Perris, CA
For Perris, RCSO if I recall correctly is un-whitelisted, and you can join it freely.

RPD (Riverside Police Dept.), is whitelisted and you join it via the Discord within the MI Server (ref. the information channel and "Whitelisted Servers")

Los Angeles, CA

All LE within LA is whitelisted, you can be a LAPD volunteer after I think a hour of play-time, but otherwise you need to join the servers.

This is as far as I recall though, some portion of this may be wrong.

Subscription/Donation Packages

Certain packages allow you to bypass the training process(es) for specific departments (listed within their perks) for Perris/LA. If you buy one of these packages you would join the respective departmental Discord server, and then request whitelist.

I'd try to join a new server if it is linked, otherwise file a ticket here:

I would agree to a limited extent, but I also have the least amount of financial commitment since I bought a lifetime subscription back in '23 and now have one of the higher tiers for entirely free. Spent $100 then to now save $540 annually.

The lower tiers are quite good perk-wise and are competitive in terms of pricing, think of it in terms of Robux pricing. The higher-tiers are more so for constant players, who wish to donate more and due to their time commitment tend to benefit from their "investment".
The money while I can only presume goes towards the LLC, tends to fund salaries of contractual team members, acquisition of other games or studios, development, etc...

Have you linked your Roblox account to the website?
Sometimes certain serves are weird too with how they load, and sometimes don't load your perks.

The account linkage is likely the reason.

Pretty clear cut RDM.. Hard to reason lethal force, even though you can escalate by one on the continuum at all times, you were clearly no threat.

As far as I know the respective vehicle spawners are where you spawn them. Such as LASD/LAPD you just spawn like any normal car.

A reviewer will reply to the topic with your status. In some instances you do just get unbanned without notice (such as my friend on Discord); but you should get a status reply. Comes down to patience.
