hold beakers, bottles, pill bottles, pills, etc etc. Useful for not having your chems all over the floor, but people usually forget to check it when in need of something.
----

====Equipment====
*'''Beakers and Bottles:'''
**Most basic tool of your trade. Right-clicking one can change it's transfer amount per click. Pills can be dissolved in beakers that already contain something. If you "use" one while holding it in hand, you will put a lid on it, preventing you from splashing it's contents by clicking on the floor by mistake. They come in bottle/small beaker - 60u, large beaker - 120u, and bluespace beaker - 300u. There's only one bluespace beaker on the map, so don't put it in a grenade.
*'''Dropper:'''
**Like beakers, can be right-clicked for transfer amount. Used for moving small amounts of chemicals between other containers.
*'''Syringe:'''
**Has two modes switched by "using" it - draw and inject. Hold 15u max, draw 5u per click. Can be used to take blood samples and inject them into mass spectometers for analysis. Using it on harm intent will instantly inject a random amount of the chemical inside while dealing minor brute damage and destroying the syringe. Injecting someone else takes a short time of both standing motionless.
*'''Injector:'''
**These hold 15u max. Can be emptied and refilled via the use of a syringe. They deliver their entire capacity in one click, instantly, but are one use-only. Pre-loaded injectors cannot be filled with more than their initial amount, for example a dexalin plus autoinjector can hold only 1u no matter how hard you try to refill it. Pills can be dissolved into an injector apparently as long as it already contains something, but as with beakers, anything over the max capacity will be wasted.
*'''Pill:'''
**60u max. Takes some time to use on someone, like the syringe. There's also a tiny delay between swallowing a pill and it's contents entering your bloodstream, but it's too little to matter. Can be dissolved in a beaker already containing a solution.
*'''Pill Bottle:'''
**Holds 14 pills max. Clicking on a tile with pills on it while holding the bottle will pick up all the pills scattered on it.
*'''Syringe Case:'''
**Holds three syringes/bottles/injectors.
*'''Hypospray:'''
**Holds 30 units, comes pre-loaded with tricordrazine. Can be drained and refilled with a syringe. Instantly injects 5u doses.
*'''Labellers and Pens:'''
**Labels can be put on anything you can click on. If you use the labeller on something two times, it will look like this: pill bottle (organ damage) (safe dose: 2)
**Pens replace the name of a chem-master bottle, so instead of bottle (peridaxon) you get a Peridaxon bottle.
----

====Medicines and Chemicals====
*'''How do they mix?''':
Recipes have ratios in parts. For example, Dylovene is <code>1 part Nitrogen, 1 part Potassium and 1 part Silicon</code>, resulting in 3 parts Dylovene.

Peridaxon, on the other hand, is <code>1 part Bicardine, 1 part Clonexadone and 5 units Phoron (catalyst)</code>, meaning that any amount of Bicardine and Clonexadone will mix as long as there's 5 units of Phoron present.

Most chems mix in a direct radio, where 30 of one ingredient and 30 of another will equal 60 of your final product. If there is a catalyst present, it '''will not''' be used up in the reaction.

Remember to always add the catalyst last, or you will end up with fucked up ratios and things like "5.982329779799999 units".
The metabolism rates shown here are based on server tick rate. During times of lag ticks come slower.

Be careful: Some chemicals produce [[#Toxin|Toxin]]s when combined with others. Examples are: [[#Hyperzine|Hyperzine]] and [[#Peridaxon|Peridaxon]], [[#Paracetamol|Paracetamol]] and [[#Tramadol|Tramadol]], and [[#Dylovene|Dylovene]] and [[#Synaptazine|Synaptazine]].

''But the good news — we got four of these robot sentries with display and scanners intact. They really kick ass, I think they'll come in handy.''
―Corporal Hicks, ''Aliens''

As a '''Squad Engineer''', you main goals will be '''fixing power''', '''getting through doors''', and '''setting up fortifications for a FOB (Forward Operating Base)''' that'll be used for defence and to secure a supply route. Without you, your platoon will have no power or a FOB which is critical for mission success.

You'll have two different playstyles you can experiment with. One, as a FOB building and '''Utility Engineer''', who sets up defences and makes sure power is running. Another way to play Engineer is to be a '''Combat Engineer''', breaching walls, hacking open doors, and repairing robotic limbs on the field. Both are as good as the other, but too much of one is bad. Make sure there is an FOB that will be able to be defended, and if there is one, make sure marines will be able to effectively make it from building to building.
----
==Equipment and Gear==
----
As an Engineer, you'll have many things you'll be able to pickup. To start off, we'll talk about engineer coin items.

|The Sentry Gun automatically tracks and fires upon any target that is wearing an ID not hooked up to the Almayer's systems. Via IFF, they are unable to hit friendly marines, allowing them to be safely placed behind marine laws as they lay down supressing fire. Comes with various options, such as 360 degree mode, burst fire, and the ability to take control of it. Has 300 bullets.

'''How to construct it:''' Construct Turret Frame with Plasteel -> Wrench it -> Apply Cable -> Add Turret Piece -> Add Turret Sensor -> Apply Metal -> Weld it -> Add bigger battery if needed. Rotate with wrench, screwdriver to make it movable. Weld to repair it.
|-

|The M56D HMG is an emplacement that a marine will have to man in order to fire it. It fires heavier smartgun bullets that have increased penetration, at the downside of being immobile and not having IFF, allowing it to friendly fire. With CTRL-Click, you'll be able to toggle on burst fire. Holds 700 rounds.'''

'''How to construct it:''' Click on the mount once it's in your hand -> Wrench it -> Mount the Gun -> Screwdriver it -> Apply Ammo Drum. Rotate with wrench, deconstruct with screwdriver.

==Tasks as an Engineer==
----
=== Power Duty ===

As an Engineer, you'll be given a various amount of duties. Generally one of the first two duties is FOB or Power Duty. To setup power, you'll want to locate the geothermal generators [[File:Geothermal.png]] and assess the damage. Depending on the sprite, the generator will need different steps:

[[File:Geothermal_Destroyed.png]] = [[File:Welder.gif|link=|Welder]] -> [[File:Wirecutters.png|link=|Wirecutters]] -> [[File:Wrench.png|link=|Wrench]]

[[File:Geothermal_Broken.png]] = [[File:Wirecutters.png|link=|Wirecutters]] -> [[File:Wrench.png|link=|Wrench]]

[[File:Geothermal_Damaged.png]] = [[File:Wrench.png|link=|Wrench]]

With this done, you'll want to turn it on and set up the Superconducting Magnetic Energy Storages, (SMESes) which can be setup by clicking on them and setting '''input to 250,000W''' and '''output to 200,000W'''. This'll ensure that they are recieving more charge than they are giving out. Do this for all three, and make sure that the SMESes are charging before you head to your next objective.

=== Hacking ===
----
You'll also be tasked with hacking. Thankfully, it sounds a lot harder than it is. As an engineer, you'll care about three wires: Contraband, test light, and bolts. The test light depowers the door and allows you to crowbar it open, the bolt wire bolts it open or bolts it closed, and the contraband wire is used on vendors to allow for extra goodies.

How do you hack? Simple. Screwdriver open the door, click on it, and pulse with your multi tool until the desired effect occurs. Need to open it? Pulse until test light is off, and then cut it or crowbar it open. Need to bolt it? Pulse until the door is bolted with a notification displayed in the chatlog. Need extra goodies from a vendor? Screwdriver the vendor, then Pulse until the goodies show up in the vendor list. Keep the wire colours in mind, since they're all universal. Sometimes when you pulse a wire shocks will come out. In this case, you'll want to cut the wire with wirecutters and then mend them. Problem solved.

=== APC Maintenance===
If the APC hasn't been blown up or destroyed during a gunfight always check the apcs wires by unscrewing the apc frame and click on the apc with your wirecutters, if the wires come up with a mend option, mend the wires with the wirecutters. (Click on mend while holding wirecutters in your active hand.) If someone blew up the apc or blasted it into another dimension follow the steps below.

So, someone decided to throw a grenade next to the APC or you just arrived to a broken APC and your SL has tasked you with fixing it whilst the squad holds off the incoming xeno tide. No need to panic as this section will get you to quickly repair that APC.
#First you'll want to whack off the cover; to do this just hit the APC with any sort of weapon, generally a combat knife is good for this.
#Take out the battery (Power cell) in the APC once the cover is off with an empty hand.
#Use a screwdriver on the APC.
#Use wirecutters on the APC.
#Use a crowbar on the APC.
#Build an APC frame from 2 metal sheets then click on the APC with the APC frame in hand.
#Use wires (Cable Coil) on the APC.
#Click on the APC with a power control module in hand.
#Use a screwdriver on the APC.
#Place a new battery (Power cell) in the APC. (Just click on the APC with the battery in hand.)
#Use a crowbar on the APC.
#Open up the APC pop up window once you've completed all previous steps and turn on the breaker.

== FOB Duty ==
----
As an Engineer on FOB duty, you'll be setting up the base that the marines will primarily use to organize, to heal up, to retreat to, and to make a final last stand at. To make a good FOB, you'll want to make strategic use of your landmines, the smartgun HMG or the sentry gun, and various defensive emplacements. A good FOB is the difference between losing the round and holding off long enough to make a push back and finally win the round since it provides a safe place for marines to rest, resupply and recover at.

Barricades will block block projectiles from the direction it's facing, including [[Boiler|boiler]] globs, which should be kept in mind while setting them up. Additonally, you'll want to keep a few key things in mind: Can marines easily move around the FOB, is it easily acessiable, and if needed, is it easy to retreat from and does it have multiple exits?

Another extremely important aspect of your FOB is looking out for flanks. The enemy can and will use these to their advantage, either to sneak in and harass wounded, or the burst in and slaughter the entire FOB. As well, you'll want to keep a look out for walls that have acid sprayed over them. This means in time another opening will present itself, and you'll want to throw up more barricades to compensate. Additionally, if you have barricades and metal to spare: '''THROW BARBED WIRE ON EVERYTHING''' as this'll increase strength, make it so [[Runner|runners]] can't run over it, and damage any attacking xenos. They only cost two metal, they're good.

==Your Skillset==
[[File:Engineer_skill_set.png]]

To find out about how the skill system works head over to the [http://www.colonial-marines.com/wiki/The_Skill_System skills system page].

=General Tips=
*Examining an incomplete Sentry frame will list what it is and isn't missing. This can help if you stumble upon somebody's half-assed arts n' crafts project, or if you find yourself forgetting steps mid-construction.

*When constructing your defenses, keep in mind that some of your enemies can simply bypass them due to their speedy and slight nature, plan for this by ensuring some of the men guarding your defenses are geared, or at least prepared, for close quarters combat.

*All vendors contain a 'contraband' wire, pulsing this wire after beginning the hack with a screwdriver will cause a few new items to show up in the vendor, but as a general warning, it is against Marine Law to hack the vendors on the Almayer, so keep an eye out for [[Military Police|MP's]] before you accidentally cause trouble.

*Plasteel and Metal are valuable resources sure, but just remember that you aren't the only person that needs them, don't hoard loads of building supplies otherwise you might find other players unable to perform their jobs.

*In a pinch, even the average door can make a solid defense, by welding a door shut it will no longer be able to be wrenched open, either by [[Aliens|Xenomorphs]] or a [[Survivor|man wielding a crowbar]]. Hacking the door and forcing its bolts down has this same effect, but welding is substantially quicker and a lot safer when you've got bad guys breathing down your neck.

*As an Engineer, it's in your job description to keep any defensive structures you or another engineer builds in tip-top shape, this may include having to repair metal barricades and the like in the midst of combat or replace melted structures with new ones, which is dangerous, but it's what you signed on for. This also goes for APC's and any broken lights you may see, you'll want to replace these post-haste so that marines may benefit from their existence.

*Just as a general reminder, if you intend to be hacking open doors or pulsing wires in vendors, you'll want to be wearing Insulated Gloves, Budget Insulated Gloves work too, but aren't as good. Failure to wear the correct PPE* for your work environment will result in a hearty shock if you touch the wrong wire. (*Personal Protection Equipment)

*You might've noticed that the welder is one of the two most important tools for an engineer to have, you may also have noticed it carries a measly 20u's of welding fuel before it needs to be refueled, or you could replace it with another welder that would eventually also need to be refueled. To do this, you'll need to find either a Welding Kit (It looks like two propane tanks were turned into a backpack, or some kind of futuristic jet pack) or a Fuel Tank (This one is a large gas canister that fills an entire tile, hard to miss it), the Welding Kit can be placed in the backpack slot for easy access, but carries less fuel than the Tank, the Tank carries a large amount of fuel, but can only be dragged around. After you've located your refueling utensil, have your welder in hand, make sure it is turned OFF (This part is key to success) and click on the Kit/Tank, you'll get a bit of flavor text saying 'the welder has been refueled' if you've done it correctly.

|jobtitle = Researcher
|difficulty = Medium
|superior = Chief Medical Officer, Commander/Executive Officer
|duties = .Research and Develop, inspect any xenobiological elements given to you by Marines. Make chemicals.
|guides = [[Research_Guide | Guide to Research]], [http://www.colonial-marines.com/wiki/Chem_Guide Guide to Chemistry]}}

''"I wish you could understand what we're trying to do here. The potential for this species goes way beyond urban pacification. New alloys, new vaccines. Nothing like this we've ever seen on any world before."'' ―Dr. Wren, ''Alien Resurrection''

'''''Note that Research is currently undergoing a complete rework so as it stands researcher is very much a stand in doctor and a fluff, Rp role.'''''

== Role ==
----
The better name for this job might be "mad scientist" or "jack of all trades". In general, your job is to research and develop new technology in the science lab and study anything xenobiological. Past that, this role can be very open-ended and can be played in several ways. It's unclear whether the Researchers are MDs or PhDs, but it's doubtful anybody will get upset at you for knowing and practicing medicine. It's also doubtful anybody will be offended if you take on engineering projects like building machines and other equipment. Unless you're trying to interact and be helpful, it's very possible that no one will pay attention to you at all - but please don't blow the ship up or harm the crew. The Researcher is a good "swing role" to help out an over-burdened medical team or assist other departments. Be prepared to channel your inner Dr. Frankenstein and clone dead people if the CMO wants you to.

When dealing with Xenomorphs, this role demands a high level of roleplay. Roleplay doesn’t include:
* “Yeah, well it makes you a host for xenomorphs.”
* “Yeah, I’ve seen this before.”
* “They’re hostile. Kill them all. Don’t worry, I can tell.”
* “Just jam it in the cage and forget it exists.”
* “Guys, I can translate. Get me a recorder. I can tell it’ll work.” (Deduce it, please? Like, for fifteen minutes?)

All variations of this are also pretty horrible, so don’t do it, okay?

== Equipment ==
----
You are supplied with some top of the line equipment. A list of it can be found below:
* Destructive Analyzer
* W-Y Brand Organic Analyzer
* Protolathe
* Circuit Imprinter
* W-Y Brand Bio-Organic Printer
* Toximate 3000
* Chemistry Dispenser
* ChemMaster 3000
* Biological Containment Cells

== How to Research ==
----
=== Preparation ===
To prepare the R&D lab for research:
* Click the research console and sync all the devices around it
* Get 120u Sulfuric Acid from the Chemistry Dispenser and add it to the Circuit Imprinter
* Add around 12 sheets of glass to the Circuit Imprinter and about 14 sheets to the Protolathe
* Add around 20 sheets of metal to the Protolathe

=== Advancing Research Levels ===
Get the research levels up by sticking things in the Destructive Analyzer and letting it destroy them. Here's a general guide on how to get levels up with minimal effort:
* Scattered around R&D: Matter Bin, Micro Laser, Capacitor, Large Chemical Grenade, Health Analyzer
* Use the Protolathe: Tracking Beacon
* Use the Circuit Imprinter: Arcade Machine, Gas Heating System Board, PanDEMIC 2200
* Use the Protolathe: Mining Drill, Optical Meson Scanners, Security HUD, Health HUD, Chem Sprayer, Nanopaste
* Perhaps request M39 SMGs from the RO, the armory, or the firing range (a Researcher usually needs someone to help)
* Use the Circuit Imprinter: Cloning Pod, RUST Fuel Controller, Subspace Broadcaster, Relay Mainframe

When these objects have all been analyzed, check your research levels. They should generally be around 4 or 5. Exceptions are Biological research and Illegal research. To gain levels in Biological, perform an autopsy on a Xenomorph and stick one alien part in the Organic Analyzer. Once that's done, stick the other parts in the Organic Printer and that'll let you print fun Xeno-based stuff.

Use the console Settings to sync all research levels. It's unclear whether this transfers all technology levels to the rest of the Almayer.

== Now What?==
----
The Researcher role is fairly open-ended. Possible projects include:
* Protolathing laser scalpels for the medical staff
* Protolathing advanced power cells for Engineers and Specialists
* Synthesizing useful or interesting medicines for the staff and Marines
* Creating Autolathes for the medical staff or in other locations
* Engineering large chemical grenades
* Building useful robots
* Assisting the medical staff
* Generating Alien technology to distribute

''Other smart Researchers should add to this list''

==Creating Machines and Robots==
----

''Noted bug: Anything requiring a "scanning module" actually wants a "sensing module".''

===Autolathe===
To make machines, you'll need a coil of wires. Request this from Engineering, find one in the sleepers, or scavenge one.

* Print an Autolathe circuit from the Circuit Imprinter
* Print 3 Matter Bins and 1 Manipulator from the Protolathe (print the best ones that research allows)
* Print a console screen from the Autolathe
* Find the spot to build the Autolathe
* Click a stack of metal and construct the machine frame
* Click the machine frame with a coil of wire
* Click the Autolathe Circuit into the machine frame
* Add the other parts
* Tap the assembly with a screwdriver to finish it

===Medibot (by default, injects Tricordazine)===
* Empty a medkit (there are lots in the medbay)
* Use the printers in the Operating Rooms to print a robot arm
* Add the robot arm to the empty medkit
* Add a Health Analyzer to the assembly
* Autolathe (or vend in R&D) and add a Proximity Sensor
* Use the hand labeler to name your new Medibot

Tap the Medibot with your ID to open the control panel. This provides new options for the bot and allows a researcher to add a beaker containing medicine. Experience with this has been mixed.

===Cleanbot===
* Autolathe a Bucket
* Autolathe (or vend in R&D) and add a Proximity Sensor
* Use the printers in the Operating Rooms to print and add a robot arm
* Use the hand labeler to name your new Cleanbot

==Guide to Chemistry==
----
This guide is neither exhaustive nor proven 100% accurate:

===Medical===
* Bicardine: Inaprovaline + Carbon
* Clonexadone: (5u Phoron Catalyst) Cryoxadone + Sodium + 0.1 Phoron
* Cryoxadone: Dexaline + Oxygen + Water
* Dermaline: Kelotane + Phosphorus + Oxygen
* Dexaline: (5u Phoron Catalyst) 0.1 Phoron + 20 Oxygen
* Inaprovaline: Carbon + Oxygen + Sugar
* Kelotane: Carbon + Silicon
* Peridaxon: Bicardine + Clonexadone
* Synthmeat: 5 Blood + Clonexadone

''A Peridaxon walkthrough: 20 Phoron + 20 Oxygen + 10 Water + 10 Oxygen + 30 Sodium + 20 Carbon + 10 Sugar + 10 Oxygen + 20 Carbon.''

===Non-Medical===
* Ammonia: 3 Hydrogen + Nitrogen
* Cleaner: Ammonia + Water
* Explosive: Potassium + Water (dangerous reaction)
* Fire: Phoron + Aluminum + Sulfuric Acid (dangerous reaction)
* Flash: Sulfur + Aluminum + Potassium
* Polytrinic Acid: Sulfuric Acid + Hydrochloric Acid + Potassium
* Silicate: (5u Phoron Catalyst) Aluminum + Silicon + Oxygen
* Smoke: Potassium + Sugar + Phosphorus
* Thermite: Iron + Aluminum + Oxygen

==Grenades==
----
Obviously, be careful making grenades. They're dangerous. For an explosive grenade:

* Autolathe 2 large beakers (Buckets also work)
* Protolathe 1 Large Chem Grenade (it holds 2 beakers)
* Grab 2 remote signalers and 1 igniter from the vendor in the lab or make them from the Autolathe
* Put potassium in one large beaker using the chem dispenser (Click it in your hand to use a lid)
* Put an equal amount of water into the other beaker using the sinks upstairs in the operating rooms (while moving using ladders do not hold open beakers in your hands, the contents will spill)
* Place both containers into the Large Chem Grenade shell by clicking on the shell with the beaker in your active hand
* Use a screwdriver (from Autolathe or a toolbox) on the igniter to make it ready to attach
* Set both signalers to the same frequency and same code. DO NOT use the defaults since someone will probably send signals for fun and end up triggering your grenade at a bad time. If you use a signaller now, the other should *beep, beep*.
* Use a screwdriver on one signaler until it's ready to attach
* Attach that signaler to the igniter; use the screwdriver on that assembly to make it "ready"
* If you put the ready signaler-igniter assembly on the ground and use the other signaler, the assembly should spark
* Add the ready signaler-igniter assembly to the Large Chemical Grenade by clicking on it
* Use the screwdriver to ready the grenade (it should turn green)
* Use the hand labeler to name the detonator and grenade the same thing
* DO NOT send the signal unless you want to breach R&D like an idiot. Give it to a competent marine.

60 units of each potassium and water is a medium boom. 90 units of each is a serious bang. 120 units each might breach the ship's walls.

Try out different mixes of chemicals. You can make a Peridaxon smoke cloud grenade or one filled with polytrinic acid. Just remember that certain combinations will instantly react and should not be allowed in the same beaker. For instance, if you filled one beaker with 60u potassium and tried to add 60u of water, it'll blow up in your face.

The igniter can also be combined with other things, like the timer, the proximity sensor, or the infrared laser.

* TIMER: Set the parameters on the timer before inserting the timer assembly into the grenade shell. When the grenade is fully assembled, you'll have to click the grenade one more time to prime it and start the timer's program.
* PROXIMITY SENSOR: Set the parameters on the proximity sensor before inserting its assembly into the grenade shell. When the grenade is fully assembled, you'll have to click the grenade one more time to prime it and start the proximity sensor's program. It's also useful as a doorbell or early Xeno warning.
* IR LASER: Before attaching it to anything else, rotate the IR laser to your desired direction by clicking on it. One way to use the laser is to attach it to a signaler to detonate a grenade. It's also useful as a doorbell or early Xeno warning.

Hypothetically, the components available in R&D could be used to make really crafty traps. As one example, the anti-acid spray seems particularly useful on explosive grenades.

Marine Law

2017-10-04T05:27:09Z

Apophis775:

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Forward=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 
=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force,the Chief MP or acting commander (may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
## If the suspect is being held for less than 30 minutes for a non-violent offense, remove all of their equipment with the exception of their boots, jumpsuit, and radio.
## If the suspect is being held for more than 30 minutes, is considered an escape risk, has committed a violent offense, or presents a danger to himself or others, then remove all their equipment and dress them in an orange jumpsuit and boots. Return their radio, unless they are abusing it.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized their headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 
===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration.
 
 
=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander & Admiral of the Almayer holds the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution. They may kill anyone under their command or on their ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. The CO/Admiral must state why the individual was executed and should the MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command VIA FAX to inquire if the execution was reasonable afterwards. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.). 
This power can only be used on captured prisoners when it is not possible to perform standard execution procedures. 
(This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.)
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
 
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines, security (non-lethals only), the Acting Commander, XO, Staff Officers, and Requisitions Officer. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

"''The difference between a normal policeman and a military policeman, is that a military policeman deals with trained killers''" - Anonymous

=Overview=
As a Military Police Officer, your primary duty is to maintain law and order on board the Almayer. This doesn't mean going around stunning all the Marines because you saw them hold a gun, this means you respect [[Marine Law]]!

Enforcing Marine Law may be a hard task due to Marines being armed with guns, but - if you need it - your riot suit soaks up bullets like a sponge. Still, it shouldn't be worn unless necessary. MPs start the round equipped with a flash, taser, stun baton, and some handcuffs. MPs may '''never''' use lethal force.

You don't outrank every member of the crew, but even the Commander and other Officers are not above Marine Law. These laws apply to all personnel, except for military officials from High Command or diplomatically immune Weyland-Yutani executives, unless stated otherwise. Once they have violated Marine Law, any MP may lawfully arrest any member of the crew.

'''Military Officers and military law enforcement agents are expected to use their best discretion when applying sentences and apprehending those who violate the above laws. Failure to do so will result in immediate contract termination at the discretion of Central Command military officials.'''

=The MPs and Server Rules=
MPs are held to a very high standard of conduct because they are the source of in-character discipline aboard the Almayer and the server's first line of defense against out-of-character infractions. MPs should become familiar with the [http://colonial-marines.com/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=5094 server rules]. Some of these rules are specifically applicable to MPs.

=Marine Arrest Procedure=
If you need to arrest someone, try to warn them first and do it with minimal drama.

==Compliant/Non-aggressive suspect who is not resisting==
#Verbally inform the suspect you are going to take them into custody and the charge.
#Order the suspect to the ground.
#Handcuff the suspect.
#Inform the suspect of the expected duration they will be in the brig.

==Belligerent, aggressive or non-compliant suspect==
#Prepare your preferred method of neutralizing resistance (Taser, Stun-Revolver, Stun-baton).
#Apply preferred method until suspect is no longer resisting.
#Secure the Suspect.
#Inform them of the charge and duration of their sentence (don't forget to add resisting arrest).

==Brig Processing Procedure==
# Begin the timer the moment the prisoner is in the cell.
# Remove necessary items from the suspect.
## If the suspect is being held for 30 or less minutes for a non-violent offense, remove their backpack, belt, armor (head and chest), and any tools that may be used for escape. Do NOT strip them of their radio, jumpsuit, or boots.
## If the suspect is being held for more than 30 minutes, for a violent offense, or are a past escape risk fully strip them and have them wear the orange prisoner suit. They may keep their radio unless they abuse it while in the cell (such as trying to escape, or screaming over it).
# Buckle-cuff the suspect to the bed.
# Flash the suspect and immediately remove their handcuffs.
# Recover your handcuffs and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners, there must be at least one MP in Security at ALL TIMES (except in emergency situations).

(Note: it may be impractical or impossible to begin the timer the moment the prisoner is in the cell. It may be better practice to begin the timer the moment the arresting MP leaves the cell.)

==Prisoner Rights==
The following is a list of rights prisoners have. With the noted exceptions, these rights '''CANNOT BE DENIED'''.

# Medical Treatment on Request (MP will call a doctor to treat in security, if moving to med-bay is required it will NOT count against time to serve).
# Access to a radio (may be denied if the prisoner is abusing it).
# To appeal with the Commander (or a representative he sends) in a timely manner about his case one time (commander may deny this depending on the situation).
# Protection from threats (the duty of the MP is to ensure that the prisoner is safe and unharmed during confinement).

=Storing evidence=
Click and drag the item onto the evidence bag to place the item into the evidence bag. Once that's done place it in the gun cabinet as it's your most secure area in the Mp office, or if it's a current ongoing investigation leave it out on the centre table so that the other Mp's can look at it. Generally if you manage to get fingerprints from your perp you'll also want to store those as well.

Apophis775: /* Special Provisions */

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Forward=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 
=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force,the Chief MP or acting commander (may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
## If the suspect is being held for less than 30 minutes for a non-violent offense, remove all of their equipment with the exception of their boots, jumpsuit, and radio.
## If the suspect is being held for more than 30 minutes, is considered an escape risk, has committed a violent offense, or presents a danger to himself or others, then remove all their equipment and dress them in an orange jumpsuit and boots. Return their radio, unless they are abusing it.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized their headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 
===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration.
 
 
=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander & Admiral of the Almayer holds the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution. They may kill anyone under their command or on their ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. The CO/Admiral must state why the individual was executed and should the MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command VIA FAX to inquire if the execution was reasonable afterwards. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.). 
This power can only be used on captured prisoners when it is not possible to perform standard execution procedures. 
(This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.)
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 
===Command Requested Arrests===
If the Commander, Acting Commander, or a Staff Officer requests a marine to be arrested for a crime, you MUST arrest said marine. You may hold the marine for a maximum of 10 minutes while evidence is gathered. If the marine is proven innocent in the end, the requesting officer may be held liable for a False Arrest charge.
===Crew Authorized Weapons===
 
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines, security (non-lethals only), the Acting Commander, XO, Staff Officers, and Requisitions Officer. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 

===Crew Authorized Weapons===
 
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines, security (non-lethals only), the Acting Commander, XO, Staff Officers, and Requisitions Officer. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.

Apophis775: /* Current Marine Laws */

<center><big>'''United States Colonial Marines'''</big> 
<big>Uniform Code of Military Justice</big> </center>
''Note:'' The Commander of the USS Almayer and all its crew are not above UCMJ, Procedures, or Code of Conduct. UCMJ also applies to all personnel who are in the vicinity of a USCM Operation or on board a ship. The only exceptions are Diplomatically Immune Weyland-Yutani Executives (not including the on-board Liaison) and specially dispatched officials from High Command who have exception to authority for emergency matters.
 
 
=Forward=
The United States Colonial Marines Uniform Code of Military Justice is enforced by the Office of the Provost Marshal. On ships and USCM colonies this duty falls to the Military Police and Chief MP. They operate outside the authority of the command when enforcing the Law. The Chief MP has the final say on law enforcement within his operational area, unless overseen by higher ranking members of the Provost Marshal. Local Colonial Marshals are expected to fully co-operate with the Chief MPs and MPs when they are operating within their jurisdiction.
 
 
=Arrest Procedures=
''Note:'' If a suspect is injured or wounded, alert Medbay to have a doctor sent to the brig. Unless the suspect's life is IMMEDIATELY in danger, they are to be brought to the Brig and treated there.
 
===Compliant Suspect (not resisting or running)===
# Verbally inform the suspect you are taking them into custody and the charge.
# Order the suspect to the ground.
# Handcuff the suspect.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig for processing.
 
===Non-Compliant Suspect (resisting or running)===
# Prepare a non-lethal method of neutralization
# Apply until they are no longer resisting
# Secure the suspect and Inform the suspect of their charge
# Bring the suspect to the brig
 
===Dangerous Suspect (has used a lethal weapon against law enforcement)===
# Ensure you have a non-lethal response prepared
# Engage the suspect and attempt to subdue them. Minimize collateral damage.
#* If the suspect cannot be subdued with non-lethal force,the Chief MP or acting commander (may authorize a lethal force response in extreme situations, primarily when Marine lives and/or the safety of the ship are at risk.
# Secure the suspect and any weapons they had and inform them of their charges.
# Bring the suspect to the Brig
 
 

=Detainment and Brig Procedures=
''Note:'' If the prisoner is removed from his cell for ANY REASON the timer is PAUSED. Time spent outside a cell does NOT count towards time being served for the crime, even if he is in medbay.
 
# Inform the prisoner of the charge and set the timer
# Remove all equipment from the prisoner and place it into their locker. Weapons may be secured in the MP armory if you wish.
## If the suspect is being held for less than 30 minutes for a non-violent offense, remove all of their equipment with the exception of their boots, jumpsuit, and radio.
## If the suspect is being held for more than 30 minutes, is considered an escape risk, has committed a violent offense, or presents a danger to himself or others, then remove all their equipment and dress them in an orange jumpsuit and boots. Return their radio, unless they are abusing it.
# Buckle the prisoner to the bed.
# Flash the prisoner and remove their handcuffs.
# Recover your handcuffs and any equipment and leave the cell.
# For the duration that there are prisoners in the Brig, the Chief MP or a regular MP must be in security AT ALL TIMES (unless it's an emergency).
 
 

=Prisoner Rights=
The following is a list of basic rights the prisoners have. They can NOT be denied, except in an extreme situation and only then with authorization from the Chief MP. 
 
===Medical Treatment===
All treatment must take place in the brig if possible. If not, an MP may escort a prisoner to medbay for treatment. The prisoner MUST have an orange jumpsuit and shoes, and will not be given their Radio or ID until they return. Time spent in medical will NOT count against their sentence.
 
===Access to a Radio===
Unless the prisoner has abused the radio, they are authorized their headset. If any MP believes that it is being abused (including being used to co-ordinate a prison-break), this right can be denied.
 
===Appeal Sentence in a timely manner===
The prisoner may request an appeal on his sentence from the Chief MP. If the Chief MP is not available, he may appeal to the acting commander. This right is rescinded during emergencies. The Chief MP has the final say on all appeals, and can override the Commander if he feels it is in the best interest of the ship's safety.
 
===Protection from threats===
Prisoners must be kept safe, unharmed, and healthy during their confinement. MPs must work to the best of their ability to ensure this. Self-inflicting wounds will result in being straight-jacketed for the entire duration.
 
 
=Execution Procedures=
“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words. And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die.” 
Executions of prisoners are authorized for crimes with execution as the maximum punishment. Additionally, if the maximum amount of time to be served is greater than 1 hour, or for repeated offenders, the Chief MP or Acting Commander may request an execution. Both must agree for an execution to be authorized. 
 
===Procedure===
# The Commander or Chief MP must make a ship-wide announcement from the CIC communication console informing the crew of the intent to execute the prisoner, why, and the execution method. In a code Red or Code Delta situation, this procedure can be ignored. (Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander & Admiral of the Almayer holds the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution. They may kill anyone under their command or on their ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. The CO/Admiral must state why the individual was executed and should the MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command VIA FAX to inquire if the execution was reasonable afterwards. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.). 
This power can only be used on captured prisoners when it is not possible to perform standard execution procedures.

(Example: "I, Captain Erin Kowalski, hereby authorize the execution of Donald Cluwne on the charges of murder, assault, and damage to the ship. He will be executed by firing squad in the briefing room.") Authorized methods of execution are either Firing Squad (handled by MPs) or Lethal Injection (handled by CMO).
# The Acting Commander OR Chief MP (whoever made the initial request) MUST be present at the execution.
# The Condemned MUST be given a chance to give any final words. They may use a radio for this (even if their radio was taken for abuse).
 
===Battlefield Execution===
The Commander & Admiral of the Almayer holds the authority to perform a Battlefield Execution. They may kill anyone under their command or on their ship without any warning or procedure if they feel they are a threat to the mission. The CO/Admiral must state why the individual was executed and should the MPs have concerns, they may contact USCM High Command VIA FAX to inquire if the execution was reasonable afterwards. (This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.). 
This power can only be used on captured prisoners when it is not possible to perform standard execution procedures. 
(This is similar to the "Rule 0" rule which applies to admins - you're able to do this, but it's much better not to, since you are subject to the consequences of your actions and may be removed from the whitelist if your reasons aren't acceptable.)
 
 

=Incompetent Command=
As Military Police you are expected to enforce the Law and Procedures upon all members of the crew. If the Commander, XO, or any command staff are in violation of UCMJ at any time, the Chief MP is authorized to remove them from command and replace them with whoever is next in the Chain of Command. However, this requires confirmation from Central Command before it is enacted (you can use the fax machine in the Chief MPs office).
 
 

=Special Provisions=
 
===Mutinies===
Military Police are strictly forbidden from participating in mutinies against the legitimate Command staff. If you are made aware of a mutiny, you must take all necessary actions to prevent it and protect the legal Command Staff. If, the Chief MP believes that the legal command staff is unable to perform their duties for any reason, the Chief MP may contact Central Command for permission to relieve them of command and replace them with the next officer in the Chain of Command (using the fax machine in the Chief MP office). If a Chief MP is not available, a consensus between the MPs can result in the same situation. Mutinies are unlawful, however, and MPs must do everything in their power to prevent and suppress a Mutiny.
 

===Crew Authorized Weapons===
 
*'''Code Green''' - Authorized Weapons may be carried by deploying marines, security (non-lethals only), the Acting Commander, XO, Staff Officers, and Requisitions Officer. If you have a weapon, you must keep it holstered at all times while on the ship. This applies to Deploying Marines as well.
*'''Code Blue''' - All crew are authorized pistols. Unless there is an immediate threat, only Law Enforcement may have weapons unholstered.
*'''Code Red''' - No Weapon Restrictions (Except as explained in the Rules)
Exceptions: If you or someone you are responsible for are in immediate, life-threatening danger and the appropriate code-level has not been set. (Note: Meta-gaming rules still apply and over-ride the exception)
 
 
 
 
 

=Current Marine Laws=
'''NOTE:''' It is the duty of the arresting marine, to determine the punishment, ranging from the Minimum to Maximum. It is reccomended to make the severity of the punishment meet the crime and to minimize excessive punishments. 
'''EXCESSIVE TIME:''' If the total punishment is to exceed 60 minutes, the Chief MP can give special permission for permanent confinement, no matter the crime.
