MGVRP DOT Scene Expectations

If you’re on scene — you’re working.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) is more than just towing. You are a critical support asset at every scene.

Arrival on Scene

  • Pull in safely, activate amber lights, and park strategically.
    Avoid blocking emergency units or traffic unless specifically instructed to do so.

  • Check in with scene command or the lead LEO.
    Ask:

    • “What do you need me on?”

    • “Which vehicle is assigned to me?”

On-Scene Responsibilities

If You’re Towing:

  • Roleplay (/me and /do) the hookup — don’t just jump in and drive off.

  • Secure the vehicle realistically and completely before transport.

If You’re Not Towing:

  • Assist with scene safety: deploy cones, flares, and barriers.

  • Direct traffic if it’s heavy, backing up, or poses a danger.

  • Clear debris, vehicle parts, and fluids — RP it using /me and /do.

  • Stay clear of EMS/FD operations, but be available to help when cleared to do so.

Professional Communication

  • Keep radio traffic clear and concise.

  • Never talk over LEOs or scene leadership.

  • If something seems unsafe or wrong, speak up professionally.

Stay in Roleplay

  • Avoid standing around or going idle — if you’re unsure what to do, ask for an assignment.

  • Stay in character and remain present until dismissed or cleared.

Towing & Transport Protocol

  • Tow to the correct impound lot or designated location.

  • Roleplay the drop-off, vehicle securing, and any paperwork.

  • Do not teleport or skip steps — keep transport realistic.

Before Leaving the Scene

  • Confirm with scene command that your task is complete.

  • Remove any cones, flares, or barriers you deployed.

  • Notify dispatch or lead LEO:
    “DOT clear, returning to service.”

Final Reminder

DOT is not a spectator role.
If you’re on scene, you’re expected to contribute — actively and realistically.

Ask. Act. Support.
Your presence should always add value to the scene.
