Police AI Backup & Air Support

Never patrol alone again. Officers can call AI backup squads and helicopters with rank-based access, give them orders, and use the helicopter’s tablet camera for pursuits and surveillance. It works with ESX, QBCore, Qbox, ox_core and standalone, and the menu and notifications use ox_lib.

Features

Ground backup

• Squads drive in from a road, park, unload and follow you in formation.
• They board their car when you drive off and keep up with you.
• They draw their weapons when you hold one and fight what you fight.
• They never target police players or NPC cops, and they cannot hurt you.
• Several squads from several players work together.
• You can configure vehicles, ped models, weapons, armor, accuracy and the rank needed for each type.
• Reinforcements need a higher rank and an active squad.

Specialist units

• K9: handler and dog, with the dog attacking on command.
• Overwatch: a sniper who takes high ground.
• Breacher: a point man who smashes vehicle windows.
• SWAT, FIB, military and heavy units.

Orders

• Follow, hold, move to waypoint, secure area, cover fire and attack target.
• Traffic stop assist and breach vehicle.
• They work from the menu, the radial wheel, or per squad.

Tactics

• Pursuit: backup cars chase, cut off and box in a vehicle.
• Roadblock: cars block the road with a spike strip.
• Spike strips: you can place your own, and they burst tyres.
• Panic button: alerts other officers (10-13) and calls backup. It can trigger automatically at low health.

Air support

• Scout, attack and transport helicopters.
• Tablet camera: live view with night and thermal vision, and vehicle model, plate and speed. Plate owner lookup works for ESX and QB or Qbox through oxmysql.
• Hunt a vehicle: the helicopter pursues a locked target with location updates, and backup cars join in.
• Tracking spotlight at night.
• Loudspeaker messages shown to nearby players (a notification with a radio beep).
• Evidence photos (needs screenshot-basic).
• Shared target ping on every officer’s map.
• Fast-rope team drop from the transport helicopter.
• Armed helicopter: an attack helicopter with weapons free / hold.

Server owner tools

• Scale with officers online: fewer officers online means stronger or more frequent AI.
• Department budget (optional).
• Per-department loadouts (police, sheriff, state).
• Discord logging.
• Server-side validation of rank, cooldown and limits, with cleanup on disconnect.
• Every feature has an on/off switch in config.lua.

Presentation

• Callsigns and radio callouts.
• ETA and GPS route to incoming units.
• A squad panel with health bars.

Requirements

ox_lib and OneSync. Optional: oxmysql, screenshot-basic.
