Department Motto
“Fidelity, Bravery, Integrity!”
I, the Sheriff of the Mano County Sheriff’s Office, have chosen this for a reason, there are many
things that you need to possess to be a deputy, but those three stand out the most to me, this slogan describes the high moral standards and high level of motivation the Mano County Sheriff’s Office expects from its staff and its deputies.
Introduction to Department Command
In the MCSO, these are the current command staff members, the command staff includes those ranked
Head Administrator+, Administrator in Training to Administrator is considered a high rank. Sergeant to Captain is considered a supervisor or a middle rank. And Trainee to Corporal is considered a low rank. The command staff is selected with careful consideration, we want the future of Mano to be one that shows an increase of positive things and for Mano to thrive.
Department Ranks
Sheriff - Responsible for overseeing the Mano County Sheriff’s Office, its operations and its divisions, also tasked with handling reports of abuse, and more. Makes sure department high command is running with no corruption; that paperwork is completed.
Undersheriff - Advisor to the Sheriff, assists the Sheriff in his or her operations regarding the overseeing of MCSO’s divisions; they are also tasked with handling reports of abuse, and more. They assist the Sheriff in his administrative paperwork and his or her tasks.
Head Administrator - Tasked with overseeing the admins and their operations, also tasked with training them and occasionally having a meeting with them to catch them up on department high command plans that may affect them. They are also to keep track of admin activity and their training as well as administrative paperwork.
Administrator - To host training, keep the county free of any hindering activities that may halt or delay roleplay. Also to be a role model to lower ranks and to assist the AiT’s in their journey to become an Administrator.
Administrator in Training - Attends phases, co-host/spectates training and also assists in the riding of any hindering atrocities that can halt or delay roleplay.
Captain - Last Middle-Rank supervisor, a role model to lower ranks and a patrol supervisor, has a great responsibility and is first to be called upon when no Administrator+’s are on.
Lieutenant - Supervisor that is tasked with basic calls and are the first to be called upon if any higher ranks are not on, they are to assist lower ranks and lower middle ranks in their duties when on patrol.
Sergeant - Lower tier supervisor, mostly responsible for helping out the lower ranks in their duties as a deputy on patrol, and in the Mano County Sheriff’s Office in general.
Corporal - Junior supervisor, not a patrol supervisor, tasked with assisting deputies in their duties and is an advisor to all Middle Ranks, as their job defines, most important for assisting in pursuits and other law enforcement matters.
Deputy First Class - Senior deputy, this rank and the people who hold it by now are knowledgable of how the Mano County Sheriff’s Office works and how we operate. They assist other deputies and can advise corporals of any concerns they have.
Sheriff Deputy - Normal Sheriff Deputy that operates as they are told by their superiors and abides by the regulations and handbooks provided to them.
Suspended - Assigned to those who have committed inappropriate acts on duty and has been punished.
Trainee - Junior Deputy/Deputy in training, the lowest rank possible, assigned to enforce the law via traffic enforcement, etc, almost like an auxiliary division.
Disciplinary Review
This is to explain the disciplinary action and each level of discipline that can be provided and issued
upon someone.
Below are the following disciplinary actions that can be provided and issued upon you if you break one of the regulations or rules that are in place:

Department Programs
These are where we list all of our department programs, such as Captain applications, Admin
applications and more.
Captain Applications: Opens every month or so for Lieutenants to apply for a chance to become a Captain within the Mano County Sheriff’s Office.
Admin Applications: Opens whenever the Founder feels like, for Captains and Lieutenants to apply for a chance at become an Administrator in Training where they then take three phases to become an official sworn in Administrator.
Corporal - Sergeant Training: Happens about once or twice a week, hosted by an Administrator+ when authorized by the Sheriff. This is an opportunity for Corporals to finally become supervisors, and Sergeants to become Lieutenants and earn their glock.
M.C.S.O. Special Weapons and Tactics Applications: Opens when the Commanding Officer or the Sheriff feel it is time to introduce new Operatives into S.W.A.T.
Department Operations
This section will review different department tactics that happen on the day to day basis.
Perimeter: A perimeter is the concept of closing off all entries to a location until the scene is concluded.
A PERIMETER MUST BE ACTIVATED ON THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS:
End of Pursuit: Have a unit blocking the back of the HRS.
Barricaded Suspects: Have two cars blocking off all entrances to the location, if on open road. If at a house, still block the roads off, but have Deputies on standby at the perimeters (or their vehicles).
Bank Robberies: have all roads closed to the public, have people working the perimeter while someone handles negotiations. SWAT or PSP automatically takes commands during bank robberies.
Debrief: Having a conversation after a situation occurs. All supervisors are to conduct debriefs after large situations such as pursuits, HRS, bank robberies, anything that required three or more units.
Briefing: Having a conversation before something starts (usually before a patrol), where there are three or more people involved. Supervisors are allowed to have briefings at the beginning of department patrols.
