What is the APD?
The APD is a whitelisted faction that operates as a peacekeeping force that enforces the laws of Altis and seeks to assist the civilian population. The key responsibilities of being an APD Officer are to uphold and enforce the law.
The APD is also responsible for protecting the Federal Reserve, Blackwater Armory, and the Altis Penitentiary. The APD is obligated to respond to these Federal Events if civilians attempt to break into them to ensure the high value items do not fall into rebel hands.
The APD consists of a ranking structure that Officers can progress through, all of which come with additional equipment, powers and duties.

While the COTM will be whitelisted as a staff sergeant, they cannot utilize the powers of a staff sergeant. For example, the COTM cannot:
- Enter rebels via APD dispatch from a civilian

Undercover Officers
Active Duty FTO+ may utilize the APD undercover system with a maximum of 2 APD undercover officers that can conduct operations at a time, and have access to civilian vehicles.
What is the Undercover System?
Active duty FTO+ can go undercover on the Island of Altis. As undercover officers, they have the ability to disguise themselves as civilians to conduct covert operations and assist uniformed APD officers. Undercover officers must follow the APD Handbook and also have additional rules they have to follow. These rules can be found here.
Undercover APD Officers will have their name tags appear white, identical to a civilian's until they choose to reveal their identity. They may also disclose their undercover status by showing their badge to a civilian without their name tag changing in appearance. Any undercover APD officers must reveal their identity before initiating on any civilians.
