Frequently asked questions

Are new roleplayers welcome?

Yes. OFRP welcomes both first-time roleplayers and experienced players. Respect, effort, and a willingness to learn matter most.

Can I play outside scheduled patrols?

Yes. Scheduled patrol notifications provide the time and Area of Patrol, but the server remains available outside scheduled patrols.

Do I need a microphone?

A microphone is normally required. If yours is not working, you must be able to demonstrate the issue and communicate through text chat.

Where do I submit an application?

Most departments are currently accepting applications — check the status badge on each department below, since a few are temporarily closed. Applications and new-member information are handled through the official OFRP Discord.

How do I report a rule violation?

Use the in-game report function for OFRP rule violations or open a support ticket in Discord after the scene. Video clips are strongly recommended when available.

Do I need a CAD character?

Yes, if you plan to have any interaction with law enforcement, your character must be set up in CAD before entering the scenario.
