The suite uses a handful of inventory items. None of them are created for you — add them to your inventory's item list, with an image, before players need them. Everything else (handcuffs, spike strips, cones, the radio) needs no item at all.

Item	Used by	What it does	Needed?
`cad`	Police Creator	Using it opens the MDT tablet.	Only if `Config.CAD.RequireItem = true`. Otherwise `/cad` is enough.
`camera_repair_kit`	Police Creator	Repairs a broken CCTV camera within 5 m. One is used per repair.	For camera repairs.
`dogfood`	Police Creator	Feeds the K9 and restores its health.	For the K9 unit.
`empty_evidence_bag`	Evidence	Consumed to collect any piece of evidence or a DNA sample.	Required for evidence.
`filled_evidence_bag`	Evidence	The bag you get back, carrying what was found: type, street, calibre, serial, DNA, shoe size.	Required for evidence. Must be unique (it carries metadata).
`rag`	Evidence	Anyone can wipe a crime scene within 30 m in 30 seconds.	Optional.
`evidence_cleaner_kit`	Evidence	On-duty police clear a scene within 30 m in 5 seconds.	Optional.

The names of the first three can be changed: cad with Config.CAD.ItemName, camera_repair_kit with Config.CameraRepair.Item, and the dog food in game under Admin → K9 Unit → The dog.

Item Definitions#

Pick your inventory and paste the block into its item list. Labels, weights and descriptions are yours to change; keep the names.

ox_inventory/data/items.lua — images go in ox_inventory/web/images/ named after the item.

qb-core/shared/items.lua — images go in qb-inventory/html/images/. Qbox servers running ox_inventory use the ox_inventory tab.

For ESX servers using the default inventory, run this once in your database. ESX servers on ox_inventory use the ox_inventory tab instead.

Requiring the Tablet Item#

By default /cad opens the tablet for anyone in a police job, and the cad item is just a shortcut. To make the item mandatory — so a tablet can be lost, stolen or handed out by the armoury:

lua

-- config/shared/config.lua
Config.CAD = {
    RequireItem    = true,
    EnableItemOpen = true,
    ItemName       = 'cad',
}

Without the item, /cad refuses with a "You need … to open the CAD" notice. Add the item to an armoury under Admin → Equipment Shops so officers can pick one up.
