Sometimes, catching criminals can be very simple, but other times, it can be hard if the criminal is using guns or grappling hooks. A police officer is allowed to use these types of gadgets, using ah, but I have recently noticed that you can not cancel items in ah. Instead, you must wait 48 hours to get your item back from ah, which is a big annoyance. Instead, these types of items should be right in the officer's hot bar when they turn on /duty, which will make it a lot easier. A police officer will only be allowed to use these gadgets when the criminal is using them. It can consist of a multi tool with a grappling hook, and also a gun. I have noticed that a lot of criminals also use guns against officers, which makes it almost impossible for the officer to catch them. The assault rifle has lots of knock back, which is really annoying because the officer can't get near the criminal that way. I think if officers had better weapons to use, against criminals using guns and grappling hooks, it will make the catch more fair.
