 At Open Circuit, we do not limit the departments you can choose from (including outside Law Enforcement). This means that whenever you go in game, you have the choice of patrolling with whatever agency you want tp maximize Roleplay opportunities for LEO's REGARDLESS OF AOP! Each agency (RCPD, LCSO, FHP) has their own fleets, uniforms, and subdivisions, so you have plenty of flexibility. The LEO system is designed so that members are trained for all departments, and are able to transfer skills and ranks whenever they patrol with a different one. 

Please Note: Some Departments MAY Limit Subdivisions to REQUIRE Additional Training! 

(SRT, K-9, DUI. ETC)

No, and there never will be! One of the reasons why our mission is Experience the Freedom of Roleplay, is that we think it’s crazy to expect people to make a hard time commitment for a hobby. Open Circuit Roleplay is here for fun, so you’ll never have to worry about time commitments. 

PLEASE NOTE: Some Departments (FIRE/EMS, DISPATCH) MAY ask their personnel to log 1 shift per week!

Short answer, nobody. While the Founder of OCRP (@goose.dod) techincally owns the server itself, we operate democratically, with our Administration leading the community. To assist them, Emergency Services and Civilian Directors help shape the basis of every Roleplay SSU! Our system is set up so that no one person is making community-wide decisions, ideas have to be passed through multiple people.
