Option 1 sounds good, but to be fair, it would be good to get this in place asap. I've not really enjoyed the server much the last few days as it's been really quiet for police at the times I've been on.
Would be good to start off by returning more basic class 3's with limited sights for both civs & the majority of police.
At least we should enable for majors as it looks to be very cop sided.
