Federal Investigation Bureau (FIB) Policy
Federal Investigation Bureau (FIB) Policy
Applies To: All Staff
Authority: Praxis Roleplay Staff Operations
Purpose: Establish clear rules for FIB roleplay usage, limitations, and scene authority within a lore-friendly FiveM environment
FIB is not a standard law enforcement department. It is a specialized agency used for high-level investigations and federal jurisdiction cases.
FIB access is granted to staff to enhance roleplay, not to replace or override local agencies.
FIB should be used intentionally and with justification.
- FIB does not handle routine calls by default
- FIB does not insert into scenes without reason
- FIB focuses on higher-level or developing cases
If there is no clear federal element, involvement should be limited to support or observation.
Being FIB does not automatically grant control of a scene. Authority must be justified through roleplay and situation context.
- Terrorism or credible terror threats
- Human trafficking or organized crime (RICO-style operations)
- Large-scale drug trafficking or interstate criminal activity
- Active federal investigations already established in roleplay
- Crimes involving federal agencies or national-level threats
- Major bank robberies or coordinated financial crimes
Includes hostage situations, organized groups, or repeat offenders
- Large-scale heists (vaults, federal reserves, high-value targets)
- Kidnapping rings or coordinated abductions
- Weapons trafficking or high-risk illegal arms operations
When FIB takes control:
- FIB becomes primary command
- Local units move to support roles
- Control must be clearly communicated
- Requested by local or state law enforcement
- Providing intelligence or investigative support
- Assisting with federal-level resources
- Monitoring situations that may escalate
- FIB may assist in traffic stops
- FIB may assist in patrol situations
- FIB may assist in pursuits
Rules:
- FIB must be requested OR ask to attach if population is low
- If denied → FIB does not attach
- If approved → FIB acts strictly as support
- FIB does not take command
- Patrol must remain low-profile
- Focus on intelligence and investigation
- Monitor activity and build cases
Independent patrol does NOT allow:
- Taking over routine scenes
- Acting as standard patrol
- Inserting into active scenes without justification
- Take control without federal justification
- Override local law enforcement without cause
- Self-assign without roleplay reasoning
- Act as primary for local-only crimes
If there is no federal angle, stay out or stay in support.
- Local law enforcement maintains control by default
- FIB must justify involvement through roleplay
- Command transitions must be clear
- Command transitions must be communicated
- Command transitions must be acknowledged
FIB cannot take control silently or by force.
- A clear transfer of command must occur
- Local command must acknowledge
- FIB must state jurisdictional reasoning
No silent takeovers. No confusion.
- Overstepping authority
- Forcing federal involvement
- Ignoring local command
- Dominating scenes using FIB status
Consequences:
- Removal of FIB privileges
- Staff disciplinary action
- Possible staff removal
- Patrol smart
- Act with purpose
- Respect jurisdiction
If misused, access will be removed.
FIB can operate under ERS and run ERS calls but may not attach to Local Units calls only other FIB Agent calls**
