Reasonable Suspicion VS Probable Cause

	RS, or reasonable suspicion, is what an officer needs to perform an “investigatory” stop. Reasonable suspicion is the legal standard that the department must meet in order to briefly detain a person and search him/her for contraband. This standard is not as high as for probable cause. '''The officer must have reasonable suspicion that a person has committed a crime, is currently in the process of committing a crime, or plans to commit a crime.'''

'''The officer must have reasonable suspicion that a person has committed a crime, is currently in the process of committing a crime, or plans to commit a crime.'''

	PC, or probable cause, is when ~~the police~~ must have sufficient knowledge of facts or evidence that would lead a reasonable person to believe that a crime has been, is, or will be committed and that the person being investigated committed the offense. Arrests made with or without a warrant must be based on probable cause. '''People are protected from unreasonable searches or seizures or the issuance of a search warrant without probable cause.'''

	The Lieutenant, one of the most pivotal roles in all of the SLE. You are the platoon leader and ensure your squads are not only well-geared but are well learned in what they're doing. You shoulder most of the responsibility while the Commissioner sits back with a bourbon and cigar. As the senior training officer it's also your duty to ensure Sergeants are aptly giving the ~~cadets~~ the proper time to learn the ropes and receiving good habits to exemplify. Given the large amount of hats a Lieutenant may have to put on, it is likely that more than one may be recruited. It is best for the Commissioner to delegate specific subsets of tasks to Lieutenants, such as "Armory Supervisor", "Field Commander", or "Warden of the Brig". It is best that a Lieutenant doesn't take to the field, unless they have other Lieutenants at SLE Outpost taking on the other duties.		The Lieutenant, one of the most pivotal roles in all of the SLE.

	The Sergeant, a seasoned veteran of the SLE who knows how to navigate Space Law effectively and doesn't flinch at even the most hostile of engagements.

Off-Duty Officers are expected to personally conduct themselves to a higher standard of lawfulness. Off-Duty officers should focus on reporting crimes, opposed to seeking to enforce law directly. If a situation is evolving faster than a report could help the officer can, and should, step in and attempt to de-escalate. But, reporting the crime should come as soon as safe and reasonable.

	By being Off-Duty, the Officer foregoes a portion of their normal hourly pay, and only receives a partial stipend for being on-call. The Commissioner may issue bonus pay to make up for differences, or compensate overtime hours, at their discretion.
