FAQ for server owners and staff.

Make sure the bot was invited with applications.commands, then wait for Discord to refresh slash commands. For development guild commands, confirm the bot is registering to the correct guild.

Setup commands usually require Staff Role, Bot Admin Role, Manage Server, Administrator, or a command-specific permission. Configure staff roles with /setup first.

The Discord bot links a guild to a CAD community. Once linked, duty sessions, departments, calls, civilians, vehicles, reports, warrants, and logs use shared community data.

Run /setup and confirm the 911 channel is configured. Then check that the bot can view the channel, send messages, and embed links.

RP actions are combined into /rp. Use the action autocomplete field, such as /rp action:sit, /rp action:wave, /rp action:fine, or /rp action:panic. Optional fields like user, item, amount, reason, location, and message are available when an action needs them.

Staff sets a Twitter channel with /setup or /twitter-channel. Members create a server-specific handle with /create-twitter, update it with /edit-twitter, then post with /tweet. Tweet messages include like and repost buttons.

Configured bot admin Discord IDs can use /force fake-create to stage temporary active CAD units for screenshots or social media. Use /force fake-list to review staged units, /force fake-update to adjust callsign, status, display name, note, or timer, and /force fake-delete or /force fake-clear to remove them. Fake units are marked internally and do not affect normal member duty sessions.

Community owners and admins can open Community Settings, enable Discord Duty Nickname Sync under Modules, and save. It is off by default. The bot needs Manage Nicknames and must have a higher role than the members it updates. Nicknames use the active civilian name, department or sub-department, and a callsign capped at five characters.

In Community Settings > Modules, Staff Vehicle Approvals and Staff Firearm Approvals are off by default. With approvals off, website firearm registrations and linked Discord or website vehicle registrations are approved immediately and appear on civilian records. With approvals on, staff with the matching manage feature or community admins approve or deny pending submissions from the registry page.

Create a Discord link code from the website community settings page, then run /community-link in the Discord server that should connect to that CAD community.

Yes. Department feature access controls whether members can view calls, use lookup, manage reports, manage warrants, open medical records, or use other CAD tools.
