The resource is not the copy you downloaded. Re-download qs-police-creator from the CFX Portal and replace the folder, keeping only your config/ and custom/ changes. Also check that qs-police-props is started — the tablet prop comes from it.

Your job is not a police department yet: add it under Admin → Dispatch → Jobs. If Config.CAD.RequireItem is true, the player also needs the cad item in their inventory.

The screen lists your identifiers with ready-made lines. Copy one into server.cfg and restart the whole server:

add_ace identifier.license:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx qspoliceadmin allow

Using groups instead? Make sure add_ace comes after add_principal, and that the group is in Admin → Server Setup → Access. See Claiming Admin Access.

That resource starts after Police Creator, so it was not running when detection looked. Move its ensure above ensure qs-police-creator, or set it by hand in config/shared/config.lua (for example Config.Inventory = 'ox_inventory'). See Overriding Detection.

Correct behaviour. Everything the admin panel manages — jobs and ranks, dispatch, radio, the K9, garages, shops, lockers — is saved in your database on the first start. From then on the panel is the only place to change it.

Police Creator has just added its two export lines to pma-voice. Restart the server once and the message stops for good.

Printed by the light editor. qs-police-creator must start before qs-police-veh-creator — or it failed to start; scroll up for its own error.

Your framework's tables use a different text collation than the qs_police_ tables, so they cannot be compared. The console prints a [COLLATION FIX REQUIRED] block with the exact ALTER TABLE lines for your database. Back up first, run them, restart. The full walkthrough is in How to Fix Collation Issues.

Once fixed — or if it does not affect you — Config.DisableCollationWarnings = true hides the warning.

Normal on the very first start, while the tables are being created. Restart the server once.

First, who can see it: a camera with no job rights is private to the job that placed it. If you picked a job but left every box unticked, that job gets nothing. Then look for a red Failed to save camera line — restart qs-police-creator and it adds the missing column and says so.

Vehicle records cannot tell whether a car is parked. Set Config.OwnedVehiclesTableGarageColumn to the column your garage script uses.

That job has no rows in job_grades. Add its grades to your ESX jobs, then restart.

Dispatch, Radio, Reports and Cameras only open on duty. Press the duty button on the tablet's Main page.

Their rank does not hold that permission. Open Admin → Dispatch → Jobs, check the department's permissions and the override for that exact grade — a deny in an override wins over the department's baseline.

Closing calls and assigning other units is for ranks at or above the department's Min Grade (3 for police by default). Lower it in Admin → Dispatch → Jobs if needed. Unattended calls close themselves after 5 minutes.

The penal code is empty on a fresh install. Write a chapter and an article, or import the ready-made code. Also remember the charge dialog only lists players within 7 m by default.

The officer must be on duty, in a police department, with the Handcuff Player permission, and within 2.5 m. Ambulance and fire do not have it by default. Searching also needs the suspect to be cuffed and the Search Player permission.

It needs the driver's seat of an emergency-class vehicle, being on duty, and a job listed in Config.RPOL.Jobs (config/shared/rpol.lua). Add sheriff and your other departments there.

Check the boot summary's Voice line. With pma-voice, restart once after the first start (see above). If the F8 console says pma-voice is not started, start it before Police Creator. With yaca the F8 console may print an "Unsupported Config.VoiceSystem" warning; the radio still uses yaca.

The item is not in your inventory's item list yet. Add it from Inventory Items, with its image, and restart the inventory.

They need screenshot-basic running and an image host in config/server/webhooks.lua: Config.FivemanageToken (recommended) or Config.DiscordWebhook. With both empty the console says image features are disabled.

Fivemanage answers 401 for every failure. Read the message after it: "You have reached the maximum storage limit" means the token is fine and the account is out of storage — delete files or upgrade the plan. A wrong token says "token does not exist".

A Discord webhook was pasted into the token field. Move it to Config.DiscordWebhook, or paste your Fivemanage token instead.

Press Deposit in the Connection card of Admin → Society money, or run qs-society-check police 100 in the server console. There are three outcomes:

• "No banking adapter is loaded" — Config.SocietyBanking names a script with no file in server/custom/society/. Fix the spelling, or delete the line to go back to auto-detection.

• "deposit FAILED" — your banking script refused the call. On ESX this usually means the society account does not exist yet: the console prints the two SQL lines that create it — run them and restart the server.

• "accepted but the balance did not change" — the money went to an account name your bank does not use. Map it in the Account names card (police → society_lspd).

Keeping an edited copy of a framework bridge from an older version? Take the new file and re-apply your changes — older copies do not deposit fines.

Usually correct behaviour. Alerts need witnesses — with no NPCs around and no camera in range, nobody calls — and are rarer at night. Players in Config.PoliceJobs never trigger alerts, and silenced or blacklisted weapons never do. Test with Config.Debug = true in a busy street, and check that qs-police-creator starts before qs-police-alerts.

It only works while the player is dead. If your ambulance script keeps players in a downed state instead, change Config.IsDead in qs-police-alerts/config/config.lua to that script's check.

They must be in Config.AllowedEvidenceJobs, hold WEAPON_FLASHLIGHT and aim with it. Evidence also disappears after 45 minutes and on a restart. Collecting needs an empty_evidence_bag and room for the filled one.

Correct behaviour. Those two are left by your own scripts through the evidence events — a robbery, a fight, an injury.

It needs an on-duty job of type leo, which QBCore and Qbox police jobs have. ESX jobs have no type, so on ESX collect DNA from blood evidence instead.

Only jobs listed in Config.Jobs of qs-police-veh-creator/config.lua see a depot — by default only police. Add your other departments with their zones. You must be seated in the vehicle inside the zone.

qs-police-props is not started, or starts after the light editor. It streams every light-bar model.

Turn a light group on first (Numpad 1–9); the siren only sounds with lights running. If the tone changes when you look behind you, rebind Change Siren Tone in Settings → Key Bindings → FiveM.
